We typically understand software testing by the everyday definition of the word: making sure a piece of software performs the way it is supposed to in a production-like environment. For a complex distributed application with several external dependencies there is nothing that can beat a full end-to-end test. Or is there?

Taking part in testing more than 50 projects we saw how tests can give confidence in the code base, begin to save time for the entire development team and help to comply with business requirements. For those who come from other ecosystems, let us first explain what the term “functional tests” means in Symfony.

Performances testing helps establish the scalability, stability, and speed of the software application. Numerous kinds of performance testing imitate several possible user scenarios and know the behavior of the apps. Performance testing is mainly a subset of Performance engineering and is also referred to as ' Perf Tests.'

API Test is crucial for the software systems to function at high quality. That means it is critical to thoroughly verify and test Application Programming Interfaces before rolling out the product to the end-users or customers. What is API Test? Every app you build nowadays completely relies on Application Programming Interfaces.

My post Good Times for Load Testing was published in 2014. It is difficult to believe that 5 years passed… Are times still good for load testing? If we speak about commercial load testing tools, we see rather a shrinking market and not too much innovation recently. Well, yes and no. I am not so upbeat as I was in 2014.

The quality can be subjective, so different teams may use different definitions based on the context. Code can be considered good quality if it is clear, simple, well tested, bug-free, refactored, documented, and performant. Keeping good code quality is also crucial for developing safety-critical systems.
