Secret weapons for testing transformations

Have you developed a vision for modernizing your testing? Now it’s time to make that vision a reality. When you set out to transform your testing practice, don’t just aim to improve a few processes—instead, strive to make sweeping changes in the culture and activities of your testing organization. By definition, a transformation should entail major changes. It’s your chance to implement an entirely new vision for testing.

High Scale Postman Load Testing for Kubernetes

In this Postman load testing tutorial, you'll learn how to run a large scale load test in Kubernetes using your existing Postman collections. Because HTTP services don't have a graphical user interface, it's common to build collections of requests using Postman during the development process. These collections are useful for running quick functionality tests as you develop each endpoint. However, as the service grows you eventually need to test it in a more realistic way with larger volume. This is called a load or stress test. Speedscale is a Production Data Simulation Platform that includes this stress/load testing capability out of the box.

Automated Visual UI Testing on the Katalon Platform

Quality on the UI matters – and visual testing does too. The Katalon platform pairs automated functional and UI testing to help teams deliver applications that win: win time-to-market and win the trust of digital customers. With AI-infused into the solution, no additional third-party tools or extensions are needed to highlight critical mismatches in layout, colors, fonts, and misplacement of visual elements.#visualtesting #visualuitesting #katalon #automatedvisualtesting

Production Data Simulation: Record in One Environment, Replay in Another

Have you ever experienced the problem where your code is broken in production, but everything runs correctly in your dev environment? This can be really challenging because you have limited information once something is in production, and you can’t easily make changes and try different code. Speedscale production data simulation lets you securely capture the production application traffic, normalize the data, and replay it directly in your dev environment.

Benchmark Your Elixir App's Performance with Benchee

At some point, every software engineer will find themselves in a situation where they need to benchmark system performance and test the limits of what a given system can handle. This is a common problem in software engineering, and even more so in the applications that are well suited for Elixir. Finding bottlenecks early on in an application can save a lot of time, money, and effort in the long run, and give developers confidence in the upper limit of a system.

Engineers are not testers. Here's how to build a QA team.

Great software engineers are expensive, in-demand, and incredibly hard to find. Building an engineering team is a heroic feat – but stop asking them to moonlight as testers and build a QA team instead. Trying to offload QA duties onto your engineers is not as effective as you might hope. Unhappy developers lead to high turnover, slower release time, and an expensive talent search. Take it from the experts; build a QA team if you want high-quality products and releases.
