Do you do security testing?

"Security testing isn’t just about preventing hacks.It’s about earning trust."(Ever heard of a more important KPI?)Here’s the truth:Most companies only think about security after a breach.By then, it’s too late.Here’s a better approach:1️⃣ Think like an attacker.If you can spot vulnerabilities before they do, you’re already ahead.2️⃣ Make it a habit, not a project.Security testing isn’t a “one and done.” It’s a mindset.3️⃣ Involve your entire team.Your developers, testers, and even marketing teams can play a role in strengthening your defenses.A breach costs more than just money.It costs reputation, customer trust, and sometimes even careers.Here’s my challenge to you:What’s one thing your team can do this week to improve security?Drop your ideas in the comments. Let’s inspire some action.

Webinar recap 🎥 - Is Generative AI taking over Testing?Blog

Below is a recap of our webinar with @dave Colwell, the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning VP at Tricentis. You can view the original in the link below, just be sure that you’re logged in 🙂 Is Generative AI taking over testing? David Colwell webinar recapThe 3 main questions Why do we need AI? How can we use AI? How do we test AI? 1. Why do we need AI? Before we begin, we need to address the idea of the human attention span. Take a moment to consider these facts about attention across various demographics: A human’s attention span, put simply, is not good. It gets even worse when you start putting multiple screens in front of someone, a common scenario for many of us today. We’ve found that the average person can hold roughly 7 pieces of information in their working memory at a time, give or take. With apps like TikTok and other distraction-heavy apps on the rise, this stat doesn’t seem like it’s going to improve any time soon. So how does this relate to AI? Consider w

What are the QA trends that you are seeing right now?

People always make trends posts about 2024 2025 etc and they all have the same trends on them. AI Automation Performance etc …So my questions towards you is what are you seeing right now as a trend? What’s popped up more often?For me it would be A11Y - Accessibility testing, I see more and more people investing into it, many posts of it online. It might just be due to me not having much experience in it compared to other things.What are you spotting?

Could you share your experiences using AI-based tools for automating test maintenance and self-healing scripts? Are there any free solutions that offer these features?

As test suites grow, maintaining automated tests and handling script breakages can become challenging, especially with frequent application updates. I've read about AI-based tools that automate test maintenance and implement self-healing capabilities, which adapt scripts to changes in the UI or functionality.Could you share your experiences using these AI-driven solutions for automating test maintenance? Specifically, I'm curious about:How effective they’ve been in reducing manual intervention for script fixes Any free tools or open-source alternatives you've tried and their limitations How these tools integrate with existing automation frameworksI’d love to hear about any success stories or challenges you’ve faced while using them!

What tools or approaches would you use to simulate simultaneous requests?

You're testing a payment gateway API responsible for handling financial transactions. Its primary function is to ensure that funds are transferred only when the account balance of the user is sufficient. In the test cycle, the following scenario was observed.Two simultaneous requests from two different devices for the same transaction-drawing money, for example, ₹10,000-an API processes both requests, deducting ₹20,000 from the account while it holds only ₹15,000.

How can we add this PDF editable feature to our web and mobile application so that changes saved will be directly written on our database?

We are building a stand-alone web and mobile application that, when finished, will require one of our order modules to have as one of its features an editable PDF. Since the third-party PDF editor we could find already supports a strong ability to edit-the specifics being Adobe Acrobat-we are challenged with how we will ensure that changes the user saves will be written into our application database rather than into the third-party editor system.Our development team is facing an impasse in the effort to implement this functionality. Do you have suggested approaches or tools allowing PDF editing with direct data saving to our database? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or best practices you could share.
