Building Reliable Systems in an Unpredictable World

Can engineers ever guarantee that nothing will break? @Saurabh Shanbhag explains why unexpected failures are always possible in today’s interconnected tech world. The key is to control what you can and collaborate to build resilient systems. Here’s how to approach it: Watch this episode of Test Case Scenario to learn more about building reliable systems.

Top DevOps Tools You Need to Streamline Your Workflow in 2024

There is a sense of growing maturity in the DevOps market that is also reflected by its evolving tools. For the past some time, I’ve also seen these tools expanding beyond the limited utilities of continuous integration and continuous delivery. They are now seeping into database management, QA automation, and even AI integration in the SDLC. However, I see no deviation in their efficiency that enables teams to transition smoothly from ITOps to DevOps.

Testing Center of Excellence (TCOE): A Brief History, and How It Can Be Modernized

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.

AI in UX design - Vital AI Impacts & Enhanced Features

Did you know that the AI market size is likely to reach USD 826.73 billion dollars by 2030? Yes, you read it right! The use of artificial intelligence can be seen in every field. AI in UX design is bringing about a revolution in the way users interact with technology. Traditionally, UX design relied on designer intuition, manual processes, and labor-intensive user testing. No doubt, the conventional approach had a positive impact on the user experience.

Kubernetes Load Testing: How JMeter and Speedscale Compare

At some point, your development team may be considering implementing load testing (also known as stress testing) as part of your software testing process. Load testing validates that your web app is able to withstand a large number of simultaneous users, decreasing the chance that any traffic spikes will bring down your services once deployed. These stress tests can be highly granular, giving you the opportunity to test run virtually unlimited strategies before they are set into the wild.

Simplifying AWS Testing: A Guide to AWS SDK Mock

Testing AWS services is an essential step in creating robust cloud applications. However, directly interacting with AWS during testing can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. The AWS SDK Mock is a JavaScript library designed to simplify this process by allowing developers to mock AWS SDK methods, making it easier to simulate AWS service interactions in a controlled environment. Primarily used with AWS SDK v2, AWS SDK Mock integrates with Sinon.js to mock AWS services like S3, SNS, and DynamoDB.

Ways to Use Mock Services in Software Development

Mocking APIs is a popular practice in software development. An increasing number of developers are reaping the benefits and no longer using their valuable time to spin up duplicate resources. Many mock services do not require account creation, making them easy to use and privacy-friendly. In the rest of this article, we explain what mock APIs are, when you should think about using them, and what solutions are available within the open-source and proprietary markets.
