Ready for your monthly debrief? We've got Appium 2.0 on virtual devices, error and crash reporting on real devices, and much more exciting news to share.

Following is a transcription of the AMA session with Rahul Parwal on the topic – Bug Advocacy. Here Rahul brings forth the importance of bug advocacy, its step-by-step implementation, and tips on making this process easier. We recently launched a course on Bug Advocacy instructed by Rahul Parwal. You can check the course out from our courses section.

Model-based test automation and record and playback — have you heard these buzz phrases before in the world of software testing? They’re two similar approaches to testing, yet they’re vastly different in their execution. But what exactly is the difference between these two techniques and why does it matter?

Visual regression testing is a type of regression testing to ensure that no changes to the program adversely affect the Graphical User Interface (GUI). It is also referred to as visual validation testing. Instead of focusing on the functionality of the software, it aims to validate the software’s aesthetic side. Visual regression testing verifies that all visual elements are displayed properly across all available browsers, devices, and platforms.

If you don't understand how an API works, you can't get the best out of it. That's one problem. The other is that they keep increasing in number, but the quality of the documentation for each of them doesn't. Lack of clear, quality documentation leads to more difficulty for developers, and with more difficulty comes less chance they integrate the API. Which could also be your API. That's where API exploration tools like SwaggerHub Explore come in handy to make this all way simpler.

According to recent reports, the demand for automated software testing is continuously increasing. As a result, organizations are constantly seeking reliable and efficient test automation frameworks to save time and money. When many choices are available in the market, choosing the right one according to the testing needs would be the real challenge.

Load testing is a big category, and how do you even start preparing for it? This post covers it all from planning to implementation.

As the software development industry continues to evolve and become increasingly complex, organizations must find new ways to streamline their testing processes. Low-code test automation comes into play here. These platforms provide an efficient and cost-effective solution to test automation, empowering engineering teams to create and execute test scripts without extensive programming knowledge.

An application has different Web Elements like buttons, text boxes, checkboxes, menus, sliders, and more. While testing using Selenium, you can simulate certain scenarios by automating low-level interactions with the WebElement(s) in the DOM, such as keypresses and mouse button operations (such as click, double click, and right-click). One such action is Mouse hover over a web element. Moving the cursor over an element in a graphical user interface (GUI) without clicking is called hovering.
