Testing is essential to the development process to ensure code quality and functionality. Testing can be performed manually or automated. Automated tests require less time to execute and are more efficient to run, so it’s a good idea to automate the test cases you plan to run repeatedly. This blog post will cover two of…
Testing the functionality and usability of the application is a critical part of software development. There are many approaches to application testing methods, like unit testing, functional testing, end-to-end (E2E) testing, integration testing, performance testing, and more. Testing is usually conducted with a script and automation framework that can fish out bugs and inconsistencies throughout…
It’s 2024 and AI is now a normal part of our lives, and especially of our work as testers. And the estimations are that AI usage in software testing will increase over time. Apart from AI testing tools, like Testim, which generate and maintain test cases, we can also use tools that are not designed…

Testim Playground was discontinued on June 26, 2023. We are preserving this post for your reference. As software development organizations shift-left, more of the testing responsibility is moving to developers. Developers are increasingly asked to create and manage GUI functional and end-to-end tests, often running on open-source test automation frameworks. Coding these tests takes time…
Predictive analytics is the use of historical data and statistics to predict future outcomes. It combines machine learning (ML), data analysis, artificial intelligence, and data models to identify patterns that forecast future outcomes. Companies use historical and present data to anticipate trends and behaviors seconds, days, or years in advance with great accuracy. Predictive analytics…
