For those who are familiar with Selenium WebDriver, one of the most common features is the Wait command.
These commands are handy in test scripts execution, or observing and troubleshooting issues that arise due to time lag. Wait commands are powerful — but they also come along with a big problem with timing due to front-end processing. Starting from version 7.0.0, we have introduced the Smart Wait feature that helps you handle Selenium wait issues without any additional test scripts. The #1 Selenium’s Villain: Timing Issue Most web applications today are developed using front-end technologies such as Javascript or Ajax.
Desktop Application Testing with Katalon Studio 7. We’ve incorporated desktop application (app) testing to Katalon Studio — starting from version 7.0.0.
This addition to the tool’s existing capabilities (web, API, and mobile testing) will transform Katalon Studio into a complete cross-platform test automation solution. See release notes here. 7 Things to Know About the Brand New Katalon Studio 7. The brand new Katalon Studio 7 is here!

Best 14 CI/CD Tools You Must Know. “Quality at Speed” is the new norm in software development.
Enterprises are making their moves toward DevOps methodologies and Agile culture to accelerate the delivery speed and ensure product quality. In DevOps, a continuous and automated delivery cycle is the backbone that makes fast and reliable delivery possible. This results in the need for proper continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools. A “good” CI/CD tool can leverage teams’ current workflow, to best exploit the automation feature and create a solid CI/CD pipeline, and give teams the boost they need to thrive. If you are new to CI/CD, please check out this blog. With the overflowing number of CI/CD tools available in the market, teams may struggle to have to make difficult decisions to pick out the right tools. CI/CD Pipeline: What, Why & How to Build The Best One.
On this page: To gain full potential of the software development workflow, developers today must familiarize themselves with the best workflows, practices, and tools.
Fast software production is no longer enough to win today’s technology marketplace. Deployments have to be faster, more reliable, and more accurate than the competitors. A sturdy CI/CD pipeline is the solution to this challenge. Continuous Delivery vs. Continuous Deployment: Where to draw the line? You’ve likely heard of the term CI/CD pipeline.
You have probably known about these practices: continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment as well. But the uncertainty remains: What are the differences between continuous delivery and continuous deployment? What is Regression Testing? Definition, Tools & How to Get Started. What is regression testing?
Regression testing is a software testing practice that ensures an application still functions as expected after any code changes, updates, or improvements. Regression testing is responsible for the overall stability and functionality of the existing features. Whenever a new modification is added to the code, regression testing is applied to guarantee that after each update, the system stays sustainable under continuous improvements.
Changes in the code may involve dependencies, defects, or malfunctions. Top 10 Benefits of Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery. What is CI/CD? Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery in 2019. CI/CD is the acronym for the combined practices of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD). CI/CD practices are currently the most widely accepted choice to shorten software development and delivery cycle time. In today’s ever-evolving landscape, one of the top challenges for software companies is quickly responding to market and customer demands.
And CI/CD methodology emerged as the pivotal solution to such a challenge. Continuous Testing Introduction. Customers nowadays expect top-notch software for their businesses or personal use.
8 Best Practices to Implement Continuous Testing. Does your business plan include a continuous testing strategy? Is continuous testing right for your organization? Every company who has implemented continuous testing had to answer these questions – and not all companies are able to do so. It requires a strategic planning process and many changes would need to be put in place, which can be challenging for small and large organizations alike.
What is End-to-End (E2E) Testing? End-to-End Testing: What is it? End-to-end testing is a technique that tests the entire software product from beginning to end to ensure the application flow behaves as expected. It defines the product’s system dependencies and ensures all integrated pieces work together as expected. The main purpose of End-to-end (E2E) testing is to test from the end user’s experience by simulating the real user scenario and validating the system under test and its components for integration and data integrity.
Software systems nowadays are complex and interconnected with numerous subsystems. If any of the subsystems fails, the whole software system could crash.
