The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
Over the past few months, I’ve been redesigning and writing StatusCake’s SSL monitoring feature from Node to Go. This blog post describes one of the more subtle challenges we came across to help you master it if you find yourself with it too! Writing a Go client that fetches an SSL certificate isn’t a new problem. A common approach is to use a http.Client. This limits you to just certificates served over HTTPS, when technically anything running TLS can have a certificate.
The goal of automating UI testing is to speed up the software release process and help developers catch front-end bugs sooner and fix them faster. The potential benefits of automated UI testing for web applications are huge: Most software companies do UI testing by asking developers or QA engineers to write test scripts to test the front-end of the application within a web browser. The most popular automation frameworks are Selenium and Cypress.
