Load Testing Metrics: How to Verify Success of Performance Testing
One of the major problems affecting a website’s performance and competitiveness is its inability to cope with the burden of heavy traffic. This in turn leads to an inability to meet all users’ demands without cracks, temporary display errors or response speed. Consequently, the burden on the site is essential in determining its success and […]
Using a REST Request Emulator in a Real-life Project
A large governmental enterprise that processes a huge amount of various documents has recently approached us. We had to organize the autonomous testing process of key subsystems, which comprise the automated information system. Moreover, we couldn’t use an out-of-box solution (client’s specification), so we had to develop a custom tool that would satisfy the client’s requirements.
Testing Environment for Performance and Load Testing
In any software development project, it is critical to carry out test plans that guarantee that the application’s performance requirements are met. From the most obvious perspective, performance tests are a set of tests that allow us to measure the speed of execution of a series of tasks in a system under certain conditions. To […]

Unit Testing vs Integration Testing
Every software functions thanks to communication processes between modules. While a project team is working on the build release, knowing that the basic app blocks function well when put together is essential. That’s why tech companies run integration testing. As an alternative, there’s unit testing — it’s smaller in scale and cheaper, and allows to […]
What Is User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for Websites? Definition & Examples
A user acceptance test is the final stop in the software testing process and one of the most important stages. It helps ensure that the system is intuitive enough for a user to navigate it effortlessly, it meets the audience’s expectations, and caters to its needs.
Find out how to approach user acceptance testing, how it fits in the overall testing process, what types of activities QA specialists perform as a part of UAT, and what steps are needed to complete acceptance testing are.
Importance of Software Testing Documentation
Data storage and management lie at the core of software testing. It’s important to keep track of test cases and user scenarios, record bugs, and remember standard practices. If the team keeps clear logs of each testing activity, it will pay off well in the long run, reducing the amount of repetitive work. Test Documentation […]
