So you’re already convinced that automated testing can transform the software development lifecycle and help produce higher-quality products. But convincing management it’s a worthwhile investment? Especially if they're hesitant to add technology they don’t understand to a tight budget? That's a different story. We've got you. Here are 10 rock-solid reasons why your organization needs a budget for automated testing.

Developing a Quality Strategy

Over the course of my career in testing and quality, I have seen many different quality strategies. All of them have been narrowly focused on testing, with perhaps a sprinkle of DevOps tossed in. I started to wonder why this is, and when I dove a bit deeper I realized that all of them were written by testers. It’s a truism in the industry that you can’t test quality into a product. Why is it then that all of our quality strategies revolve around testing or development methodologies?

Key Differences Between Black Box And White Box Testing

Accentuating both quality and security while developing applications is the need of the hour. It helps ensure your application is free from all possible flaws and security loopholes that might lead to significant revenue losses. Testers all across the globe rely on both black box and white box testing to identify and remove all the critical errors before releasing the final product. In this article, I’ll go into detail about Black Box vs.

9 Best Defect Tracking Tools in 2022

Bug tracking is one of the most critical stages in the software development lifecycle. It is crucial for software organizations to be able to capture, attract, and resolve bugs throughout the entire development process to release bug-free software. With software quality being the top priority for IT organizations, using defect tracking tools has become the new norm. So in this article, we will discuss the 9 best defect management tools in detail and how they stack up against each other.

Distributed load testing using Kubernetes with k6 (k6 Office Hours #72)

We demonstrate how to run distributed load testing using Kubernetes with k6 and k6 operator. k6 can already run up to 40,000 virtual users from a single load generator, but if you want to scale that up further, you can use the Kubernetes operator to create a k6 custom resource within your cluster.

Best Software Testing Tools QAs Are Using In 2022

When a project is sent to the testing team, the work starts for inspection of its quality before shipping it to the end user. As a responsible team, testers always want the number of bugs to be the bare minimum, with no complaints during the release.

A Comprehensive Guide to Automation Testing & its Types

Automation testing is a technique in which testers leverage automated software tools for executing test cases. These tests typically include operations that are repetitive in both their nature and outcome. Automating the test suite helps in saving time and effort required in performing repetitive and resource-heavy tasks that are difficult to perform manually. In this blog post, let’s explore the advantages, types, and frameworks of Automation testing.

Optimizing Your Kubernetes Load Testing with Speedscale

One of the major factors that come into play when deciding on a load testing tool is whether it can perform as you expect it to. There are many ways to measure how well a load testing tool performs, with the amount of requests per second undoubtedly being one of the main ways. Speedscale creates load tests from recorded traffic, so generating load is at the core of the tool.
