Testing has always been a time-consuming process (and often isolated from the development cycle). As applications became more complex and user expectations leveled up, the need for a more structured and scalable approach to test management emerged. Test management has evolved significantly, moving from static spreadsheets toward integrated platforms that support automation, traceability, collaboration, and real-time insights.

Test automation is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a baseline expectation for any team serious about delivering high-quality software at scale. Paulo Feitosa , Sr. Manager, Automation Solutions,

When the testing volume increases without effective control, maintenance is more time-consuming, feedback is slower, and risks are bigger, especially in environments where continuous integration and release cycles are accelerated. In this article, you’ll explore smart automation strategies that can help you reduce test duplication and improve QA team efficiency.

Another day, another API. Fueled by AI-assisted coding and agile workflows, the speed of innovation has never been higher. But for the compliance team? It’s panic mode. Every new API must follow a minefield of internal rules: security protocols, naming conventions, reuse policies, documentation standards. And while the dev team is flying forward, compliance is stuck doing manual reviews, chasing specs, and untangling inconsistencies often after the code is already written.

A test suite is a collection of test cases with similar characteristics. They are created to group test cases for a specific feature. Depending on the nuances of your product, there are so many ways to categorize test suites. In this article, we'll show you: Let's dive in!

At SmartBear, we celebrate innovators in software testing who make a real impact on their teams. The Automation All-Star Award celebrates the pioneers using SmartBear Zephyr’s no-code automation to achieve transformative results. We’re thrilled to share the stories of this year’s winner, RAC Motoring Services, and our fantastic finalists: Capgemini, Infor PSSC, Pepper Money, and the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE).

Automation can make cloud migration faster, cheaper, and safer. It reduces migration time by 50%-80%, lowers costs by up to 30%, and minimizes risks like data loss and downtime. Manual migrations often fail due to human error, complexity, and unforeseen expenses. Here's how automation solves these challenges.

Business applications like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems stand as the nervous systems of enterprise operations. They integrate core business processes, manage customer interactions, and provide a unified view of business operations. Back in 1999, Hershey's faced a major setback due to a flawed ERP implementation, resulting in a significant loss of sales and profits.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) serves as a key component of electronic system reliability and performance across industry. While hardware – test fixtures, signal generators, probes – may garner attention, it is software that produces the ‘brilliance’ of intelligence, accuracy, and scalability.

Manual testing gets old fast. You end up clicking through the same workflows over and over, and it’s easy to miss bugs when you’re going through dozens of test cases. Automated testing tools handle the repetitive stuff for you, running tests in the background while you work on actual development. This guide looks at some solid automated testing tools for 2025 that can help streamline your testing process.
