Autonomous Testing: A Complete Guide

Autonomous testing is an emerging testing practice in which tests are completely created, driven, and managed by AI/ML, eliminating the need for human intervention. Essentially, autonomous testing is a higher level of automation for automation testing. This is a recent shift in the testing industry as AI technologies evolve to be more advanced, opening a promising era of human-machine integration testing.

API testing basics for beginners

API (Application Programming Interface) is the building block of software applications. More often than not, APIs are used to access data, facilitate interaction between multiple applications, enable communication between Microservices, etc. While a good deal of software testers perceive working with API as a frightening experience, in reality, APIs are the simplest and most non-complicated way of dealing with applications.

How exploratory testing tools benefit QA teams

Exploratory testing is a successful method for locating undiscovered defects in software. However, many companies request that testers use scripted test cases based on predetermined product requirements rather than exploratory testing. Although scripted test cases help find faults in a product's code, exploratory tests assist the QA team in finding difficult-to-predict problems within the features of the finished product.

Is there a way for software test engineers to manage stress in this culture of hustle?

Hey there, everyone. How are you all doing? I noticed the reply. Hmm. As a result, you claim that your situation is good. Do you actually feel good? Are you getting adequate rest? Having a healthy diet? Do you maintain a clear boundary between your personal and professional lives? When was the last time a production flaw occurred? When did you last snooze like a baby? When did you last take a trip? When did you last speak with your childhood friend? I apologize for asking so many questions.

From open source to Katalon | Streamline your test automation journey

Quality confidence in the functionality of an application alone is no longer sufficient to deliver a top-notch digital experience. Customers today constantly want more, and they want it fast. Test automation is adopted to keep up with users' tendency to be less tolerant of defects and expect quick updates and fixes at the same time. Currently, in the automated testing tool market, open source frameworks and solutions are commonly opted for due to their flexibility and free cost of entry.
