The best time to load test your website is when you are in the development phase. This will allow you to identify potential issues before the application is released to the public.

Recent months were very busy for our team and some exciting new releases are coming soon. Meanwhile, in this post, we’re sharing updates to Loadero that took place in November 2022. There are some updates to our API, to the way Loadero works with test run artifacts in the results reports, new browser versions, and the Loadero Python client that we were developing for quite a long time and finally are happy to offer to our users along with examples of using it for storing test data in Github.

Just in time for the holidays, we have a platform release with some new features and updates.

A software development life cycle has expanded with multiple additions in the past years. As the complexities of the software have grown, so has the method of developing, testing, and releasing it to the end-users. Starting with automating testing and then moving on to development, a need to automate the process between these two helped speed things up faster and do a lot of the heavy stuff automatically.

DevOps is a practice where the development and operations teams come together to work. This helps them to scale and accelerate the delivery of a product. These teams use the best DevOps platforms and tools to implement DevOps practices. Such platforms and tools help them to adopt automation, infrastructure as a code, continuous integration, and testing to achieve remarkable results.

There’s no successful dev cycle without ensuring functionality, and QA has been integral to functional testing since the dawn of software. Traditionally, functional testing meant human testers running smoke and regression tests, but wielding automated functional testing can help teams keep up with the competition and bring QA into a modern CI/CD pipeline.

In today’s world, mobile applications are essential for any business to thrive, and almost all developed products offer web and mobile support. This has made mobile application testing an integral part of the QA life cycle, and adding to it. The onus is on the test automation engineers to develop an E2E automation suite for mobile application testing. In this blog, I will explain how test automation engineers can start using Appium to automate mobile applications developed using Flutter.

When testing debuted in the software development world, it was quickly relegated to a position at the end of the long and expensive waterfall cycle. This afterthought status belied the importance of testing in the software development life cycle, and it was also risky. If things went awry in the testing stage, everything could fall apart, resulting in delivery delays and costly, labor-intensive repairs.

We've been thinking long and hard about software testing and automation here at Katalon. We've noticed a shift in the Software Testing industry from Test Automation to Autonomous Software Testing (AUST). By "autonomous," we mean software testing that is completely driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), without any human intervention.

Digital aspirations for global organizations are driving innovation-led initiatives. As Agility and Flexibility within the development life cycle become the norm, it is essential to re-emphasize the need for not just delivering fast, but also delivering quality and value at speed. By putting customers at the center of the value chain, organizations are aiming to streamline their value delivery systems.
