How AI-Driven Test Automation Enhances Business Efficiency and Reduces Costs
- Nov 15, 2024
If there was a way to make your software testing faster, more accurate, and much less expensive, wouldn’t that be a game changer? That’s exactly what AI test automation is making possible. Traditional testing methods are slow, tedious, and expensive—especially as software gets more complex. Manual testing is time-consuming, brings errors throughout the process, and is a costly proposition. However, these problems can be overcome with AI-powered automation.
Shift Left Testing Approach: What It Is and Why It’s Essential in QA
- Nov 8, 2024
Shift Left Testing is all about moving testing further left, as far up the development process as possible. Tight schedules are another favorable factor in testing early and often so that the development process is smoother and of higher quality. Wondering how this approach works and why it’s causing such a massive shift in development practices? Now, let’s look at how Shift Left Testing makes efficiency, quality, and collaboration the focus of software development.
What is Test Observability in Software Testing?
- Nov 4, 2024
In software testing, it is our job to understand how applications behave in their real-world environment. With observability, teams gain a better view: not just detecting issues but understanding why they’re occurring in the first place. In testing observability, unlike traditional monitoring, which typically signals when things go wrong, observability focuses on why and where it happened so the team can optimize system health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Serverless testing refers to testing applications built on serverless computing architecture, where developers don't manage the infrastructure. It is essential as it ensures serverless applications' reliability, scalability, and performance by validating functions, events, and interactions within the serverless environment.
Testing serverless applications presents challenges like cold start issues, function execution time constraints, and event-driven workflows. Traditional testing approaches may not directly apply, making it crucial to employ strategies specific to serverless environments.
We adopt a comprehensive approach that includes unit testing for individual functions, integration testing for function interactions, end-to-end testing for entire workflows, and performance testing to validate scalability. Our testing strategy considers event-driven scenarios and incorporates chaos engineering to assess system resilience.
We leverage a combination of tools and frameworks such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions for deploying serverless functions. Testing frameworks like AWS SAM and serverless framework and tools like Artillery and Locust are employed for performance and load testing.
We ensure the effectiveness of serverless testing by focusing on critical components, using efficient testing tools, and applying best practices. This approach helps us deliver reliable results while optimizing resource usage.
