Normally, testers write scripts on their own, which can be time-consuming, difficult to ensure 100% coverage, and hard to communicate precise requirements coverage achieved to critical stakeholders and clients. Inside Xray Enterprise, the new test case design tool, Test Case Designer (TCD), takes a model-based approach to designing more powerful tests. The tool’s algorithm uses pairwise/combinatorial methods to generate optimized tests based on the parameter models.

To effectively run tests of all the important test-cases and guarantee that all the criteria are being met to the fullest extent feasible, testers must do more than just run the software through its paces; they must also manage, gather, and retain massive volumes of data. These testing datasets are used as input by test cases, from which anticipated and unexpected system behavior may be determined.

This is Part 2 of the Requirement Gathering Blog series by Rahul Parwal. We’d like to thank him for sharing his expertise with the community through this information-packed piece. In the Agile methodology, the requirement-gathering “phase” is not as rigid and formal as in the traditional Waterfall method.

Platform engineering is a growing field focused on building and maintaining the infrastructure that supports the development and deployment of software applications. What do developers need to know about platform engineering?

Learn what observability is and why it matters to Site Reliability Engineers.

Superapps take the features and functions of several apps to create a single powerful app that allows users to accomplish multiple tasks in one place. With mobile app users spending more time on apps each day, what are the benefits of creating a superapp for companies?

Today, we are very excited to announce the acquisition of Aspecto, an OpenTelemetry (OTel) pioneer whose capabilities will further extend SmartBear’s modern, developer-focused observability capabilities. Aspecto’s solution discovers modern microservice based architectures and visualizes all the real-time interactions between services and APIs through advanced distributed tracing capabilities.
