Frontend vs. backend performance testing

Which should you do: frontend vs. backend performance testing? The short answer is both. Each has its pros and cons, but hybrid load testing combines them and gives you the most holistic view of performance, including frontend concerns like how quickly a page renders or perceived application performance as well as backend concerns like response times of individual components.

APIs have become the center of software development, connecting and transferring data across systems and applications. Luckily, testing them can greatly improve the efficiency of your test strategy as a whole, helping you deliver software faster than ever.

What is localization testing? Definition, How-to, and Use Cases

A quick internet search provides examples of marketing, brand, and UX issues when localization testing is treated as an afterthought. Clairol marketed a curling iron as a “mist stick,” even though mist is slang for manure in German.

What Is Integration Testing And Its Types?

Integration Testing (or I&T: Integration & Testing) is a type of software testing in which various units, modules, and components of the software are integrated and tested as a cohesive unit. With Integration Testing, testers want to find defects that surface due to code conflicts between software components when they work together. This level of testing is higher than unit testing, which only validates if software components function well as a single unit.

Testing Kubernetes Ingress with Production Traffic

Testing Kubernetes Ingress resources can be tricky, and can lead to frustration when bugs pop up in production that weren’t caught during testing. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but with Ingress specifically, it often has to do with a misalignment between the data used in testing and the traffic generated in production. Tools like Postman can be a great way of generating traffic, but they have the drawback of being manually created.
