Do you have a question about NeoLoad? Join our upcoming NeoLoad Q&A session.IntroductionTricentis NeoLoad’s RealBrowser feature enables performance testers to execute load tests using real web browser instances. This approach captures true end-user experience metrics (like full page render times and Core Web Vitals) without the need for manually correlating dynamic parameters. However, leveraging RealBrowser effectively requires some advanced techniques and careful configurations. This article explores best practices for RealBrowser scripting, highlights common pitfalls, and provides strategies for optimal configuration and performance debugging. The goal is to help intermediate to advanced testers design robust browser-based load tests that accurately measure performance while avoiding common mistakes.Keep it Performance-Focused (Not Functional Testing)One of the first principles when using NeoLoad RealBrowser is to remember that it’s a performance testing tool, not a functional U

In our previous article, we explored the "Silent Struggle" of QA: how your critical work often goes unnoticed compared to the more visible output of developers and product managers. If you would like to refresh how to make your work visible, check out our previous article. We have already mentioned that helping your managers solve their problems is one of the most effective ways to grow. Now we will go deeper into that and break down a real-life example. What does leadership typically care about most? Speed, cost, risk, and compliance. If you are the one who solves problems related to these issues, it will certainly make you stand out. Below you will see typical QA problems (perhaps you’ve faced them in your workplace) and solutions to them. A little spoiler – the solution is automation, and the data is based on a three-year enterprise study that you can check out below. Problem #1: Slow software releases  Manual testing processes create bottlenecks. Testing cycles can take weeks, dela

After attending Oracle AI World, one thing is clear: Oracle is all in on AI. From embedded agents across Fusion Applications to the AI-native Oracle Database and OCI’s massive model-training capabilities, Oracle is positioning itself as the platform where enterprise AI comes to life.The energy was infectious. Every session, demo, and conversation carried a sense of acceleration: faster decisions, faster workflows, faster innovation. But beneath the excitement, one question kept coming up in my mind (and in quiet side conversations with customers and prospects):How do we move fast with AI without breaking what’s already working?That’s where Tricentis comes in. (Learn how in our webinar, Future-proof your Oracle automation.)Ensuring confidence in Oracle’s AI-powered worldAs Oracle weaves AI deeper into its ecosystem, the complexity of change multiplies. New agents, new data pipelines, and new user experiences mean constant updates and constant risk: of broken processes, data discrepancie

Functional testers of Oracle applications – whether Oracle Fusion Cloud or E-Business Suite – often face tight timelines and frequent UI changes. This week’s tip shows a practical way to use Tricentis Tosca’s AI-powered capabilities to accelerate and strengthen your functional testing of Oracle apps. We’ll focus on Vision AI, Tosca’s AI engine, and how it lets you create and run tests earlier and more resiliently. Let’s dive in!Test Oracle Updates Early Using Vision AIOracle Fusion updates roll out quarterly, and you typically get only a short window (about two weeks) to test changes in a staging environment. But did you know you can start building your automated tests weeks earlier? With Tosca’s Vision AI, you can create test cases from Oracle’s UI prototypes (the previews in Oracle’s Upgrade Readiness documentation) before the actual update is live. In simple terms, Tosca’s AI can look at a screenshot or mock-up of the new Oracle UI and identify buttons, fields, and labels just like

"We're about to start a huge project. We'll look into automation after it's done."  Reality:This is the perfect time. Research shows that the biggest cost savings come from reusing test assets. By building tests correctly at the start of a major project, you create a reusable library.An enterprise study revealed that reusing 1,000+ test cases in a future upgrade led to an ROI of over 370%. Implementing automation after the project means you've already done all that work manually, and will have to redo it later at double the cost. Moral: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is at the start of a big project.  Check out the source here Want to learn more about Oracle? Join our group here!

Performance testing is a critical part of delivering quality software, regardless of whether your team follows traditional waterfall release cycles or agile sprints. In both methodologies, neglecting performance can lead to unpleasant surprises in production. This guide explores how to plan effective performance test scenarios using Tricentis NeoLoad, covering why performance testing matters, the types of performance tests, the concept of think time, and how NeoLoad’s scenario design features (user paths, populations, and scenarios) can be leveraged. We’ll also discuss best practices demonstrated in a recent Tricentis expert session webinar, continuous performance testing strategies, and aligning tests with business goals for maximum impact.Why Performance Testing Matters in Both Agile and WaterfallNo matter your development methodology, performance testing should never be an afterthought. In a classic waterfall model, testing often gets squeezed at the end of a long development cycle

It was my first interview.I had worked for a company for 7 years. Then I decided to explore opportunities.I successfully cleared 2 rounds of technical interviews.The hiring manager appreciated my testing skills. We discussed automation frameworks. I could tell he made the decision to hire me. Great feeling!The manager asked me to wait in a discussion room.After a few minutes, the HR executive walked in.She asked a few questions related to my previous experience. She talked about the current salary package.Then she asked for an expected package.I was clueless. I did not think about it. I said ‘As per industry standard’.She said “yes”. Immediately. I was very happy. I accepted the offer. Joined the company.Three months later, I had a discussion over tea with my teammate. Same role, similar experience. His package was way higher than mine. The difference? He negotiated. I didn't.That tea tasted bitter.What's actually happeningNow I have 20 years of experience. I am a Test Manager. I have

Argument 4 “Our team isn’t technical enough to handle test automation”Reality: The whole point of modern codeless and model-based automation tools is to eliminate the coding barrier. Enterprise research revealed that the testing team required less than a week of training per person to fully master the tool.  Afterwards, a single tester could build a robust test case in just a few hours: a task that previously required 2-3 developer-level resources and took up to a week.  Moral: You don't need to be technical. You need the right tool.    Check out the source here Want to learn more about Oracle? Join our group here!

Exploratory testing can feel like a software adventure – you wander through an app, poke at features, and see what surprises pop up. This week’s tip shows how AI can be your friendly sidekick on that adventure. We’ll explain what exploratory testing is, then explore how AI tools (like ChatGPT) can help you generate clever test ideas, write test charters, and even document your findings. Let’s dive in!What is Exploratory Testing?Exploratory testing is a flexible, dynamic approach to software testing. Instead of following a strict script of predefined test cases, you explore the software in real time, learning and adjusting as you go. Testers use their intuition and creativity to try various flows and inputs, identifying bugs that scripted tests might miss. In essence, it’s the art of simultaneously designing and executing tests on the fly, which makes it great for uncovering hidden issues in ways formal testing might not.Think of exploratory testing like freestyle jazz: you have a gener
