Improving Playwright Test Coverage: Best Practices + Strategies

Here's what I've learned after working with hundreds of QA teams: the bugs that hurt most aren't the obvious ones. They're the edge cases we once deemed "unlikely." When it comes to test coverage, these overlooked scenarios often become your biggest headaches. I see it constantly: teams with impressive coverage metrics still miss critical scenarios. Like when a major retailer's checkout system failed because nobody tested what happens when a discount code expires mid-transaction during Black Friday!

Api Security Testing 101: Protecting Your Data From Vulnerabilities

Data is vital to everything we do in the modern world. When it comes to data, we cannot ignore APIs. They act as the internet’s functional backbone, helping in the smooth transfer of data between servers, apps, and devices. APIs must be protected from risks and vulnerabilities because they are used at every step. This is where security testing for APIs comes in.

Test Observability Explained for Engineering Leads

Last quarter, something remarkable happened that reminded me why I love working in software testing. I was consulting with a major retail client preparing for their Memorial Day sale, traditionally their second-biggest revenue event of the year. We had just implemented test observability across their entire suite of 3,000+ automated tests. And instead of frantic debugging sessions and emergency war rooms, I watched our dashboards reveal insights in real time.

AI in exploratory testing: from hype to practice

AI is more than just a buzzword now - it's becoming an integral part of various processes, including software testing. But how effective is it really, especially when applied to the dynamic nature of Exploratory Testing? In this webinar, Sérgio Freire stated that he recently experimented with leveraging AI in his own Exploratory Testing sessions and discovered both promising applications and significant limitations.

What Is Component Testing?

Constructing software is like creating a house. You certainly wouldn’t want to build your home with any brittle or cracked bricks, right? Similarly, your “bricks” are your code components. By testing each of them individually, you can detect defects sooner rather than later, and there’s less chance of everything collapsing during assembly. And this is where component testing comes in!
