Question

Introduce a performance testing tool & service

Can anyone introduce a performance testing tool that you feel good about. I am currently using this called PerfDog. It includes a deep analysis mode, offering in-depth insights into CPU scheduling, usage, thread running states, call stacks, and rendering screenshots. It allows me to pinpoint performance issues at the function or module level, enabling timely optimization and repairs. Additionally, PerfDog embraces collaboration with a web data management platform, facilitating multiple human collaboration analyses for comprehensive performance evaluation. I think its pretty good but I am also looking for something better, has anyone get the same experience as me? Or can you recommend me some other tools?

An alternative for SmartBear Test Complete

Hi,

We have been using Test Complete for the last 7 years to test our WPF desktop Windows applications and it works well. We have also recently integrated it with our GitHub actions to run the tests as part of our pipeline. The problem is that the latest license renewal prices from SmartBear have skyrocketed and so we have started looking for alternatives - preferably freeware/open source, but if not, something cheaper that will give us the same results. We will need to somehow convert our code/environment/CI to the new tool so it needs to support GitHub Actions. If there was some sort of conversion tool that would be a bonus. I would be happy to hear what other people think?

Thank you,

Ofer

Any experience with Perfdog for performance testing?

 

Hey Testing Community! 

Our QA team is currently exploring new tools for performance testing and PerfDog has caught our attention. They support Android, iOS, and Web platforms, also seems to integrate well with CI/CD pipelines.

We're now considering switching to PerfDog, but before we make a decision, we'd love to hear from anyone who has used it. Could you share your experiences, the pros and cons, and how it stacks up against other popular tools like JMeter?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

AI/ML Testing and Your Test Future (Part 2) AI/ML Testing and Your Test Future (Part 2)

AI, AI, AI—it is everywhere. We all read this in the news, see it in politics, in our web traffic, and now it’s coming to our tools. Interestingly, testing has been identified as one of the most essential areas for AI as well as for the safety of the public. This article considers references to start you on your AI test journey, "classic AI" problem areas, and identifies possible concepts to use when testing AI. As usual, it comes down to a willingness to learn new things or apply historical ideas to advance your test career.

How to Develop a Comprehensive Test Plan for Manual Testing?

Hello, everyone!

 

I've been working as a manual tester for over 3 years now, and I've encountered various challenges along the way. One of the most critical aspects that I feel often gets overlooked is developing a robust test plan. While Automated Testing gets much attention, especially in discussions about CI/CD pipelines, I believe that manual testing still plays an essential role in software development, especially for testing usability, exploring edge cases, and ensuring the quality of the final product.

 

I wanted to create a forum topic that delves into the intricate world of Manual Testing. Specifically, how do you go about creating a comprehensive test plan?

 

Here are some questions I have in mind:

 

Scope Definition: How do you define the scope of your manual testing? Do you strictly adhere to specifications and requirements, or do you also explore the application beyond that?

QA Automation Recommendation

Please, i am looking for quality education for manual testing (QA), but I don’t want to learn in groups of more than 20 to 30 people. Is there some online school where there are not more than 15-20 people in a group and a lot of practice? Can you share your experience with me pls? Thanks!!
