Why Traditional API Testing Fails? Comparing Shadow, Production, Replay Techniques
I want to share the story of how our team at a fast-paced startup tackled the challenge of API testing without any dedicated QA team, the roadblocks that we encountered, and how we ultimately addressed these issues. Baseline Challenge We had 15-day sprints including mandatory unit and API testing. Initially, we relied on automated testing.…

Revolutionizing Software Testing with Feature Flags
Feature flags have become a vital component of DevOps, allowing developers to test and deploy new features without disrupting the user experience. Feature flags, also known as feature toggles, act as conditional statements that enable or disable code portions. This means that developers can release new features incrementally, rather than all at once, reducing the…
