Is there a better alternative to Selenium?

For almost two decades, Selenium has been the go-to framework for automated software testing. We have successfully developed that Selenium is a collection of technologies for automating browsers on many platforms. Selenium tools are used to automate web app testing, despite the fact that they are capable of much more. The logic for Selenium's test scripts may be written in a variety of languages, including Java, Ruby, Perl, PHP, and Python.

Reduce Flakiness in Mobile Native App Automation Using Katalon and Service Virtualization

The milieu of mobile applications is intensifying across all business sectors in the world we currently live in. It is because of these users; the world is seeing high usage of mobiles to the tune of billions of transactions. Organizations are prepared to take whatever measures are necessary and develop apps that are adored by their potential users to tap into these mobile users and turn them into a loyal customer base.

Why & How to Invest in Software Quality

Most people have encountered frustrating software errors. While the Windows "blue screen of death" was a necessary evil in the 1990s, customers have much more choice in today's software-as-a-service market. A single error or broken workflow is often enough for a would-be customer to switch over to a competitor. Of course, many software businesses mitigate these risks through testing and quality assurance.

How to Use DataProvider in TestNG for Automated Testing (With Examples)

Learn the fundamentals of DataProvider and how it can be used in TestNG for automated testing. As the volume of applications increases, software testing teams find themselves overburdened with a “combinatorial explosion” of permutations for their test cases. In the early days, we hard-coded our test cases with the most important workflows, and we wrote bespoke automation scripts, each one to handle its own particular use case.

API Contract Testing For A Design-First World

Today, API-driven microservices applications are a source of speed to innovation and competitive advantage – according to SmartBear’s most recent State of Software Quality – API report: However, this modern way of architecting software doesn’t come without challenges. Neglecting to adapt a new approach to service architecture design with a new approach to the underpinnings – API design and testing – can undermine the efforts.

How Big is the Global Accessibility Testing Market and How Fast is it Growing?

Accessibility testing makes weband mobile applications usable by the broadest possible audience. It makes applications accessible to individuals with vision, hearing, and other physical or cognitive conditions. Globally, corporations are concentrating on enhancing customer engagement and retention to maintain market competition. Customers for accessibility testing include individuals with disabilities, who must be considered when conducting business.

End To End Testing vs Regression Testing: A Comprehensive Comparison

End-to-end testing is a type of software testing that checks the system as a whole from start to finish. Regression testing is software testing that checks for errors after changes have been made to the code. Both are important for the software development process. However, they are two different types of tests that serve different purposes.

Acceptance Testing vs System Testing: Why do we need them?

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has multiple stages, which include some testing phases. System testing and acceptance testing are integral parts of the overall testing lifecycle. In system testing, we test the system as a whole. We integrate all the modules and components and verify if the system meets the expectations or not. Once we have successfully tested the system, the entire application can be handed over to the users to check for its acceptability.
