The Future of Continuous Testing in CI/CD
If you ever wonder why continuous testing is so important, think about the following: In the past, software testing was typically done after the code was written and sent to the QA department for independent testing. When bugs were discovered, the code was returned to the developers for correction. While this testing method worked, it […]
SapientAI Emerges From Stealth to Apply AI to App Testing
SapientAI emerged from stealth today to automate the writing of test code using a combination of generative artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms and data science.

Continuous Testing: The Key to Quality Assurance in the DevOps Era
Continuous testing has emerged as a critical aspect of quality assurance in the DevOps era. In recent years, there has been a rapid transformation in software development methodologies. With the advent of DevOps, there has been a significant shift toward automation and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). The traditional approaches to quality assurance are no […]
The Fallacy of Continuous Integration, Delivery and Testing
We know that continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) have become a DevOps best practice. And many have learned that by adding continuous testing (CT), they can create a virtuous loop, ensuring perpetual code quality and security. They’re not wrong. Yes, testing continuously is good practice, but some incorrectly equate the concept of continuous with […]
Harnessing the Power of AI Chatbots for Continuous Testing
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we develop and test software, especially with the advent of AI chatbots. These intelligent agents have the potential to streamline and automate continuous testing while improving software quality. However, software and QA managers must understand the urgency, opportunities, pitfalls and best practices associated with integrating AI chatbots into […]
Checkly Adds Monitoring-as-Code to Testing Platform
Checkly this week added a monitoring-as-code (MaC) workflow capability to its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that is used to create synthetic tests for applications. The Checkly platform spins up browsers to test and can now monitor how applications are performing at both the user interface and application programming interface (API) level. That capability, currently available in […]
Tabnine Extends Generative AI Platform Reach to Testing
Tabnine today announced it extended its generative artificial intelligence (AI) platform that enables developers to write code faster to now include the ability to automatically generate tests for that code. Available in beta, this capability promises to make it easier for developers to test code at the time it is being developed. That approach should […]
Tricentis Extends Mobile Testing Reach
Tricentis has added the ability to test native iOS and Android applications to its Testim software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. Previously, the Testim platform was designed to test web applications, but is now being extended as organizations build and deploy more native mobile applications. Capabilities of the Testim Mobile platform include codeless authoring of mobile tests to […]
5 Unique Challenges of Mobile App Testing
At first glance, testing a mobile app may not seem to be very different from testing a conventional desktop app. Mobile and desktop apps are often written in the same languages and hosted on the same servers. They must also meet the same basic user expectations in areas like loading speed and accessibility. But when […]
Let the Machines Do It: AI-Directed Mobile App Testing
AI has been in the news a lot lately. We’ve all heard a lot about ChatGPT and you’ve no doubt encountered the end result of a variety of other advances in AI technology of late, such as Lensa. But there’s also a much quieter and less visible shift happening behind the scenes during the development […]
Shift Left Testing in Microservices Environments
By now, it’s common knowledge that the later a bug is detected in the software development life cycle (SDLC), the longer it takes and the more expensive it is to fix that bug. In 2017, the Ponemon Institute found that it cost around $80 on average to fix a defect detected early in the SDLC […]
Developer’s Guide to Fuzz Testing
Fuzz testing continues to grow in popularity among developers within the open source community. Google’s open source security (OSS) team recently reported finding more than 40,000 bugs in 650 open source projects through the use of fuzz testing. But if you have no clue what fuzz testing is (yet), don’t worry. You’ve come to the […]
Applying TestOps to Cultivate a Quality Culture
Quality assurance is a universal concern, especially when it comes to application development. Enterprise applications are faster and more reliable than ever before. However, in addition to performance, application developers also must consider data security, regulatory compliance and cost-effectiveness, among other things. Organizations are embracing quality engineering (QE) as a foundation to create a software […]
Survey Warns of Looming Software Testing Crisis
