Bringing innovation to software testing helps in delivering the highest quality code and developing better digital products. Piotr (QA Engineer) will present the innovations in the area of automated testing that are worth following in 2023.

Most Startups fail because they overlook basic business challenges and rush to market. Product designers and investors desire speedy development, but it’s essential to strike a balance, especially considering unavoidable software bugs.

Apache Log4j is a Java-based logging utility, that is part of the Apache Logging Services, a project of the Apache Software Foundation. On December 9, 2021, a zero-day vulnerability involving arbitrary code execution in Log4j 2 was discovered by Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba Cloud Security Team and disclosed via the project´s GitHub repository and given the descriptor „Log4Shell”. Tenable characterized it as „the single biggest, most critical vulnerability of the last decade”.

Thanks to this technology, you can not only automate tests but also speed up other processes in the project. In this article, you will learn why automation is so important, why we decided on such a solution, and how we dealt with the problems we encountered along the way.

From this article, you will learn step by step how to run automated tests with CI/CD managed by GitHub Actions together with a test runner able to deal with your private services deployed in an AWS VPC (virtual private cloud).
You will see how powerful is the combination of AWS Code Build and K6 tools in a case when automated performance testing is a must-have.

Does being a QA engineer mean that you get paid for complaining? Is nitpicking an actual part of your job? Here’s how a QA superhero’s day looks at the fireup.pro HQ. It might help you especially if you’re just beginning your adventure with QA. If you fully understand what this position entails, you can truly help your colleagues.

As a QA, I have to admit the last day at work before holidays is a disaster. But it is not as bad as when I am sick and I’m not able to work at all for a few days. And that is a complete catastrophe! Is there any way to deal with QA absence?

Test automation is seen as the next step from manual testing on the test development path. The popularity of such solutions and the positive associations they invoke (eg technological advancement) prove their universal demand. However, before implementing this solution at home, it is worth considering what automation can really give us, and what we will not achieve thanks to it.

Your phone is filled with a lot of applications. Everyone has, uses and knows them. They are useful and no one can do without them. Mobile applications occupy the memory of our smartphones, requesting updates. In addition, they can slow down and often break down when there is no direct access to the Internet.

Each of us Testers has at least once met someone who has asked this question. As well as asking why automatic tests are needed in a project at all. And so begins the arduous task of convincing the skeptic. Let’s not beat about the bush – the fact someone would ask such a question shows how little they grasp the topic. Read this article about automated tests.
