Do all testers need to learn how to code so they can automate tests?

Not every tester needs to code. Treat automation as part of a wider testing strategy. Keep business and domain expertise front and center to decide what to test, then choose the approach that fits your team low code, record and playback, or full code. This lets domain experts automate without losing the value of their product knowledge, while coders tackle the complex parts.

Best Practices for Building a Secure FinTech App

‍ Trust is the currency in FinTech - and in 2025, that currency is under siege. Cybercrime is accelerating. Global costs from cyber attacks are projected to hit USD 10.5 trillion annually in 2025, up sharply from about USD 3 trillion in 2015. Meanwhile, in the financial sector where your app may live, the stakes are even higher: the average cost of a data breach in financial services is pegged at USD 6.08 million.

What is BDD?

The term “Behavior Driven Development”, or BDD, is an umbrella term for a wide variety of techniques. The general principles of BDD include reframing tests as descriptions of system behavior – “when I do one thing, I should see this result”. Historically, those descriptions were the output of a computer program. Over time, the uses of BDD shifted toward Gherkin, an English-like but precise language.

Testing AI Code in CI/CD Made Simple for Developers

Generative AI can produce code faster than humans, and developers feel more productive with it integrated into their IDEs. That productivity is only real if CI/CD tests are solid and automated. When not appropriately tested, you may encounter a production issue that you haven't seen before. According to the State of Software Delivery 2025 report, 67% of developers spend more time debugging and resolving security vulnerabilities in code generated by AI. That cancels out the efficient gains that they get from faster AI code generation.

Best Affordable Test Automation Tools For QA Teams In 2025 [Pricing Comparison]

In our rapidly-changing digital world, companies are always searching for tools to enable automation for testing. Due to the increase in popularity of test automation, it is important to understand the pricing for testing tools. Whether you’re selecting a platform to help you simplify your QA process or determining how much to invest in test automation, pricing is an important factor.

Augmenting Coverage; Not Just Speed

Agentic testing isn’t just about faster execution - it’s about uncovering what’s missing from your test suite. This blog explores a forward-looking model where AI agents help identify gaps in traditional, deterministic systems through techniques like scenario delta detection, data condition surfacing, edge path exploration, and test case obsolescence tracking.

Xray App Editions: more flexibility, more choice for all teams

In the Atlassian ecosystem, every team has its own way of approaching testing: some are just starting out and need the basics; others are scaling automation, managing complex pipelines, or working under strict compliance standards. Until now, Xray offered a core application with the base set of features, and users could add Xray Enterprise on top of that to gain access to additional functionalities.

QA Debt: The Silent Risk That Can Take Down Your Business

In engineering, we talk a lot about technical debt — the shortcuts and compromises made in code that pile up over time. But there’s another kind of debt that’s just as dangerous and far more invisible: QA debt. QA debt is what happens when testing isn’t given the same attention as features, architecture, or performance. It’s the accumulation of missed edge cases, outdated test suites, incomplete automation, or skipped regression checks.

Why Business Leaders Cannot Afford QA Delays

Every boardroom in any company that is transforming its systems should be asking the same question: How long before our next ERP release? When that timeline stretches because of QA delays, the consequences are not just technical – they are strategic. Release schedules slip, budgets escalate, and stakeholders begin to lose faith. Quality assurance is not merely a phase. It can be the difference between being a market leader and lagging.
