Does Testim support BDD with Cucumber? I’ve heard mixed answers—some say yes, some say no. I’m from a non-coding background, and nowadays there are so many AI testing tools like Testim. From what I heard, AI tools can help write test cases, and in Testim you don’t need to do any coding. It’s mostly drag-and-drop, and since it’s a web-based application, you don’t have to worry about frameworks, element capturing, or XPath—AI and the tool handle all that.Also, does Testim support REST API?Between AccelQ and Testim, which one is easier to learn? How’s the job market for these tools? I’ve heard only a few companies use them because of the high cost.

Traditional Intel core I5/I7 laptops are very slow when running LLM models locally. These laptops does not have GPU. hence slow performance is expected. Hence, planning to upgrade to a new Windows laptop where I could run LLM models with satisfactory performance. Again ultra high-end models would be very expensive.Can I please ask community members to share their experience and recommendations for Windows laptop  

Hello, I am facing issue, like. In my automation script I am using {ENTER} keyword in test steps. This working fine in my local machine (HOST), But in Remote machine when I am triggering the same test case its failing. The scenario is--Logs showing the test step as passed but actually its failing since tosca failed to find element from next window.

the issue of automating the JavaScript sign-in popup in Tosca, which resulted in the "could not find the window" error: Adding More Waiting Time: You increased the synchronization or wait time (e.g., via WaitOn or timeout settings) to allow the popup to load fully before interaction, hoping to resolve timing-related issues. Selecting the Modal Popup First Before Input: You added a step to select or activate the modal popup container before attempting to input data into the username and password fields, aiming to establish the correct context for subsequent actions. Editing Focus Properties in XScan to True: During the XScan process (using the UIA engine), you modified the focus properties of the scanned elements (e.g., setting focus to true) to ensure the fields were interactable, but this didn’t resolve the

I am trying to convert Business Test case which consists of noramal test cases into a Business Template Test Case. How the data parametrization should be implemented in this scenario.

Hi everyone,I’m looking to understand how customer service automation tools can be effectively integrated into quality engineering and testing workflows. Specifically, I’m interested in solutions that can streamline support processes, handle routine inquiries, and free up teams to focus on higher-value tasks, all without compromising service quality.Has anyone here implemented such tools in a QA or testing environment? I’d love to hear about your experiences, lessons learned, and any best practices you’ve found for balancing automation with human oversight.

A friend told me today that his teammates believe that AI is a solved problem and there is no risk to using AI to build their apps and indeed using AI in the app itself. And most people I know see many potential perils and pitfalls in GenAI/LLM tools and assistants. And, the teams I have been working with the last few years are not using any AI tools at all. I believe AI is here to stay and we all need to learn how to make it an effective part of our toolbox. But I’m concerned that there’s a perception out there that this is a done deal, we can safely use AI tools. What are other people seeing, thinking?

Agility and quickness are now essential in the rapidly changing field of software development; they are no longer optional. Today's businesses need frequent upgrades, quick releases, and a zero-tolerance policy for errors or performance problems. To meet these high expectations, Agile development teams have adopted a variety of tools and strategies to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality. Among the most impact of these strategies is Shift-Left Testing, a practice that is fundamentally changing the way software is tested and released.This post explores the concept of shift-left testing, why it matters in Agile environments, and how teams can implement it to achieve faster releases, better collaboration, and higher quality products.What is Shift-Left Testing?Traditionally, software testing is performed toward the end of the development lifecycle a

Since starting at ShiftSync, I’ve seen many people with experience in different fields and different backgrounds. I wanted to ask the community- How did you end up where you are today? What led up to this point in your career? I worked in several different industries before arriving at tech. English teaching, insurance, craft beer. Eventually I took a programming bootcamp and have been in the tech industry ever since. What are all your stories??

Hi everyone! I’m Victoria Novoa, the social media intern at Tricentis this summer.  I’m currently researching ideas for a potential project (purely hypothetical for now) would would explore how we could work with credible AI influencers to expand our thought leadership and reach.  Who are your favorite AI or ML influencers on LinkedIn or YouTube? I’m especially looking for people who: Talk about Agentic AI, autonomous testing, or generative AI Have big, engaged followings (preferably around 80k-300k followers)  Interact actively with their audience If you have any favorites, please share names, handles, or links- your input would really help!!! Thanks so much! Victoria Novoa
