Software Testing Techniques

The evolution of non-regression testing campaigns in less than 3 months with Cerberus Testing.

Test Automation in Production: Why, When, and How? The shift-right approach to software testing mandates that tests are run as close to the production environment as possible. The main aim of shift-right testing is to catch defects and problems that can only be catch at that time and context in the software development cycle. A […]

When to Use Self-Healing in Test Automation Self-healing in test automation has become an increasing requirement for teams searching to accelerate the delivery of valuable software.  User interface elements have the tendency to rapidly change, directly impacting the stability of automated tests used to decide to proceed or not with a release. That’s why it […]

How To Shift-Right in DevOps with Test Automation Accelerating software delivery is a challenge. The DevOps paradigm contributed to foster an ecosystem in which software changes are more rapidly delivered to production. But that acceleration increases the risk of introducing defects that can be caught during development and operations phases. That’s where the Shift-Right paradigm […]

5 Ways to Accelerate With Shift-Left in Test Automation Shift-left gives a direction, but there are still many options. Upstream activities along the software lifecycle can benefit from test automation to accelerate the quality and speed of delivery. An additional benefit is to better identify test automation requirements by design, facilitating the implementation and maintenance […]

Implementing Continuous Testing as the Guardian of Quality It’s safe when someone has your back. Being there for someone is one thing, ensuring software quality attributes on a continuous basis for many users is another. That’s where a bit of automation can help. The act of testing will not guarantee testing in itself (your health […]

How To Make Your Test Automation Framework Scalable by Design Scalability is a challenge. The definition of scalability is the capacity to be changed in size or scale, and to support an increasing number of capabilities. In the case of an automation framework, scalability translates in the number of users, application under test, executions and […]

The 5 Elements Of One Test Automation Platform “I’m using a test framework”. That sentence can be a warning sign of teams using a “tool”. A tool is designed to perform one function for a particular role. It’s not made for collaboration with different roles. Frameworks are in essence the same; they simplify a series […]

Metrics for Automation Testing: 5 Key Test Automation Metrics That Matter We are all tired of vanity metrics and ego-driven reports. “I have greatly improved the number of automation tests, test coverage, and reduced the fail rate.” Great. But who’s using these automation scripts? Which value did they create for the software development process? At […]
