In the ever-evolving digital world, the security of web applications has never been more critical. At Starwest 2024 conference, this interesting topic took center stage, highlighted by Tom Stiehm, the CTO of Coveros, during his insightful session, "Web Security Testing: The Basics and More" Stiehm highlighted reality: as businesses increasingly rely on web applications to access sensitive information, protecting these systems has become a primary aspect of software testing.

For years, the traditional approach to automating tests relied heavily on scripted automation frameworks like Selenium, JUnit, and TestNG. While these tools are powerful and adaptable, they require a significant level of technical expertise. Testers need to write, debug, and maintain complex scripts, often leading to bottlenecks in the development process. Relying only on coded solutions limits test automation to a small portion of the team that has deep coding skills.

As part of gaining deeper insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of microservices testing and QA, I had the privilege of attending the Starwest 2024 conference, where one of the highlights was the insightful session led by Tariq King, CEO and Head of Test IO. His session on Full-Stack Testing for Microservices Architectures highlighted the growing leverage of microservices in modern applications and their seamless alignment with Agile and DevOps practices.

In today’s complex technology landscape, enterprises face the challenge of selecting the right vendors for their business needs. With so many options available, decision-makers often turn to industry analysts for guidance, and the vendor evaluation reports these analysts to write. These reports are highly regarded tools that categorize and evaluate vendors based on various criteria. But should enterprises rely solely on vendors positioned in these reports?

Go, often referred to as Golang, is a popular programming language built by Google. Its design and structure help you write efficient, reliable, and high-performing programs. Often used for web servers and rest APIs, Go offers the same performance as other low-level languages like C++ while also making sure the language itself is easy to understand with a good development experience.

The exploratory tester's role goes beyond finding bugs. It involves understanding user behavior, improving software quality, gathering feedback, and refining testing strategies. As an exploratory testing expert, you are an investigator who understands the software, uses creativity and intuition to guide the session, and discovers new ways to uncover hidden issues.
