Selenium Disadvantages: Why QA Teams Are Going Codeless

Selenium is the oldest and most well-recognized automated testing tool for web apps, so a lot of software teams try it out when they first experiment with automated testing. But most teams quickly run into three Selenium disadvantages: Because of these challenges, many software companies that use Selenium find testing to be a huge drain on time, effort, and resources. That’s why we designed Rainforest QA—to solve the limitations of Selenium and make QA easy to scale and maintain.

Test Management Case for Github : Retain Test Runs or Save Permanently Feature for Tests & Cycles

In this video we have a close look to the Save Permanently feature. It saves the Test Run Results from being deleted if you have the automatic delete feature enabled. This TestQuality App feature is part of your Site Maintenance if you wish to remove your Test Run data and this can be automated with the settings in the Cycle to remove all runs and it is called "Retain Runs" (how many runs you wish to retain for that particular cycle with "0" meaning "Disable").

Software Testing Metrics

Ever wondered, how do you measure testing productivity or testing effectiveness? When to say testing is complete? In all such questions, QA metrics come to the rescue. QA metrics allow test leads or managers to take decisions on various situations encountered in the project life cycle. Tricky part is that QA metrics make sense only in the given context. For example, for one project 95% pass percentage is good to go live but for a safety-critical application anything less than 100% is life-threatening.

Kubernetes Load Test Tutorial

In this blog post we use podtato-head to demonstrate how to load test kubernetes microservices and how Speedscale can help understand the relationships between them. No, that's not a typo, podtato-head is an example microservices app from the CNCF Technical Advisory Group for Application Delivery, along with instructions on how to deploy it in numerous different ways. There are more than 10 delivery examples, you will surely learn something by going through the project. We liked it so much we forked the repo to contribute our improvements.

The World Beyond Test Automation: AI-Powered Intelligent Testing for Modern Applications

Web and mobile apps are now your primary connection with your customers. Staying relevant and winning market share requires that firms can make constant changes to these apps. But how can you deploy many more small changes - often many per day - with confidence and with managed risk? In the company of two software industry leaders, we take a closer look at how a modern testing toolchain combines production safety nets - from canaries, to feature flags, to error reporting - with AI-powered quality insights to engineer quality at speed for both developers and quality engineers.

Error Reporting: Improving Outcomes with Proactive Identification

Errors happen. Despite best efforts, no piece of software is perfect. Unintentional issues with code, updates to existing frameworks, or unexpected interactions with other tools can all cause errors. As a result, it's critical for companies to deploy robust and reliable error reporting processes that help them proactively identify potential issues and improve operational outcomes.
