Usability Testing Explained: How to Evaluate User Experience and Improve Product Design with Harness

Usability testing is a powerful method for understanding how real users interact with your product, and uncovering the friction, confusion, and hidden roadblocks that can impact the user experience. In this video, we break down what usability testing is, why it matters, and how observing real user behaviour can help teams create more intuitive, user-friendly software.

What Is a T-Test? A/B Testing with Statistical Confidence

When running A/B tests, how do you know if the results are actually meaningful — or just random chance? That’s where the t-test comes in. In this video, we explain how t-tests help you evaluate whether changes in conversion rates, engagement, or performance metrics are statistically significant. You’ll learn how they work, when to use them, and why they’re essential for making confident product, marketing, and engineering decisions.

What Is Multivariate Testing? A Guide to Experimenting With Multiple Elements

A/B testing is great — but what if you want to optimize more than one thing at a time? That’s where multivariate testing (MVT) comes in. In this video, we break down how MVT works, why it gives you deeper insights than A/B testing, and how you can use it to test multiple page or app elements at once. You’ll learn how to run multivariate tests, when to use them over A/B tests, and how Harness makes this seamless inside your CI/CD pipeline.

Fork Your Database for Staging & Testing

Learn how to quickly create a fork of your Aiven for PostgreSQL instance to set up a safe staging or testing environment. In this demo, we walk you through selecting your project and service, navigating to the backups & forking section, naming your new instance, choosing the cloud provider and plan, and finalising the fork to replicate your original database. This approach allows you to test changes safely without affecting your production database, making development and QA workflows much more reliable.

Without proactive performance testing, these moments can quickly turn into poor user experiences and lost revenue.

Speedscale Proxymock: Freely testing cloud native apps alongside AI code assistants

We’ll always remember 2025 as the year AI code assistants went big. Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, whatever. Developers went from mistrusting these tools, to being expected to turn over much of their coding labor to them. Even if, according to an extensive Stack Overflow survey, only 3 percent of professional developers say they ‘highly trust’ AI coding tools.

The Importance of Penetration Testing in Compliance with Cybersecurity

Penetration testing has been an indispensable aspect of the contemporary security practices in cybersecurity. It is also referred to as ethical hacking and consists of its representatives simulating actual cyberattacks on systems of a company in order to discover its vulnerabilities before bad-actors. In the case of organizations dealing with sensitive information or functioning with regulated industries, penetration testing is not only a good concept but in most cases is the law.
