What is Jest? Jest is an open source library for testing JavaScript code, maintained by Facebook. It’s more than another testing solution — It’s the complete package. It provides everything out of the box, from unit to front-end browser testing. You don’t need to add additional assertion libraries, mock functions or services. Let me walk through a handful of reasons why [...]
As the volume of testing increases in the software delivery lifecycle as part of the shift left movement, one of the biggest challenges facing development and testing teams is how to optimize resources. After all, time and infrastructure are very real constraints. And in the real world, It’s important to find ways to get the most test coverage with the infrastructure you have available. One [...]
As we know, parallel testing refers to the process of running multiple automated test scripts simultaneously against various configurations. This strategy provides numerous benefits that can assist a development organization in delivering a high-quality product without slowing the speed of delivery. It’s easy to understand the benefits of parallel testing. By running multiple tests at once, [...]
Inspired by International Women’s Day last month, we’re highlighting the contributions and expertise of the many talented women in the testing community. For the first post in this series, we interviewed Ashley Hunsberger to learn about her experience. Ashley is a key contributor to the community, speaking frequently at events like SeleniumConf, Agile Testing Days, SauceCon and more. [...]
In the bad old days of software development, developers and testers were placed on different teams and often siloed. This created frustration and long feedback loops as developers "threw" builds and features "over the wall" to testers on a different team. With the advent of modern software development practices, this is fortunately changing; testers and developers are working collaboratively, [...]
As part of the launch of Sauce Performance, a single solution for both front-end functional and front-end performance metrics, we developed Speedo. A tool that enables Sauce Performance to integrate with any CI/CD system. In our research, we found one of the biggest obstacles to getting started with shifting performance testing left was the lack of proper tooling and guides for best practices on [...]
Drum roll, please! We’ve been busy collecting nominations for the inaugural Saucy Awards to honor continuous testing excellence, and we’ve got an awesome list of finalists to announce. We created the Saucy Awards to celebrate the outstanding achievements of organizations leveraging automated testing and continuous delivery. Each one of our finalists has made a tangible impact on their [...]
Today, we’re happy to officially introduce Sauce Performance: a single solution for both front-end functional and front-end performance metrics that gives developers a more complete view of test environments without having to create new scripts or deploy new infrastructure. No third-party tools required, either!Sauce Performance uses root-cause analysis as part of front-end functional tests [...]
