The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
Just conducting one type of testing is generally not enough. For example, let’s say you decide to perform unit testing only. However, unit tests only verify business logic. Many other types of tests exist to verify the integration between components, such as integration tests. But what if you want to measure the maximum performance of your application? Or what if you want to know how the application behaves under extreme stress?
Effective mobile application testing that meets all the requirements of modern quality assurance can be challenging. Not only do teams need to create tests that cover a range of different device types, operating system versions, and user interactions—including swipes, gestures, touches, and more—they also have to maintain the infrastructure and device fleets necessary to run these tests.
The Grafana Labs ecosystem is built on a range of different projects that incorporate logs, metrics, traces across load testing, and Kubernetes monitoring. I’ll assume you know all of that data (and more!) can be visualized in Grafana. What made my observability dream become reality, though, is how these systems can work together to help you effectively debug performance issues and operate your system with more confidence.
