To stay on top of the software testing game, QA teams have to keep up with the industry’s evolution. Here are some key findings from The State of Quality Report 2022 that highlight the critical testing trends and practices to test effectively in 2022.

One of the most important phrases of DevOps practices is “Test early, test often.” It’s crucial to perform functional testing early with unit tests and integration tests. But it’s equally important to perform non-functional testing. That means you should have performance tests. As markets become more saturated with each passing day, you no longer have the luxury to postpone performance testing until all features are developed.

Digital transformation has been characterized by an insatiable appetite for new content and capabilities. Today, customers expect brands to not only deliver compelling digital experiences, they want those digital experiences to be continuously refreshed, improved, reimagined. It is therefore no surprise that software delivery velocity is becoming the barometer for digital product teams. But this need for speed cannot come at the price of quality.

Yesterday, Testlio officially announced a revolutionary new methodology for software quality: fused testing. This is a major milestone for our company. We are breaking down long-standing tensions between quality, speed, and coverage by seamlessly bringing together manual and automated testing through freelance talent, partnerships, platform capabilities, and strategic services.

Faced with skyrocketing consumer expectations and rapid industry shifts, 54% of development teams are struggling to keep up with software delivery. While organizations are turning towards automated testing to help bridge the gap between speed and quality, 64% of DevOps teams are struggling to find the talent needed to support those initiatives.

Test Automation is a software testing approach that uses automation technologies to control test execution rather than a human tester. The actual test findings are then compared to projected or expected outcomes. Automated testing improves productivity and reduces time-to-market for your initiatives.

The load test comparison feature build-in to LoadFocus Results allows you to compare the results of two different test runs of the same test for the cloud load testing service. You can visually compare the results between the test run set as baseline and the current test run, just by setting a test run as a baseline, and loading the other load tests runs. Baseline comparison is important because it allows to easily find differences in performance for the test runs.

One of the biggest challenges in a distributed-by-design company where people work from three different regions (Americas, Europe-Middle-East-Africa, and Asia-Pacific) is staying connected. Here’s an overview of ways we tackle it both company-wide and within teams.
