The Manual Testing Guide: What It Is, Use Cases, and How-To's

In software development, manual testing is key to ensuring quality and user satisfaction. This guide covers the basics of manual testing, its types, and how to perform it effectively. Studies show that 41% of software bugs are found through manual testing. In this article, we’ll explore different types of manual testing, such as exploratory, usability, and regression testing. We’ll also compare manual testing with automated testing.

Ssl Problem "Unable To Get Local Issuer Certificate"

CSS Selector Cheat Sheet: Smart Tips for Browser Automation Testing

I love this quote, though I’m not quite sure if “Jan Houtema” is a real person. It may be a Paul Graham pseudonym… But in any case, yes, change breaks brittle things and one of the challenges of automated browser testing is to mitigate that effect as much as possible while you design tests for an ever-changing application.

Human-Centric Exploratory Testing

Unlike traditional testing methodologies - that rely heavily on pre-scripted tests and automated tools - Human-Centric Exploratory Testing (HCET) is a dynamic and flexible approach that leverages creativity and critical thinking, allowing interaction with the software in ways that automation simply cannot replicate. Below, we explore Human-Centric Exploratory Testing, its benefits, challenges, how to mitigate them, and the best practices for successfully implementing it.

What Are Quality Gates?

Quality gates are just what they sound like: They ensure the delivery of high-quality software by serving as quality milestones (or “gates”) during various stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), preventing bad code from passing through. Here, we explain what are quality gates, how they work, and how to implement them using static analysis. Read along or jump ahead to the section that interests you most: Manage Your ci/cd pipeline with Static Analysis.

Understanding the difference between Virtual Users and Requests Per Second (RPS)

Hey there! If you’ve ever been curious about performance testing, you’ve probably come across the terms “Virtual Users” and “Requests Per Second (RPS)”. They might sound a bit technical, but they’re super important for ensuring your website or application runs smoothly, especially under heavy traffic. In this article, we’re going to break down what these terms mean, how they differ, and why they’re essential.
