Tutorials and resources on how to apply test automation in software testing
When today’s applications run on various browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) on different mobile or desktop devices with specific screen settings. This is why you need to perform cross-browser testing for your automated tests. This article lists the main desktop or online cross-browser testing tools available today.
In this article, Mikhail Golikov, the sole QA on a seven-team backend e-commerce platform, explains where each regression check belongs, in the browser or at the API. He shares the rule he actually uses, two bugs that only one layer could have caught, and the realization that finally made his browser suite small and stable.
Test automation engineers often take not enough care of the test scripts. In many of software testing teams we work in, test code is treated much less carefully than production code. It is expected that the test scripts just work.
As AI makes test creation nearly effortless, software teams face a new challenge: determining which tests actually improve quality and which simply add noise.
In this article, Mikhail Golikov, the sole QA on a seven-team backend platform, explains how he turned a drawer full of unrun Postman collections into committable pytest suites, walks through the conversion request by request, and shows the folder-scoped command-line tool he built so one team’s pattern could scale to seven.
In most of your software testing activities, you need data. Sometimes you can rely on a small sample, but if you want to perform some load testing or if you want to test a feature that needs to produce a multipage invoice, then you start to need more than just two or three occurrences. Test data generators are tools that can help you in this task with the automatic generation of hundreds or thousands of customers, products or accounts items with different attributes for their id, email, name, etc.
In this article, Tanvi Mittal explains how to exploit production logs to detect issues that were not covered by pre-release test suites.
