Functional testing is a type of software testing that validates web or mobile applications against pre-determined specifications and requirements. The goal is to ensure that the software performs as expected by both developers and end-users. Functional testers aim to emulate real-world scenarios and user pathways, testing not only for functionality but also for non-functionality, such as how the app behaves in airplane mode or when a video buffers.

This series explores and compares the Jenkinsfile and Bitrise YAML, the scripting languages for Jenkins and Bitrise CI/CD pipelines, focusing on their unique approaches to automation in app development, starting with mobile.

In this blog, we will demonstrate how to get the code coverage data for each incoming request on a python web server built using any web framework.

The ever-growing tide of data, fueled by analytics and AI, places a significant strain on data center resources and increases energy consumption. With more stakeholder scrutiny and evolving regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and U.S. regulations on the horizon, organizations are taking notice now more than ever before.

However, teams must also ensure that new features and capabilities that will propel the company's business to the next level are also properly tested and ready to be put in the hands of the end users.

Releasing software is often a sequence of repetitive activities, including critical quality gates to assure the right version, configuration, and scope are deployable and releasable. In those critical moments, we want our release quality and risks to be predictable against expected outcomes and behaviors – we want to mitigate any potential risks associated with new changes.

Test automation plays a bigger role in achieving cybersecurity than you might think. Senior QA Director Karen Laiacona-Frazier shares tangible advice to add to your security arsenal for safeguarding your daily workflow.
