This blog post is a guide to help you write Gatling scripts in order to load test web applications efficiently. It follows our second Gatling Simulation scripts parameterization article. We will continue to load test a fake e-commerce, and so we are going to improve our Virtual User to make it browse the store in a more humanly way. We start where the previous blog post ended, with a simulation script that uses a CSV feeder and a Regular Expression extractor to visit dynamic pages of the pet store.

Working from home is the new norm for teams all over the world. For software development teams, adapting to the new working environment has been going on for more than one month now. To further understand the challenges of working (or testing) remotely, we conducted a quick survey on the state of working from home for the testing community.

UI testing can be an incredibly useful tool for verifying that an app’s key features and user interactions remain fully functional while quickly iterating on its code base.

Speed and quality can go hand in hand, but sometimes you need a bit of tinkering to get both. Try this Bitrise setup to split tests up, run them in parallel and speed up your builds.

We're all remote workers today. There has been a ton of amazing information published by some of the leading remote companies about how to work remotely, but we haven't seen much that talks about what kind of company culture is necessary for remote work to thrive. Having done this for 8 years, I can confidently say the 'soft stuff' is as important as tooling and process. To that end, I asked our team (over Slack, naturally) to share their tips on how to thrive as a remote worker.

We’ve written about the importance of testing before. If you’re in development, you’re no doubt familiar with agile methodology. But sometimes a test-driven approach seems at odds with going fast. And how do you best communicate the importance of testing to everyone on your team? If you’ve felt frustrated with test-driven development or don’t have buy-in from your team, behavior-driven development is there to help.

This new release of OctoPerf brings a lot of long awaited features. This is all based on your feedback, so make sure to let us know what you would like to see in OctoPerf next! Of course we have a few plans of our own for the future, but I strongly believe that a good software can only result from a good collaboration between users and developers.
