The Dutch Testing Day is a one-day conference focused on software testing that takes place in the Netherlands. This conference is a non-commercial event where scientists, lecturers and practitioners from the software testing industry meet and share ideas; for example about the latest trends in the research and technologies of software testing.
As organizations try to improve the quality of their software systems and mobile apps, many of them opt for the solution of buying software testing services from an external provider. This article explains the concept of platform-led software testing and what this solution can bring to improve the results of software quality assurance activities.
The microservice architecture has been growing momentum over the past few years in the Java world, but once you have started down the microservice path how do you make sure that your applications are still fully tested?
One of the main trends in software development is to deliver software more quickly. DevOps, continuous delivery or continuous integration are some of the approaches that have been promoted recently to achieve this goal. In their article “DevOps Advantages for Testing”, Gene Gotimer and Thomas Stiehm discusses the advantages that these approaches could provide to software testing and software quality.
As software development projects adopt frequent delivery approaches like continuous integration and continuous delivery, the speed of test execution become a key factor for their successful implementation. Distributed testing might be a solution that helps improving test execution speed. This article discusses the pros and cons of a distributed testing implementation process. It will also present the Selenium Grid open source testing tool.
Specializing static analysis techniques for test suites has yielded interesting results. We’ve previously learned that most tests are simple straight-line code, namely a sequence of setup statements followed by a payload consisting of asserts. We show how static analysis can identify useless setup statements, enabling developers to simplify and speed up their test cases.
If you develop web sites, you are certainly aware of the side effects that some JavaScript code changes might have on your applications. Visual regression testing is a technique that allows monitoring these negative impacts. This book provides a quick step by step introduction to visual regression testing using the WebdriverIO open source tool.
