A web development company needs to determine the right tools and frameworks required for streamlining processes and testing efficiency, hence proper consideration is needed. The global automation testing market size was estimated at USD 15.39 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 17.71 billion in 2024. Notably, in 2023, North America dominated the global market with a leading share of 24.37%.

Authorization is essential in APIs to ensure secure access to data and services. It validates that the client making a request has the correct permissions to access or manipulate data, providing an added layer of security in web services. Whether you’re managing user credentials, making requests to a cloud service, or handling sensitive data like payments, proper authorization ensures that only verified entities can access the API.

Took me years to finally get a Roomba (those robot vacuums from iRobot that have been around since 2002). I was pretty skeptical about how well it would clean and how smart and autonomous it really was. My wife was on board on the benefits from the start, but I needed some convincing. After plenty of back-and-forth (and my wife’s persistence), we went for it. Honestly, the benefits weren’t obvious to me from the start.

I'm pretty fast on my laptop keyboard, usually typing around 60 words per minute, sometimes even more, thanks to my mom. She signed me up for a typing course when I was 12 because she thought it would be useful for my career someday, years before I could get my hands on a real computer. It turns out she was right, and it's still a handy skill today. When I graduated from the typing course, my mom gifted me an Olivetti typewriter. It was amazing at the time!

Automation testing is no longer a "nice-to-have" skill in the modern software development lifecycle (SDLC)—it’s essential. However, for many aspiring automation testers, the path to mastering these skills can seem overwhelming. We tapped into our community of 90,000+ testers to uncover what are the essential skills every test automation tester should have. Here's what they revealed, and we're excited to pass it on to you!

Test automation is awesome. No doubt about that. However, sometimes test scripts just…fail, and it’s quite frustrating. What makes test automation fail in the first place? Knowing these root causes, we can easily develop best practices to make them run smoother and faster.

Here’s an easy-to-understand and straight-to-the-point guide to scroll down in Selenium. Let’s try this test case: Scroll to a section on a Wikipedia page and screenshot. We have the following test steps: You can customize the element according to your needs.

The first step is often the hardest, and in software testing, this is especially true. When presented with a system, how do you go about and decide what to test? Standing in the middle of the unknown, we need guidance, and learning about test case design techniques is a good place to start. In this article, we’ll show you: Let’s dive in!

The end goal of the Testing Center of Excellence (TCOE) is to drive the shift from fragmented, project-based QA efforts to a unified governance structure. It was a pre-Agile innovation to bring testing from the “background” to the center of the SDLC. The arrival of Agile renders the traditional TCoEs obsolete.
