How to get started with a local kubernetes development environment

Mocks can be useful, but hard to build. You can use them as backends for development, or even tests (like load and performance testing). Speedscale takes the legwork out of building mocks, by modeling them after real observed traffic. This video covers a real-world example of how to use mocks to backend a JMeter load test.

How to Load and Performance Test Kubernetes, what is Kubernetes and nuances of the platform

Check out Matt LeRay's talk on How to Test in Kubernetes at Star WEST 2024. Distributed architectures like Kubernetes present unique performance challenges. Autoscaling, Load Balancing and other mechanisms help with resiliency but can also serve to cover up fundamental problems. In this video, learn best practices and high level concepts around Kubernetes and achieving high throughput.

Replay Production Traffic to Mock local development environments

Building and debugging Kubernetes microservices can be tough, especially when you don't have realistic data or environments. See how Speedscale can quickly mock DBs and APIs based on observed production behavior, so you can debug and develop features quickly. People familiar with GoReplay will notice a more modern and automated approach to turning user behavior into reproducible developer environments.

Black Friday Tip for Software Testers

Testers, how can you prepare for Black Friday? @MarcusMerrell suggests running real practice drills. Build an environment as close to production as possible and simulate an outage with your team to see how prepared you really are. These drills help reveal issues in your response process that you might not realize until it’s too late. By practicing in a realistic environment, your teams get more confidence handling real-world outages.

The End of Manual-Only Testing

Is manual testing enough to keep up with the speed of modern development? @Allen Loew from Progressive Leasing explains that while there’s still a place for manual testing in specific cases, automation is becoming a necessity. Automation helps teams maintain the velocity required to meet deadlines. As projects grow in complexity and size, automation is essential to manage large volumes of tests and data efficiently.

Boosting Release Confidence: Scalable and Secure Testing to Prepare for the Holidays

Delivering high-quality digital experiences during the holiday season is crucial, with 30% of annual revenue on the line. Developers need scalable, secure, and compliant infrastructure to ensure smooth releases and easy software testing. However, over 60% of developers admit to releasing untested code to meet deadlines, risking bugs and jeopardizing customer experience and revenue. Listen to the discussion about how to mitigate risk, catch bugs earlier, and test securely at scale in preparation for a busy holiday season.
