Don't rely on end-to-end tests: design for failure instead.

DZone

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.

Automate CI/CD pipelines with Dynatrace: Part 2, Deploy stage

Dynatrace

This step is crucial as this environment is used for the final validation and testing phase before the code is released into production. Furthermore, augmenting test coverage to mirror the scenarios encountered in production is imperative. This stage ensures the code meets the required quality standards before it goes live.

Reinventing Performance Testing: Agile

Alex Podelko

I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. While it was always recommended to start performance testing earlier, it was usually rather few activities you can do before the system is ready.

What is chaos engineering?

Dynatrace

Testing for mishaps you can predict is essential. Chaos engineering is a method of testing distributed software that deliberately introduces failure and faulty scenarios to verify its resilience in the face of random disruptions. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior.

8 Functional Testing Types Explained With Detail

Enprowess

8 Functional Testing types. Quick Summary: In the most straightforward and simple words, functional testing tests various aspects of an application, website, or system to guarantee that it is correctly doing what it should be. The tests also discover a more modular architecture with subsystems that have clear responsibilities.
