In this new series from Sauce Labs, Marcus Merrell addresses ten things he wishes CIOs and CTOs understood about testing. In episode five, Marcus focuses on a piece of testing that is sometimes overlooked; testing APIs. Come along on this ten-episode journey to learn some best practices while Marcus dispels some myths about the testing space.

Selenium is a Terrific Automation Framework, but it's Not a Strategy

Here at Sauce Labs, we love Selenium. It was created by our co-founder Jason Huggins, so it will always have a soft spot in our hearts. But the truth is, if we are being technical, Selenium is more of a robotic browser control mechanism than a true test automation framework. While Selenium can definitely be part of your test automation strategy, the use of it in itself would not qualify as a proper testing strategy.

Modern Software Needs Modern Testing: The Test Toolchain, AI, and Risk-Based Thinking

Web and mobile apps are now organizations’ primary connection with their customers. Staying relevant and winning market share requires that firms can make constant changes to these apps. However, can organizations deploy many more small changes - often many per day - with confidence and with managed risk? We'll take a closer look at how a modern testing toolchain combines both production safety nets - from canaries, to feature flags, to error reporting - with pre-production intent validation tools for both developers and quality assurance/quality engineering. We can see how it is possible to measure and predict and limit the risk of a change by using AI.

How to Test and Delivery Secure Mobile Apps in the New Era of Finance

Today, over 90% of global internet users access the internet via a mobile device. This trend continues in the financial services industry - in a recent survey by Business Insider, nearly 80% of respondents say mobile is the primary way they access their bank account. To attract and retain customers, it’s therefore necessary for financial services organizations to deliver reliable, secure, and easy to use mobile apps.

Test Automation Code Quality

Automation Code Quality is critical to successful test automation - and it’s often put at risk before the first piece of code is even written. In this session, Chris Wallander discusses what makes good test automation and how to write test cases with automation ROI in mind. He then shares several code design principles, complete with code examples, to help you get the most value out of your automated testing.

Why Security Quality Matters - And What You Should Do About It

As more users opt to do their banking online, the cost of having an unresponsive, unreliable and feature-deficient financial application or website will have growing negative implications. In this presentation, Justin Dolly draws on experience from 20+ years as a CISO and CSO to discuss the current state of security testing. He then shares how Sauce Labs is working to make security testing more comprehensive and more efficient, to help financial services organizations deliver reliable and secure web and mobile apps, faster.

10 Things Testers Wish CIOs and CTOs Knew About Testing: Episode 4

In this new series from Sauce Labs, Marcus Merrell addresses ten things he wishes CIOs and CTOs understood about testing. In episode four, Marcus discusses how Selenium is not a complete test automation strategy, just a key component. Come along on this ten-episode journey to learn some best practices while Marcus dispels some myths about the testing space.

Getting Started With Sauce Labs Low-Code Automated Web Testing

The software industry is transforming rapidly due to new changes brought on by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). AI & ML have democratized many aspects of the software testing process helping businesses, small and large, save time and money. As AI bridges the technical gap required in many jobs, more people will be able to add tremendous value to development teams — without the need of a computer science degree.
