An application is a collection of several components functioning together to meet user requirements. APIs, servers, web services, databases, and more are intertwined under one roof to build software that does what you want it to do. For instance, your favorite e-commerce store has UI elements, cart and Wishlist functionality, secure payment option, rewards, login, and many more systems running together to improve your shopping experience. These separate modules communicate through an interface.

Adopting GraphQL and implementing GraphQL testing have become critical in the API-first landscape. The skyrocketing demand for modern software has put the importance of maintainable, functional, and scalable code on top. To enable independent evolution and decouple the front end from the backend, manual and automated API testing needs to take place for SOAP and REST architecture styles.

In a world where 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day, it’s not surprising that organizations want to harness the power of being data-driven. In our 2022 Data Health Barometer, 99% of companies surveyed recognized that data is crucial for success — but 97% said they face challenges in using data effectively. Perhaps in response to those challenges, 65% of companies reported that they'd started a data literacy program.

Dev projects are complex, and making a rich and robust user experience relies heavily upon testing the results before final production. Testing can be divided into alpha vs. beta testing, but on a continuum of software testing needs, both are mutually critical to a modern DevOps strategy.

Learn more about the similarities and differences between code coverage and test coverage, and how they help you create better software.

Testing asynchronous APIs (AsyncAPIs) is becoming increasingly important as more and more APIs adopt asynchronous communication patterns. ReadyAPI now supports testing of AsyncAPIs, making it an even better tool for API testing. In this blog post, we’ll provide step by step guidelines on how to import your AsyncAPIs from SwaggerHub into ReadyAPI and how to test them. Hopefully, this will help you get started with testing your own asynchronous APIs.

In this new exciting development, Keboola is launching no-code data transformations for everybody on the platform. No-code transformations empower users without the technical know-how to build robust, feature-rich applications without having a degree in computer science or waiting for the IT department to develop the apps for them.

This is Part 5 of the Requirement Gathering Blog series by Rahul Parwal where we explore more on Dealing with Objections. We’d like to thank him for sharing his expertise with the community through this information-packed piece. When facing the issue of lacking proper documentation of requirements, it is important for testers to shift their perspective and focus on the needs and wants of the end-users or customers.

The NodeSource-GitHub partnership is a game-changer for developers seeking to build secure applications directly integrating NCM’s (Node Certified Modules) powerful security features into their GitHub Actions workflow.

With record-high inflation, climate change, and an economic downturn on the horizon, the insurance industry is in a pressure cooker of unpredictable change. Sometimes this change happens over time. Sometimes it seems to happen all at once. To come out on top, insurance companies need new workflow and operations strategies that leverage process automation to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve the customer experience.
