mabl Adds Load Testing Tool to Test Automation Suite
mabl today added a load testing capability to its portfolio of application testing tools that it makes available via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. That capability promises to make it simpler to streamline testing within a DevOps workflow by making available load testing tools that measure application peformance alongside existing mabl tools accessible via a test […]
Turning Software Testers Into 10xers
How do you make technical processes faster and more scalable? If your answer is simply to automate them, you’re stuck in the 2010s. Today, automation is widespread, and automating processes in a basic sense is no longer enough on its own to maximize efficiency and velocity. Instead, teams who want to excel–who want to become […]
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 […]
The Time for Automated Testing is Now
Skilled software testers continue to be in high demand, and it appears that trend won’t change any time soon. The current labor shortage and a looming recession is giving software development leaders good cause to think about how to attract and keep qualified personnel and, more importantly, enable them to work as efficiently as possible. […]
4 Best Practices for Entertainment App Testing
Entertainment apps represent a broad category of software, ranging from mobile games, to social media platforms, to streaming video apps and beyond. However, all entertainment apps share a few key traits in common: They typically host dynamic content that is unique for each user. This makes entertainment apps different from apps where most or all […]
Adopting Shift Left Testing in Software QA
I am often asked to recommend best practices for building software testing programs. The problem is that it depends on your definition of “best.” What works for an innovative startup developing software and deploying agile development sprints is not necessarily going to suit an established public company launching a new web product. The software development […]
