We could say automation is the whole raison d’être for software development. As developers, we seek to employ automation in order to solve problems with more efficiency than before. And we solve problems not only for our clients or employers but also for ourselves. We write scripts and software utilities to automate the packaging and…

Selenium bills itself as a tool to automate browsers. That kind of tool is critical for today’s continuous integration web development workflow. When you’re shipping code hours after a developer writes it, you need to be sure it works. The best way to do that is to automate tests that run against your application on…
Applications have come a long way in making your life better. Single sign-on (SSO) is one such thing that not only makes signing in or signing up easy but also secures the way you do it. But if you’re on the application building side, you need to make sure that the SSO functionality works as…
Auto grouping is an industry-first feature that enables you to maximize step reuse in your Automate project. Testim will periodically scan your project and look across your tests for duplicated sequences of steps. These sequences will be grouped, parameterized as needed, and sorted, so you can decide which ones are best converted to shared groups…

Testing is an important part of the software development process. You should test your Angular apps at various stages of development. Angular integration testing is just as important as unit testing and end-to-end (E2E) testing. Using Angular integration testing, you can test two or more units of an Angular app that work together to perform…
End-to-end testing (E2E testing) is arguably the most misunderstood type of software testing out there. It’s also one of the most important ones. Why? Because it’s the type of testing that most closely resembles the experience of a real user working with the application. We’ve already published an introductory guide to E2E testing. Today, we…
Testim Labs is a fresh way for VIP customers to get early access to new features. Labs will initially showcase three early release features: Auto Grouping, for test step deduplication; Accessibility testing for determining if your site is compliant with accessibility guidelines; and Test Flow View, which provides a visual flow representation of the tests….
Your company is going Agile. Now everyone talks about frequent and iterative deployments. If you’re a tester or QA person, that can scare you about what your world will look like. Will you be expected to test a codebase that changes daily with no breaks or time to breathe? Alternatively, you’ve heard that some teams…
