This blog will explore common bottlenecks, how to diagnose and resolve them, and include a Python script for automating diagnostics. Lets get started!

In recent years, hyper-automation has emerged as a buzzword in the world of business process optimization. Promising a fully automated, intelligent enterprise, hyper-automation leverages technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. But while it often sits at the center of these conversations, RPA’s limitations have become increasingly apparent.

This is a guest post from Artem Zakharchenko, creator of MSWJS, an API mocking library for Javascript. He also writes about testing for EpicWeb and on his personal blog. Test flakiness is a big issue. Not only can it be a colossal time investment to detect and fix, but it hurts perhaps the biggest value you get from your tests—their trustworthiness. A test you cannot trust is a useless test. Time spent maintaining a useless test is time wasted; time that could have been spent building.

With the holiday shopping season in full swing, poor web performance can have a big impact on revenue. There’s intense competition for online shoppers, and customers will quickly bounce to another site instead of slogging through a bad experience. The best way to track and achieve your web performance goals is through experience-based SLOs (Experience Level Objectives, or XLOs).
