Has anyone submitted a feature request to Tricentis that has been acknowledged in any way or implemented? I have submitted several qTest related requests, going back a year or so, they do not appear on their portal to indicate their status and I have not heard a peep regarding any of those requests. It feels like Im throwing them into a black hole, and discourages me from submitting any more.  

Has anyone else used qTest Explorer to capture test evidence, or write test cases? How do you use it? At first glance, it sounds like a great idea, simply starting and stopping a session, saving testers the time it takes to grab multiple screenshots. However, I have found it becomes difficult to support with multiple users and a few key issues have me leaning towards abandoning it altogether.In multiple monitor setups, the screen captures can be cropped if the display settings dont match across monitors. If typing in text fields, it captures one screenshot per typed character (which makes the session incredibly difficult to navigate  and almost not usable). In addition to the above, we have experienced many little issues, like sessions not ending properly, the recording wheel not appearing on screen, users having to enable pop-ups in their browser during first execution, etc.Explorer was a great idea, but my honest opinion is that it was poorly executed.Side note: We are using Desktop

HI, What’s UserID i need to give before starting the Quiz.? 

I saw this meme and… yeah, this is exactly what working with AI feels like right now 😅You finally get comfortable with one update…maybe even feel a little confident using it…And then:“New update”“Newest update”“Tomorrow’s update”At some point you just sit there like:“Wait… am I even using the right version anymore?” 😂I’ve caught myself going down the rabbit hole of trying to keep up with everything…and honestly, it’s exhausting.Lately, I’ve been approaching it differently:Instead of chasing every new release,I focus on understanding what actually changes and how it impacts my work.Because the truth is:Most updates don’t change everything… but they do change something that matters.And that’s where the real value is.Curious how others are handling this pace—Are you trying to keep up with every update, or just focusing on what’s relevant?#AI #TechLife #ContinuousLearning #SoftwareTesting #QualityEngineering

Hello!sorry to bother you all… it looks like I’m not enabled to use official support channels. Unfortunately, I missed the Detecting and Preventing LLM Hallucinations webinar, which could be very interesting for my work. Is there any way to get the recording?Thank you so much!

With a normal API or UI you test deterministic systems — same input, same output, every time. AI agents break that contract completely. The same prompt can produce different reasoning paths, different tool call sequences, and different outputs across runs. That non-determinism is the core challenge. Ηοw would you test this system? A question that sparks the skills needed for testers in the new era!

A malicious file labeled “2026_Salary_Increase.pdf.exe” was opened by a large portion of employees — including the Incident Response team. Let that sink in. This isn’t about lack of intelligence. It’s about how easily human psychology can be exploited:Curiosity (salary increase)Urgency (what if I’m missing out?) Trust in familiar file naming patterns Key takeaways for teams: • File extensions still matter — .pdf.exe is a red flag• Security awareness training must be continuous, not one-off• Even security teams need realistic phishing simulations• Technology alone won’t save you — behavior will The real vulnerability isn’t the system. It’s the assumption that “this wouldn’t fool me.” When was the last time your organization tested this?#CyberSecurity #Phishing #SecurityAwareness #InfoSec #QA #RiskManagement 

A few years ago, I was proud of a UI automation suite I built.Hundreds of tests.Clean reports.Everything green.Until production started failing.Users reported errors we had never seen.But our UI tests were still passing.So I went deeper.Instead of clicking through the UI, I started testing the APIs directly.That’s when things became obvious:• The API returned inconsistent data• Some responses were missing critical fields• Error handling was completely broken• Edge cases were never validatedThe UI was masking all of it.It handled errors silently.It retried requests.It hid failures behind “friendly messages.”Our UI tests were verifying the illusion of stability.Not the system itself.That changed how I approach testing.Now I start with APIs:→ Validate contracts→ Break requests intentionally→ Test edge cases early→ Then verify UI behaviorBecause if the foundation is broken…Testing the surface won’t help.Do you start testing from the UI or the API?

It’s easy to jump too far in the future and imagine what AI will look like and how it may help us do all the things.However, in reality, we have to take steps towards a future that (may) look like that.What tedious, boring or repetitive tasks are you actually using AI for? (or plan to in the near future)

Hi everyone, I’m James, a pentester focused on web application and API security. I spend most of my time exploring vulnerabilities and real attack paths. For the past few years, I’ve been building ZeroThreat AI, an automated pentesting tool with exploit validation and agentic AI testing capabilities. I joined the community to share ideas, learn from others, and discuss how security testing is evolving from manual to automated, and then with agentic AI tools. Ciao!!!!

I once tested a password reset feature. Everything worked.Emails sent correctly.Tokens expired properly. But out of curiosity I tried something strange.I requested 100 password resets in 10 seconds. The system happily sent them all.That meant anyone could spam users with reset emails. Not a typical functional bug.But definitely a security and abuse issue.Sometimes testing means asking unusual questions like:"What happens if someone abuses this feature?" QA is not just about correctness.It's about resilience. Have you ever tested rate limits intentionally? 

One of the biggest lessons in my QA career came from a failed automation suite. We had hundreds of tests.Great coverage.Fast execution.But production still had bugs. Why?...........................Because our tests verified features, not user behavior. Real users behaved differently.They navigated unpredictably.They refreshed pages.They switched devices. Automation eventually improved when we started designing tests around user journeys instead of components. Automation should mirror how real people use the product.Do your tests reflect real user behavior?

Early in my automation career I believed something dangerous:"If automation passes, the system is safe."One release proved me wrong.All tests were green.CI pipeline passed.Deployment happened.Minutes later support reported users couldn't complete checkout.The issue?Our automation mocked the payment service.The real integration had changed.Automation verified the mock, not the system.That moment changed how I design tests.Now I always ask:Are we testing reality?Or just a simulation?Automation should reduce risk.But only if it tests real system behavior.Have you ever seen automation give a false sense of security? 

Hi Team,We are planning to conduct a PoC for a Salesforce project. We would like to understand Tosca’s capabilities for Salesforce automation, including its support for rapid automation. Can anyone share your experiences with us.Thanks,Sudha

Hey all!I would like to buffer a regex value. I have a very long payload with customer data and I’d like to extract only the customer’s number. This whole payload is stored in “Result”. I have built this regex: {REGEX["customerNumber":"[0-9]+"]}And I want to store this extraction into a buffer.Anyone can support please? Thank you!

Please see below steps taken in the screenshot.I am getting below error message. Please advise.

On the ShiftSync website (https://shiftsync.tricentis.com/), I keep getting logged out every other day. Even when I select “Remember Me” before login, it doesn’t work, when I open the site, the default dashboard is visible and I have to click the Login CTA again and re-enter my credentials.Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or is it just happening to me?

In many workplaces, feedback becomes a routine activity. Meetings happen. Forms get filled. Comments are recorded. But expectations stay unclear, examples are missing, and next steps are vague. Over time, feedback turns into a process to complete rather than a responsibility to grow.A more useful way to think about feedback is as a learning tool, not a policy requirement. Effective feedback is grounded in facts, considers context, makes expectations explicit, and focuses on behavior rather than personality. Most importantly, it leads to clear actions and ongoing conversations, not one-time events.This shift is especially relevant in testing and engineering teams, where intent is usually good, but outcomes often fall short. Without structure and clarity, even well-meant feedback fails to create progress.Sharing this here to encourage reflection and discussion on how feedback is given, received, and used for real growth within teams.https://ujjwalkumarsingh.substack.com/p/feedback-from-p
