In the last decade or so, data has become the most valuable resource in the world. The influence of data has become so prominent in our society and industry that experts have now coined the term “data economy” to emphasize it. Undoubtedly, data has also made a huge impact on how the software industry and businesses operate.

In this third and final part, you’ll get to see a few examples that aren’t strictly related to configuration changes or new tools, but rather ways that traffic replay can help streamline the development process for those deploying in Kubernetes.

Test web apps and websites on the latest Windows desktop infrastructure for a faster, more efficient, and more reliable cross-browser testing experience. At Sauce Labs, we're dedicated to providing our customers with best-in-class device performance and system reliability.

There are many scenarios where we want Selenium to connect to and use an existing browser that was previously opened manually or by some other program.

Log4j is a popular logging framework used for Java-based applications. We can use Log4j in Selenium to provide logging functionality and help in debugging the test scripts. By using Log4j, you can log messages at different levels (e.g. Debug, Info, Warn, Error, Fatal) and output them to various appenders (e.g. Console, File, Database). Integrating Log4j in Selenium can greatly enhance the debugging experience and improve the efficiency of the testing process.

By overcoming the established engineering disciplines and tackling each engineering issue, Digital Engineering intends to speed up the development of complex products, systems, and sub-systems. System engineering approaches applied to complex products like jet planes, spacecraft, navigation systems, and others slow down progress for several reasons. Digital Engineering changed that system process into a more fluid, consistent, and workable approach for complex systems.

Grafana Faro and xk6-browser are both new tools within the Grafana Labs open source ecosystem, but the pairing is already showing a lot of potential in terms of frontend monitoring and performance testing. Faro, which was announced last November, includes a highly configurable SDK that instruments web apps to capture observability signals that can then be correlated with backend and infrastructure data.

The tech industry is grappling with the painful reality of widespread layoffs, including within QA teams. Typically, after a round of layoffs, companies spend some time readjusting. There’s a quiet period where projects, external partnerships, hiring, and specific initiatives are on hold. Then… boom. A rapid shift to outsourced, crowdsourced, and third-party coverage to cover the gaps left in QA staffing teams.
