We’ve released a new version of our load testing plugin for Jenkins CI. Load Testing CI/CD Plugin helps to run load tests automatically as a Post-build action and mark the build as PASSED, UNSTABLE or FAILED based on errors received during the test run and the average response time. Use the Post build actions and define your load test limits in order to mark the build UNSTABLE or FAILED.

Field testing is a critical step in the last phase of mobile testing. After all regression tests pass, testers would go into the real environment to verify an application’s usability and behavior. The purpose of field testing is to determine how an application works before releasing it to end-users. Therefore, teams test to see how end-users use the application beyond the initial frequent use, in a real-world scenario. Testing is carried out using mobile networks only.

In our latest guide covering the essentials and best practices for software development we are detailing some of the necessary basics that you need to know about unit testing before you get started. To explain examples, best practices and some of the top queries around unit testing we’ve invited contributors Nelson Ford, Founder and Principal Solutions Architect at Pilotcore Systems & Ryo Chikazawa, CEO of Autify to share their thoughts below.

Digital data is the new gold, and hackers will stop at nothing to get yours. In a study by cybersecurity experts at Maryland University, researchers found that cyber-attacks happen once every 39 seconds. As one of the first organizations to quantify cyber-attacks, Maryland University also says that these attacks can affect one out of every three U.S. citizens.

Preparing resilient tests can be a challenging process when you do not know where to start. We will cover this in this guide, from the virtual user validation to smoke testing. And then analyzing the most common errors and how to fix them. Note that we also recommend reading this other guide, it can greatly help understand the analysis and report engine of OctoPerf.

Countless things should be tested within web applications but among them, one of the most important scenarios to be tested and even load tested is the user login process. User login serves as a medium between providing users with most of the product features and therefore requires careful and thorough testing. If your website allows users to log in, a login page test is necessary. An automated test for this can be easily created for this.

Being able to write concise, easily comprehensible software testing reports is an important skill for software development team members to possess, particularly those in quality assurance, development, and support. Poorly written software testing reports can make the development process more difficult and less productive. Imagine a client asks if their app is ready for launch and based on your assessment, everything is working correctly.

Mobile testing involves spotting bugs in a mobile application and fixing them – ranging from identifying sign-up issues, breaking in the payment process, or finding glitches in navigation before it hits the market. This testing can be done manually or with automation, and utilizing the right testing strategy helps meet all quality and usability requirements. Among the elements necessary for a seamless testing process is the selection of the right mobile testing devices.
