Black Friday is when eCommerce sites face their toughest critics: deal-hunting shoppers with zero patience for glitches. Were you aware that 47 of visitors anticipate a website to finish loading within 2 seconds? Even more concerning, half of the visitors will leave a sluggish website and switch to a competitor. One crash during busy times can lead to significant financial loss and permanent harm to your brand's image.

Over the past month, our primary focus has been on fixing bugs (you can check our Wiki for details on those), however, we do also have some new functionality to offer - the ability to apply labels not just to tests, but to test runs as well, as well as some other improvements.

Today’s software testing trends show the growing demand for more efficient and automated API testing. Manual testing is not only time-intensive for internal testing teams, it can also lead to poor customer experiences. When manual testing processes cannot proactively discover issues, your customers may inevitably be the ones finding them. Many of the current test automation solutions today focus on the UI, while most API-level testing is still done manually.

When writing test automation scripts in Selenium Python, verifying that the actual outcomes match the expected results is crucial. This is where assertions come into play. Assertions help ensure that your application is working as intended by checking specific conditions and halting execution if they fail. In this blog, we’ll break down the concept of assertions in Selenium Python, provide some easy-to-follow code examples, and explain how they can make your test scripts more robust.

Payment testing is undeniably challenging. Companies invest heavily in verifying end-to-end transaction success, but even the most skilled internal teams and sophisticated lab environments have their limits.

Web-based applications continue to be part of the modern connected experience, whether for banking, entertainment, health, or others.

Unit tests are essential for increasing the test coverage of a backend application, ensuring its reliability, functionality, and robustness. Jest has become one of the most popular solutions when unit testing in Node, due to its intuitive API, zero-configuration philosophy, and flexible approach to code transpilation. In this guide, you will learn more about Jest, explore its features, and see it in action through a complete example. Become a Jest unit testing expert!

One of the most important aspects of a product is the ability to showcase its functionality. In the API space, it’s very important for a product to not just claim something, but to show that utility and use. One of the best ways to do this is through the use of a demo environment. A demo environment is a perfect method to surface a specific use case or example for users, showcasing functionality that is often tailored to a specific interest group.
