A Complete Guide to Testing as a Service

Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS) is rapidly gaining popularity growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% from 2024 to 2030. Organizations adopting TaaS report up to 30% cost savings compared to traditional in-house testing. Testlio October 5th, 2024 Discover Outsourced Testing Best Practices Engineers and product managers face the challenge of balancing speed, quality, and cost in software testing as technology continues to evolve rapidly.

Stop Using TCP Health Checks for Kubernetes Applications

As developers, one of the most important things we can consider when designing and building applications is the ability to know if our application is running in an ideal operating condition, or said another way: the ability to know whether or not your application is healthy. This is particularly important when deploying your application to Kubernetes. Kubernetes has the concept of container probes that, when used, can help ensure the health and availability of your application.

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.

How to Calculate TPS in Performance Testing: A Kubernetes Guide

Transactions-per-Second (TPS) is a valuable metric for evaluating system performance and is particularly relevant for engineers overseeing Kubernetes environments.TPS, alongside average response time, provides critical insights into system performance during load testing. This post covers two approaches to calculating TPS; a manual approach applicable in all environments, and an automatic Kubernetes-specific solution using production traffic replication.

The True Cost of Accessibility Education in Tech

Building accessible products isn’t just about compliance—it’s about education. @AmyJuneHineline explains how the biggest challenge for companies is teaching teams to prioritize accessibility from the start. It’s not just about following guidelines; it’s about making accessibility part of your development culture through proper training and clear standards. Invest in education now to ensure your teams are prepared for the future of accessibility.

Understanding Behavior Driven Development Testing

In traditional software development, communication gaps between business stakeholders and technical teams often lead to misunderstandings about requirements. This can result in software that doesn’t meet user needs or business goals. Testlio October 4th, 2024 Discover The Differences Between TDD and BDD Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing addresses these issues by using simple language for test cases, making them understandable even to non-technical stakeholders.

The 2024 Software Performance Testing Guide

Software performance testing has become critical for software owners and developers today. Testlio October 4th, 2024 Studies show that a one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by 7%. This highlights the importance of knowing what performance testing is in software testing. Performance testing is essential to ensure your software can handle real-world usage, from managing traffic spikes to efficiently using resources.

What is Customer Experience Testing & How to Excel At It?

Unsurprisingly, consumers base their purchase decisions on customer experience. Despite 73% of consumers placing a high value on customer experience, only 49% believe companies meet their expectations. Testlio October 4th, 2024 Businesses that integrate customer experience into the software development life cycle have shown better customer retention and satisfaction rates. There is a direct correlation between product quality and customer satisfaction.
