Robust software testing strategies are often an act of balance between extreme approaches, and approaching episodic vs. continuous testing is no different. While convention may be committed to a single strategy as an operational criterion for many organizations, consider a combined approach with the two.

The user experience is critical – just ask Ticketmaster.

Discover how automated functional testing can save you time, and give you faster feedback, increased test coverage, and more confidence in your product.

Research has shown that 35% of companies find manual software testing to be the most time-consuming part of the software development life cycle. Because manual testing is so time consuming, test automation has been growing as a solid way to improve ROI. From reduced tester fatigue and greater productivity to a better product and faster time to market – building a robust test automation framework can add numerous benefits to your team.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment, ensuring high-quality software applications has become a critical success factor for enterprises. To achieve this, they are incorporating DevOps practices to accelerate their software development and Continuous Testing practices to test early and often to provide quality software.

Let’s talk about something important in the realm of software testing: Robustness testing. ISTQB states, “Robustness testing is the degree to which a component or system can function correctly in the presence of invalid inputs or stressful environmental conditions.”This is when we test a system or program to see how well it can handle unexpected scenarios and mishaps.

The shift from single public cloud architectures to hybrid multi-cloud continues at enterprises around the globe, as organizations look for greater control, lower costs, and improved performance. I had the opportunity recently to speak with Vaughn Eisler, director of business development at Equinix, about this massive shift and some of the complex reasons behind them. Eisler sees several reasons for the movement.

Logs are essential to any application's development. Most Ruby logs are verbose and chunky, so digging for exactly what you need can be difficult. Even though they contain useful information, you might not get as much value as you should from logs if you don't know how to use them effectively. In this article, we'll explore: Let's get started.

Node.js 12.x onwards introduced async stack traces. Async stack traces allow developers to view the call stack of asynchronous code, making it easier to trace and debug code issues. In this post, we’ll see how async stack traces work, how you can use them to debug code, and how to track them using AppSignal. Ready? Let's get going!

Business intelligence (BI) platforms analyze and present all your data in a visually friendly way on reports, graphs, charts, and dashboards, making it easier to view insights about your operations. But how do you get data into these platforms in the first place? The easiest way is by using BI ETL tools that extract data from its source, transform that data into the correct format, and load it into a central repository like a data warehouse — a process known as Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL).
