Best Advice To Address Software Development Challenges

Dec 16, 2022 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Software development is inherently challenging, with complexities like time constraints and lack of resources. The ever-evolving business needs make it even more daunting for developers to create solutions that address them effectively. The worst part is that minor errors in your code may affect the usability and success of the end product. Moreover, you may not realize their presence until the end. But navigating these challenges is easy, provided you take a strategic approach from the outset of the project. Let us share some valuable advice to address the common software development challenges.

How to Bypass TOTP-Based 2FA Login Flows With Playwright

Dec 15, 2022 By Stefan Judis In Checkly

Testing applications behind a login flow is cumbersome. And it gets even worse when there’s two-factor authentication (2FA) involved. Many people work around this problem by disabling it or implementing wild hacks. Automating a 2FA-based login flow is just too hard! I thought that for a long time, too. But I must admit — I was wrong.

The Role of Kubernetes in Production Traffic Replication

Dec 14, 2022 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale
Organizations are starting to realize that simply writing tests to generate traffic is simply not good enough. Rather, production traffic replication is now necessary, where you record traffic from your production environment and then replay it in your development environment. To match the modern principles of this testing methodology, it makes sense to also utilize modern infrastructure, like Kubernetes. Some benefits of using Kubernetes for production traffic replication are the ability to: Additionally, load generators are ephemeral. These reasons-and a few more besides-will be covered later in this post, but let's first take a deeper look at what production traffic replication is.

How Load Testing and Mocks Work Together

Dec 13, 2022 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale
If you’ve worked with load testing before, you know that there are a lot of things to consider. Whether or not you should combine load testing and mocks is one of those considerations. Getting to the answer requires knowledge of your infrastructure and your development procedures, which will all influence what questions you need to ask yourself.

How to Get Started with Software Testing

Dec 6, 2022 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale
You’ve forgotten to add frontend validation to number fields, and now people are getting an error when they enter text into those fields. However, this is an issue that’s easily preventable—by implementing a proper test that checks for edge cases, but how do get started with software testing? Avoiding bugs in production is just one advantage of testing, it also helps you be more confident about your applications, opens up the potential for a full CI/CD pipeline, and much more.

Production testing: smoke tests with Cypress, CircleCI, and AWS

Dec 1, 2022 By Ido Golan In Lumigo

“Testing your production environment” refers to the practice of running tests on production servers, using actual data from real users. Production testing doesn’t replace other methods like unit or integration testing. Instead, it extends them. Smoke testing is one approach that Lumigo has implemented to test our own production environments.

Testing React components with Cypress

Nov 30, 2022 By Waweru Mwaura In CircleCI

Components are reusable bits of code that, most of the time, work and function independently. If you want to be confident that components are working properly, you need to test them. Conveniently, Cypress.io has designed their testing framework to include component testing. This tutorial illustrates the differences between end-to-end (E2E) and component testing, and what to consider when using these methods. Then, you will learn how to use Cypress for component testing.

Bringing Codecov into the Sentry Family: Where Code Coverage Meets Application Monitoring

Nov 30, 2022 By David Cramer In Sentry

Today Codecov is joining the Sentry family. Codecov began as a code coverage reporting tool in 2014 and has since emerged as a market leader in the test analytics space. Codecov makes coverage actionable for over two dozen test frameworks, and has helped over a million software developers improve their approach to testing, coverage, and code reliability. You might be asking, what do test analytics have to do with application monitoring?
