Angular: @ViewChild() and @ContentChildren() decorators

With the release of OctoPerf’s new UI we wanted to create a component that would allow our users to easily edit HTTP request actions. The new UI being heavily inspired by IDEs such as Eclipse or Visual Studio we decided to create a component that behaves likes the project settings panel of IntelliJ: IntelliJ Settings This panel displays a tree on its left part with a search input on top. The content of the left part changes depending on the current selection.

Artificial Intelligence in Test Automation

When you hear “Artificial Intelligence,” (AI) what do you think of? You might picture advanced humanoid robots or futuristic technology from sci-fi movies. But as it turns out, this “futuristic” technology is already integrated into our lives. It exists in our phones, televisions, and homes to make everyday tasks simpler. When it comes to software testing, AI can be implemented into your testing initiatives to increase efficiency.

Rendezvous with k6

Rendezvous is a French word commonly used in the load testing word. It sounds so fancy! I believe Mercury first coined and implemented it (I may be wrong) in LoadRunner. NeoLoad has it with the same name, and JMeter calls it Synchronizing timer. But what is it really, and how may we use it? Rendezvous is a function that stops the virtual users when they reach that instruction in the script. The function makes them wait until more virtual users get to that step or a timer runs out.

BivwAk! - Case study

BivwAk! is the transformation hub for BNP Paribas. Its goal is to bring new services and skillsets at the crossroad of all BNP Paribas entities. It’s in this context that Dino learned about OctoPerf. Dino Dona is the QA lead at BivwAk! He handles all the testing-related activities. Dino is very passionate about testing because it's a constantly evolving space. With new methodologies and tools emerging all the time. We met Dino at the french testing event JFTL.

What Is "Test Efficacy" and Why Is It Important in Visual Testing?

Humans are visual, both on and off-screen. Research shows that 94% of online visitors will form their first opinion on your business based on the design of your website. For e-commerce, 88% of shoppers are less likely to return to a website that gave them an unpleasant experience. These two simple statistics highlight how detrimental it can be to have an inconsistent product UI/UX out in the market.

The Need and Impact of Digital Banking Units

Banks are free to adopt an in-sourced or out-sourced model for operations of the digital banking segment, including DBUs. This gives the banks an opportunity to experiment with disruptive technologies in the cloud, one thing at a time. With so many innovations happening out there by fintech’s, banks do not have to bother about getting them to work with their core banking system, picking up best-of-breed solutions available on the cloud. The solutions tried and tested can then be added to the bank’s core banking system, says Vishnu Vardhan Vankayala, Associate Principal Consultant, Cigniti Technologies.

The Need and Impact of Digital Banking Units

Digital banking involves the digitization of all traditional banking products, processes, and activities to serve customers through online channels. Banking that is done through the digital platform without any paperwork like account opening forms, cheques, pay-in slips, and so on is referred to as digital banking. It relies on high-level process automation, web-based services, and APIs to provide banks and their customers with high levels of cost efficiency, security, and flexibility.

Reshaping Syndicated Lending - A DLT Use Case

The global syndicated loan business is dependent on archaic back-office operations, administration & paperwork, tax rules and regulations across borders, transparency, and trust issues, and integration challenges between different members of the syndicate. The result is a longer settlement duration, high overheads between different parties - banks, borrowers, agencies, regulatory bodies, and high expenses in terms of fees, intermediaries, and documentation charges. Much of the challenge is due to the nature of the business.

Guidelines for Writing Effective Test Cases

Writing effective test cases is one of the most critical tasks that each tester must do within the Software Testing Life Cycle(STLC). Test cases are the foundation of every software product analysis. Writing successful test cases, on the other hand, is a method that can be learnt by in-depth application research, which involves building test cases and, most crucially, experience. The method for building successful test cases will be to identify, define, and analyze requirements.
