Distribute Your Tests
As your suite of tests - both functional UI tests and load tests - grows, so should your use of Test Studio's more advanced features; there's no reason to be running your tests by hand. Craft your tests well, use good test lists, and finally spread out the processing. Test Studio's new remote execution engine makes distribution and scheduling of your tests easier than ever. When you start the setup for remote execution, there are some details you'll need to know.

Two Agile Myths- BUSTED!
Agile is just a series of waterfalls There’s a lot more to being agile than just shortening the cycle. The waterfall process is defined by stages (or tollgates) that happen in serial - Requirements, Design, Construction, Verification, and then Maintenance. Agile incorporates all of these tasks in parallel, with a focus on collaboration, rapid feedback loops and the embracing of change. Each story (or item of value) moving through an agile queue can be labeled with similar states from waterfall. This does not make the sprint mini-waterfalls. Since the transitions are at the feature/story level (and not at the project ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

What Exactly Is..... The 300ms Click Delay
Quick feedback is paramount in the implementation of any UI. Studies have shown that 100ms is the maximum delay for an interface to feel instantaneous to the user. Despite this, the mobile web is plagued by a sweeping feedback problem - a 300ms delay after you touch anything. This delay is one of the most prominent reasons that HTML based web apps are considered "sluggish" by many users. In this article we'll discuss why the delay exists, what browser vendors are working on to make the problem go away, and what you can do to workaround the issue right now.May 27, 2021 12 min read -

Load Testing Web Services With Test Studio
Many web sites make use of Web services, either in-house services or those from a third party. Web services perform tasks common across many applications, such as stock market tickers, weather reports, and news feeds. If the Web service is in-house, testers have to determine if it meets the required performance and load characteristics. If the service is provided by a third party, you want to make sure that it is meeting your Service Level Agreement regarding the number of simultaneous users and response times. Test Studio will have the ability to help you determine this. Let’s take a look ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

30 Days of TDD – Day 23 – Mocking… FROM THE FUTURE!
The examples I’ve been working with for this series have assumed that you are doing "Green Field” development. This means that we are writing an application from scratch and can make sure all of the things that make code testable are incorporated into our design from the start. The biggest one of these things being the user of dependency injection. But what if you are working on “legacy” code that still uses static dependencies and not dependency injection? Is TDD and unit testing out of reach due to a decision made at the beginning of the project? Not necessarily. -
