The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
At ObservabilityCON, we announced our first step towards launching a native integration between Grafana k6 load testing and Grafana Tempo tracing (k6 x Tempo) in Grafana Cloud. We created k6 x Tempo to help dev, testing, and operation teams analyze their performance test results more effectively and proactively improve the reliability of their business-critical applications.
Choosing a JavaScript unit testing framework is an essential early step for any new front-end development project. Unit tests are great for peace of mind and reducing software errors.

We examined 11 of the most popular JavaScript unit testing frameworks according to stateofjs.com, to help you decide which is best for you.
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.
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.
Welcome to day three of our very first Launch Week! The last two days we shared how alerting became so much better and how we moved one level up by completing our SOC 2 Type 1 audit. Are you curious what’s next? I’ll tell you, but first let’s set the stage and look at Microsoft’s Playwright.
