Which Open Source Bug Tracking Tools Would Be Best For You?

With the increase in open-source software tools, developers have become more powerful. Open Source refers to an openly distributed code which allows users to inspect, modify and enhance it. It includes a license that allows users to utilize the source code and you can also modify and share under defined terms and conditions.

Automate DAST in DevSecOps With JFrog and NeuraLegion

NeuraLegion’s VP Oliver Moradov takes us through how you can use JFrog and NeuraLegion to automate AppSec testing in your pipelines. The days of long release cycles are well and truly behind us — it is simply not feasible in our agile development world, with developers delivering software and more features at an unprecedented scale and speed. With DevOps, we have multiple development teams running multiple concurrent builds, which is great, but security testing has not kept up.

Automated browser tests EXPLAINED in code

Automated tests keep your code flowing, but don't stress about testing browsers. This video shows how browser tests are automated in real world through Selenium, Chrome, and Python code examples, with a bonus tip to help debugging in your Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. The code and diagram graphics are generated via the Python library Code Video Generator, source in the links below.

What is Load Testing? How It Works, Tools, Tutorials, and More

Load testing is a type of performance testing that simulates a real-world load on any software, application, or website. Without it, your application could fail miserably in real-world conditions. That’s why we build tools like Retrace to help you monitor application performance and fix bugs before your code ever gets to production.

Making our Laravel test suite ready for parallel testing

To make sure that our service is working correctly, we have a suite of automated tests. The test suite is executed when we make changes and deploy something to production. Using the new parallel testing feature that recently landed in Laravel, we managed to run our testsuite about four times faster. Here is the test output when running all tests sequentially. The time needed is 4m28s. And here's the test output when using parallel testing. It only took 1m05s.

Python Load Testing Best Practices

Python is one of the leading programming languages in the world. Many of the world’s most popular websites run, at least in part, on Python, including Instagram, Google, Instacart, Uber, Netflix, and Spotify. When the language is used properly, it can be very efficient and requires low processing power in most cases. It’s important for sites to rely on python load testing best practices and security testing services by companies like QAwerk to understand how efficiently their site runs.

With M1 Mac Minis, The Future is Bright for Mobile Device Testing

WebPageTest tries to use real browsers and devices for testing whenever possible, but doing that at scale has some serious challenges, particularly when it comes to testing mobile browsers. There are a lot of different moving pieces, from the device itself to everything that needs to be in place for traffic shaping. The phones themselves pose significant reliability challenges.
