Kubernetes is a powerful platform that comes with many features to help engineers run their applications more efficiently. However, as you gain more experience and deploy more workloads, you’ll inevitably start looking for ways to optimize Kubernetes performance. There are many ways to approach optimization. On one hand, you could work exclusively with the tools and configurations provided by Kubernetes itself; on the other, you could reap the benefits of third-party tools.

While ‘Smoke Testing’, ‘Sanity Testing’, and ‘Regression Testing’ are widely practiced in the world of QA, there still exist some misinterpretations or misconceptions around these concepts. For your team to make the most optimal use of the 3 methods, this article will help you to understand and differentiate them from one another.

More than 70% of automation script failures are false and are caused by poor automation design practices. The False Failure Rate (FFR) is the percentage of tests that falsely fail when a test suite is run. It is calculated by dividing the number of false failures (failed tests that actually passed) by the total number of tests that were executed during a test run. Higher false failure rates increase testing and maintenance costs.

“If you don’t care about quality, you can meet any other requirement” Gerald M. Weinberg Software testing has never been a walk in the park. It demands expertise in software development, users’ behavior, the software under test architecture, stakeholders’ requirements, and programming knowledge. Quality teams know firsthand how challenging it is to ensure software quality when its architecture is becoming more complex and teams are releasing at a pace faster than ever.

Software testing techniques help us ensure that our software meets all the requirements. The goal of testing techniques is to find out missing requirements, gaps, and errors in comparison to the actual requirements. Finding the right testing technique can be a little challenging. These techniques help us to identify test conditions. Note that there are multiple types of testing. One example is the black box testing technique. In this process, developers test their applications through different inputs.

This year, there are more commercial tools offering no-code and low-code test automation solutions, helping the testing community to worry less about the tech stack. As the testing industry evolves with many new principles and tools, testers should also continuously improve their skills in order to test their product more robustly.

Money has been gradually digitized for decades, and the electronic transfer of funds is nothing new. But over the last five to ten years, internet technology and e-commerce have made digital payment methods the standard; these trends have sped up dramatically since the pandemic. Gen Z is leading the fray with near-total adoption and use of digital payments.

Most software projects leverage synthetic tests to verify functionality early on, but physical devices are the ultimate form of quality assurance. While a few smartphones may suffice early on, a growing user base means quality assurance teams must ensure support for a broad range of devices, operating systems, and browsers with public or private device clouds. Device clouds make it easier to manage devices and run automated tests from anywhere.
