A Guide to Canary Testing: How It Works, Benefits, and Importance
What’s Canary Testing? Canary testing is a deployment strategy where a new release is rolled out to a small subset of users before a full launch. Similar to miners using canaries to detect danger, this method helps identify bugs, performance issues, or risks early without affecting all users. Typically, about 5% of traffic is routed…

Mock vs Stub vs Fake: Understand the difference
Introduction Testing software is like putting it through a series of challenges to make sure it’s tough enough for real-world use. Whether we’re testing each piece individually (unit testing) or how they all work together (integration testing), we need to be prepared for different situations. Sometimes, testing is tricky.There are times, when we need to…

Improving Code Quality and Accelerating Development
Introduction In the fast-changing world of software development, teams struggle to maintain good code quality while shortening development schedules. Continuous Testing (CT) in CI/CD pipelines stands out as a powerful strategy. It allows teams to weave testing directly into their development workflow, offering quick feedback and stronger quality assurance. This article delves into Continuous Testing’s…
