One difficult challenge in the software development cycle is increasing the speed of development while ensuring the quality of the code remains the same. The data world has adopted software development practices in recent years to test data changes before deployment. The testing process can be time-consuming and prone to unexpected errors.

Website regression testing is a form of software testing that helps to identify and fix problems with website content, functionality, and accessibility. It is a vital part of any testing strategy, as it can help to ensure that the website continues to meet user expectations. Website regression testing typically involves running a series of tests against the website to check for any issues. The tests can be performed by an automated system or manually by testers on the development team.

In this article, you’ll be introduced to two different load testing tools that are both able to work with Kubernetes; Speedscale and K6. Throughout this post you’ll be given a comparative view of how each tool performs in five different categories: Ease of setup, developer experience, working with the CLI, creating tests, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.

“Lead time to deploy” means the interval from when the code gets written to when it’s been deployed to production. It has also been described as “how long it takes you to run CI/CD.” How important is it? It’s nigh-on impossible to have a high-performing team if you have a long lead time, and shortening your lead time makes your team perform better, both directly and indirectly.

In a DevOps environment, continuous testing is essential to success. By automating the testing process, you can release new, bug-free code faster, and more efficiently. In this software development tutorial, we will examine continuous testing, its benefits, and best practices.

According to the 2021 test automation report, more than 40% of companies want to expand and invest their resources in test automation. While this doesn’t mean manual testing is going away, there is an increased interest in automation from an ROI perspective – both in terms of money and time. After all, we can agree that writing and running those unit test cases are boring.

Has it happened to you that with the release of a new version of your favorite application some feature disappeared? Or it works but unexpected things happen when you execute it? Or does it just crash? Today we will see what the possible tests that guarantee to avoid all of this are: regression tests.

When you think of TDD, you might lean towards Test-Driven-Development. Though in Tomasz Manugiewicz’s ACE 2022 talk, the ‘T’ in TDD could also mean Trust e.g Trust-Driven-Development. The talk, boils down to if there is trust, there is autonomy. If there is autonomy, creativity flourishes. Building trust is done incrementally, incremental success builds success. Software engineering is a team sport and an exercise in iteration.
