You should always make the time to test. But which framework should you choose for your project? We examined 11 of the most popular JavaScript unit testing frameworks according to stateofjs.com, to help you decide which is best for you.

Preventing PII in Test environments

Data privacy and security are a top concern for most organizations. It’s easy to see why given changes over the past few years. These types of protections can be great for us as consumers. However, they also make it extremely difficult to create realistic production simulations in pre-production. It’s hard to rapidly develop new applications if you can’t iterate against realistic data.

Introduction to Automation Testing Strategies For Microservices

Microservices are distributed applications deployed in different environments and could be developed in different programming languages having different databases with too many internal and external communications. A microservice architecture is dependent on multiple interdependent applications for its end-to-end functionalities. This complex microservices architecture requires a systematic testing strategy to ensure end-to-end (E2E) testing for any given use case. In this blog, we will discuss some of the most adopted automation testing strategies for microservices and to do that we will use the testing triangle approach.

Use Datadog Continuous Testing to release with confidence

Testing early and often in the development cycle is a must for ensuring that your application meets user expectations. Poor performance and errors can alienate users and prevent you from meeting crucial benchmarks and OKRs. Additionally, having to constantly implement fixes after new, under-tested features are added can fatigue developers and strain your resources, making your organization less nimble overall.

Production Data Simulation: Record in One Environment, Replay in Another

Have you ever experienced the problem where your code is broken in production, but everything runs correctly in your dev environment? This can be really challenging because you have limited information once something is in production, and you can't easily make changes and try different code. Speedscale production data simulation lets you securely capture the production application traffic, normalize the data, and replay it directly in your dev environment. There are a lot of challenges with trying to replicate the production environment in non-prod.

Grafana k6 one year later: Lessons learned after an acquisition

A few years ago, I was meeting with venture capitalists and private equity firms about the future of k6, the open source performance testing tool that we created in 2016 and open sourced in 2017. After talking about the k6 product mission — to give modern engineering teams better tools to build reliable applications — one investor challenged us to create an even bigger vision for the company: What if we acquired a company to broaden the k6 story?

Component testing vs unit testing

Testing is a vital part of the software development lifecycle. It plays an important role in the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, enabling developers to release dependable, resilient, and secure software consistently. There are many types of testing and testing methodologies: end-to-end testing, dynamic testing, integration testing, and others. This article focuses on component testing and unit testing.
