Why Testing Needs to Change and What Comes Next

Testing is hitting its limits in speed, scale, and insight. AI-augmented and agentic systems can help but only if we adopt them intentionally. This blog series lays out a Crawl–Walk–Run maturity path for adopting agentic testing capabilities safely and strategically. We’ll show you how to move from assistive agents to coordinated systems without losing control or trust.

Locators in Selenium: Types and Examples

Every action you automate in Selenium starts with one thing: finding the right web element. That’s where locators come in. They guide Selenium to the exact button, input field, or text box it needs to interact with. Locators in Selenium are essential. Without them, you can't click a button, fill out a form, or verify if a message appears on the screen. They're the foundation of every test case you write. In this article, we’ll walk you through: Let’s get started!

Test Reporting And Analytics: From Raw Data To Strategic Advantage

These days, in the quickly evolving world of software, just executing automated testing is not sufficient. Real quality only results from what follows results analysis, pattern tracking, and insights from failure.Test reporting and analytics come into their own here. By converting raw test data into valuable insights, teams can catch flaky tests, pinpoint common problems, and make better decisions more quickly.

What are the trade-offs between using open-source tools and a commercial solution?

Open source brings real power, but its goals may not match your organization. Look at community health, whether it fits your use case, and how you will handle support, updates, and patches. Consider the integrations your stack requires. Weigh these against a commercial platform that offers formal support, a roadmap, and hosted infrastructure to reduce your maintenance burden. — Coty Rosenblath, CTO at Katalon.

Looking Back, Looking Ahead: Thoughts on My First Year at Speedscale

When I started at Speedscale, I looked like this: And after one year of learning, growing, and keeping pace with innovation well, let’s just say the journey has left its mark: Of course, I’m joking (sort of). The truth is, this past year has been intense, energizing, and filled with new challenges. If anything, it’s made me feel younger in spirit, even if the mirror might disagree some mornings.

Introduction To Database Testing

Databases are the spine of most any app we use today, from a banking app to an online shopping site. Good application is hidden under cover of the user interface, in the basement, in the room where the data is stored, processed and fetched. Database testing is vital for that very reason. It makes data accurate, secure and trustworthy, which in turn keeps apps stable and businesses running smoothly.

Find Elements in Selenium with Python: A Complete Guide

When you write a Selenium test, every interaction depends on one crucial step: identifying the right element. Whether it's a button, input field, dropdown, or link, Selenium must find it before it can click, type, or select. This is where element locators come in. These strategies help your Python scripts pinpoint specific pieces of the page, just like a user would. In this guide, you'll learn exactly how to find element in Selenium with Python confidently and consistently.

Why AI-native Testing Redefines Quality

The AI mandate is real. Boards and executives are demanding that software organizations move faster, embrace AI, and deliver without breaking trust. Development velocity is accelerating at machine speed, but testing has not kept up. The question every QA leader faces today is simple: will quality keep pace, or will it become the bottleneck? This is where the shift from automation to AI-native testing comes in.
