Functional Testing: An in-depth overview
To define it simply, we can say- Functional testing ensures every part of an application does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s about verifying that the software’s functions and features behave as expected from an end-user’s perspective. And unlike other types of testing, such as performance or load testing, functional testing focuses on the…

Benchmark Testing in Software: The Key to Optimizing Performance
Every software application undergoes rigorous functional and non-functional testing to meet business requirements. When we talk about delivering top-tier software, performance is key. How fast does it run? How stable is it under pressure? Can it scale with growing demand? Does it remain reliable when pushed to its limits? These questions are at the core…

Understanding TDD and BDD : A Guide for developers
TDD refers to Test Driven Development and BDD refers to Behavior Driven Development; are fairly similar development approaches that both emphasize testing and collaboration, yet have major differences. TDD is more developer-centric, revolving around code correctness, with programming language-specific frameworks. On the other hand, BDD is more user-centric and revolves more around system behavior. In…

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.…
