Functional testing feels like the bane of one’s existence when things are running on a deadline. No matter the codebase or structure, there’s just so much to do. It also takes a ton of time if you’re doing it manually, and the inefficiency is an atrocity. As one of the final steps before deployment (usually before the non-functional tests start), we have to test everything relating to the functional requirements of the software.

We all are witnessing the growth and evolution of low-code/no-code platforms. Few might still be confused about what this is all about. Don’t feel intimidated, you are not alone, many people are unfamiliar with these terms. This blog will give a gist of it to understand the current revolution of low-code and no-code platforms/tools. We can see more in detail about the history, features, merits, and demerits and how can you adapt and start using them in your organizations.

Working in software development as a tester, it can be difficult to find time to improve the testing process when you are the bottleneck to release with lots of tickets, stories or features to test. I am currently a QA Lead at Cera Care, one of the fastest growing healthcare startups in Europe. Working in this fast moving environment is very challenging for my team, where features are prioritised over anything else and teams have up to 6 developers to 1 QA engineer.

Test automation has undergone a steady evolution since its inception. While the process of writing test cases to test the software remains the same, the “how” part keeps changing. Sometimes, we like to perform simple and plain test script development as we did in the 90s using a spreadsheet. Sometimes, we record our test cases and run them through programming languages as we did in the 2010s using Selenium.

After hours of coding complex web applications and algorithms, amongst many other things, manual tests had to be carried out hundreds of times to ensure the code was right. However, with the introduction of automated tests, things have become much easier for programmers. Ranorex and Selenium are two very popular test automation tools used for this purpose. In today’s article, we will be doing a comparison of Ranorex vs Selenium.

If you use the internet frequently, there are very few chances that you have not come across Google Chrome. By this statement, I can easily cover those people who have not even used this browser or their mode of internet surfing is a different one. So, even if I am on Microsoft Edge and I search for a query or open Google’s home page, I am forced just to check out this fantastic browser once: This is a common scenario whether you have Chrome installed or not.

One of the crucial tasks for web developers is compatibility testing. The thing about a web page is that it might work perfectly fine on a desktop. But when you try to load it through mobile devices, things can look out of place. Sometimes, the site might even be finicky in different web browsers. Well, that is precisely where the Browserling steps in. But to comprehensively test websites, you might not want to settle with the feature and pricing of this automated testing tool.

Jenkins can support multiple jobs by multi-threading, whereas CircleCI has built support for parallelism, which project settings can achieve. Your deployment pipeline is the most crucial part of your software delivery lifecycle. As you keep launching new software products and updates, the last thing you would want is to manually intervene in an otherwise automated SDLC. Automation of build and release code– continuous integration and delivery have become mainstream for enterprise solutions.

You’ve hit a dead-end using Puppeteer as your web-automation module. Well, you’ll be glad to know that many people like you are looking for better alternatives. Puppeteer has been famous ever since Google introduced it. Since the Chrome DevTools team is responsible for developing this module, it works seamlessly with a headless Chrome browser without any issues.

LambdaTest is an excellent software testing platform, but it might not be for everyone. If you’re wondering if it’s for you, worry not – you’re not alone. If you’re considering automation testing tools other than LambdaTest, you’re in the right place. We researched many potential alternatives to LambdaTest, and it’s safe to say that there are some really good options.
