Automation is critical for a holistic software testing strategy in today’s DevOps cycle. Efficient automated QA systems run by talented engineers can shorten development times, improve time to release, lower costs, and drive scale. It’s worth noting that nearly a quarter of companies that initiated automated software testing showed an ROI within the first six months. Sounds perfect, right?

Data integration can be a daunting task, and data engineers usually prefer open-source ETL solutions because of their transparency (you can always inspect the code), flexibility (tinker with the tool), and price performance (no vendor licenses, no maintenance fees). But there are many “gotchas!” with open-source tools you need to consider before picking the best tool for the job.

Automation testing is a technique in which testers leverage automated software tools for executing test cases. These tests typically include operations that are repetitive in both their nature and outcome. Automating the test suite helps in saving time and effort required in performing repetitive and resource-heavy tasks that are difficult to perform manually. In this blog post, let’s explore the advantages, types, and frameworks of Automation testing.

Dig deeper into each and every metric you are tracking.

Stream processing is about creating business value by applying logic to your data while it is in motion. Many times that involves combining data sources to enrich a data stream. Flink SQL does this and directs the results of whatever functions you apply to the data into a sink.

This is a guest post for Integrate.io written by Bill Inmon, an American computer scientist recognized as the "father of the data warehouse." Inmon wrote the first book and first magazine column about data warehousing, held the first conference about this topic, and was the first person to teach data warehousing classes. Five things to know about this topic.

We are excited to announce the release of NeoLoad 9.1. Along with enhancements to RealBrowser for browser-based testing (read the NeoLoad 9.0 release blog for more information on RealBrowser), we are also bringing you additional functionality to further increase NeoLoad’s value.

In software testing lifecycle, you’d come across two of the most common terms: test cases and test scenarios. After all, these are the building blocks of testing. Getting them right is critical to product success. Test scenarios are derived from a use case, whereas a test case is derived from a test scenario. Using both, we ensure software quality and robustness. Bit tricky, right?
