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

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on integrating Generative AI into our test automation framework and could use some expert advice. Has anyone had experience using AI to enhance test case generation or maintenance? Any recommendations on best practices or tools would be greatly appreciated!

I recently completed my preparation for the ISTQB CTFL-Foundation exam, and one thing I noticed is that the topics that seem easy in theory can become confusing in actual exam questions.For example, concepts like:Test design techniques (e.g., equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis) Test levels and types Psychology of testing Risk-based testingLook simple in the syllabus, but when presented in scenario-based questions, many candidates hesitate because the wording can be tricky.Initially, I focused mainly on reading the syllabus and memorizing definitions, but that wasn’t enough to confidently answer situational questions in the CTFL exam format. What helped most was practicing topic-wise questions and reviewing explanations of both correct and incorrect options.Another challenge many face is exam timing. If you’re not used to exam-style questions, you might spend too much time on some scenarios. My suggestion for CTFL aspirants:Try practicing questions from P2PExams in a time

Fiori application scanning of a drop down used to show the element type as ‘Dropdown’ before but now it is showing as ‘Input’ like a text field. We can scan the element, but the drop-down options are no longer showing for selection in TOSCA (which they were used to properly show before). This is blocking the scripting as entering a text in Dropdown is not possible.

Delegation of the tasks is important.This helps you to focus on important things for you in testing. Also, it helps others an opportunity to work on something different from their reglat tasks.Now, being a testers/lead/manager you might have delegated tasks to others.Which task(s) did you deleagte?And what worked well?

For our new product, I have the Figma design and not having requirement document. In this figma design, I have more detailing. How can I convert the design to test scenarios and script in a easy way and also how we can automate the same since manual effort is huge for this

 September 9th is here, and that means it’s time to congratulate all QA professionals on their special day. Happy Testers’ Day! 💙Why today? On September 9, 1947, a dead moth was found stuck in a relay of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator. This caused a malfunction and went down in history as the very first “computer bug.” 🐛We, ​@Daria  ​@PolinaKr and ​@Mustafa (aka the ShiftSync team), want to celebrate all QA specialists and QA-to-be’s in our community and beyond.To help you grow, we’ve started building on-demand courses, like this one with Rahul Parwal  👉 Now we want to hear from you:👉 Which topics would you love us to create courses on?👉 What skills do you need to become an even better tester?Your input will directly shape the learning opportunities we build for you. 🚀Happy Testers’ Day once again. Let’s keep learning, testing, and growing together!

With AI transforming how we test and learn, I’ve found that staying curious—and plugged into the right spaces—makes all the difference. Personally, I’m always exploring:Shiftsync for its vibrant discussions Tosca support hub for troubleshooting and deep dives Ministry of Testing for insightful articles and community vibes LinkedIn (especially testing and software engineering mentors or leaders) for real-world wisdom Weekly testing newsletters for bite-sized updates Automation Guild podcasts for inspiration on the go Conferences by Rahul Shetty & The Test Tribe for networking and new ideas Udemy & YouTube courses whenever I want to quickly upskill or fill knowledge gaps Books as well.  There is a recent one by James Bach and Bolton -Taking Testing Seriously which I’m planning to have hands-on soon. But everyone has their own secret sauce for continuous growth and learning—so I’d love to hear what’s working for you!What are your favorite resources, tools, or communities helping y

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, has anyone experiance with the automation of an application created with teh Vaadin framework?https://vaadin.com/ We are struggeling with the identification of the gui objects. Thanks,Volker

The error wat am getting whole triggering the events please make sure that you are authorised to access the service endpoint https//tricentis.host:443/automationobjectservice/Events. This is the error am receiving. I have checked the dex setup , authenticated the api tokens and have given the access tokens to the agent restarted the dex execution services checked the server details inside the commander all the Authorization everything is correct and inside the agent machine the communication is also working. But still this error is triggering .  Can I get a step by step solution why this error is triggering. Even though the SSL certificates everything is correct 

We have a scenario with two dropdowns. Based on the selections made in both dropdowns, the third field is sometimes enabled or disabled. Instead of using an IF statement with a condition, we attempted to pass the condition directly. For the third field: We entered the value as Enabled -> <name> and set the Action Mode to Buffer. For the same third field (copied and pasted), we passed the condition as {B[name]} == "TRUE" and entered the text value in the Test Step Value column with the Action Mode set to Input.
