Guide to Selenium IDE: Advantages, Components, and Features

As more organizations adopt the agile methodology, the demand for automation also increases. As the agile focus on timely faster delivery, manual testing may increase the delivery time. One of the main disadvantages of manual testing is that performing the regression takes more time and involves more resources and costs. There are many automation tools in the market, such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, WebdriverIO, etc. Selenium is the most popular and most used tool in the market.

Component Testing vs Unit Testing: Top Differences, Types, and Examples

Testing is a crucial part of every Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). It takes center stage in CI/CD pipeline, allowing developers to release reliable, resilient, and safe software. Multiple testing types exist, such as End-to-End testing, Unit testing, Integration testing, Dynamic testing, and more. And among all these different types, two important ones, Component and Unit testing, emerge in the initial phase of SDLC. As they are closely related, developers need to understand their differences.

Playwright vs Selenium: Which one should you choose?

The agile development methodology focuses on the rapid and speedy delivery of the software in a phased manner. The agile methodology recommends testing should be on a sprint basis. Rather than testing the entire application in one go, the tester should focus more on testing the individual components than the entire system. Manual testing is time-consuming; the same test cases need to be tested multiple times as part of the testing strategy.

A Complete Guide to Browser Sandbox and its Architecture

Sandboxing is a vast concept used in a variety of domains, from children’s toys to computer security. This term originates from creating a box of sand for children who do not go along together very well. By this method, they create a boundary or their own space in which they can play and not interfere with one another.

How to organize testing scripts in k6 (k6 Office Hours #76)

In this video, we talk about how to organize testing scripts in k6 using features like tags, groups, and functions depending on what type of testing you want to do with your test script. Developer Advocates Paul Balogh, Marie Cruz, and Nicole van der Hoeven show us a few examples of how they would organize and modularize scripts in a test suite.

Importance of Human in the Loop (HITL) in the Data Annotation Process

Contrary to what we see in the movies, artificial intelligence (AI) today is not capable of doing and learning everything on its own. It greatly and principally depends on the feedback that it gets from people. “Human in the Loop” (HITL) refers to the role of human feedback in the AI training process. Before getting into the concept of humans in the loop, let us understand the need for accurately annotated data and get the annotated data at speed.

As a QA Manager, there’s a constant need for you to keep evolving and ensure that your testing strategy helps the company succeed. Here’s how you can plan your testing strategy in 2023 to ensure you hit your quality goals.

Visual Regression Testing: Everything You Need to Know in 2023

Regression testing ensures changes to the source code are not causing unexpected issues to the existing system or to see if software functionality has regressed. Visual regression tests focus on how the user will receive the final interface that the user interacts with is essential and ultimately paramount to how web pages are displayed.

Calculating ROI on Test Automation: How to do it And What You Need

Testing is a crucial stage in producing software and technology devices. It is performed before release to ensure that the product works exactly as intended, is free of bugs, and has no vulnerabilities. While you can perform testing manually, there is a growing tendency to automate the process. Embracing automation in testing can be a great way to save time and manage business expenses related to product development and QA operations.
