Hello,I'm a college student, trying to gather more and more knowledge about test automation with AI. That's why I chose Testim, but my free trial expired already, so I can't try all the AI-powered functionalities Testim can offer.My question is, if it's possible to run a web-app over localhost in Testim, to which I've implemented mutation tests? I'm aware that in the free plan there's only the Testim cloud grid, but still I'd love to reproduce the auto improve functionality of this Testool with my error-filled local code of the web-app. I've written tests with the localhost's URL as the starting point (my server built with Node.js and Express and gets run before the automated tests), but instead of the auto improved steps I get a warning that the locators have significantly changed. That's not quite the auto improve behaviour I'm looking for or the one displayed in the documentation. Would someone be nice enough to lend me some of their thoughts on the matter and how I could trigger th

Can anyone provide an example of how to validate data in an Excel sheet downloaded via a TestIM test case?I viewed the example provided here, but it only shows the means to extract the number of sheets in the spreadsheet and the title of the sheets, it does not provide an example of how to retrieve values from a cell (the value at cell A3 of the sheet) for example?I’m rather new at creating custom actions so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone knows specific tests to be done while testing the Enterprise Browser TEsting?

Hey Shiftsync community! 👋 I hope you're all having a fantastic Friday. Today, I want to dive into a topic that has been a hot debate in the tech world for a long time – should we deploy on Fridays? 📅 Opinions on this matter are as diverse as our favorite programming languages, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and stories on this! Here's my take: I'm a firm believer that Fridays are a day for wrapping up the week, reflecting on accomplishments, and preparing for a well-deserved weekend. Rushing a deployment at the end of the week might lead to increased stress, last-minute issues, and the risk of having to work over the weekend to resolve unforeseen problems. That being said, I know some teams who swear by Friday deployments, arguing that it allows them to catch and address issues promptly, should they arise. They claim it gives them a head start on Monday, and it aligns with agile principles of continuous delivery. So, what's your perspective? 🤷‍♂️👍 Do you advocate for Friday de

DevOps ways of working are designed to both accelerate the flow of work and simultaneously improve the quality, reliability and scalability of digital products. But research data suggests this hasn’t yet worked for everyone and that the majority of organisations are stalling in their implementations, unable to reach higher levels of capability. Where are you at with DevOps in your organization? Is it everything you hoped it would be? (Best answer wins a copy of Investments Unlimited!)

When you learn a programming language you usually do not learn it for a very narrow and specific purpose. Or do you?Do you think that you can say that there is somenthing like Java for testers? And if there is what does that mean? What do you learn?

What do you spend more time doing during a day?Writing new tests? Fixing old tests?

Hey everyone, so I have a question for all of you. Recently, I have started my first ever Meetup group and before that I already went to couple of developer meetups, but I was wondering what do usually expect on the Meetups you are attending (two standard talks + networking afterwards or just one longer presentation)? Also are there any testing Meetups you are attending/enjoying?  

Hi Community, I would like to know how the security testing is performed and Is there any tools whichis used to scan the code and identify the vulnerabilities in the code.

What are Tasks and Subtasks in Jira Used for? Give an example to explain the context.

This is a question that I get asked a lot, especially from people outside of the IT Industry.How do you answer this?  

Hi Community, I think the topic has been in debate for long. I think captcha cannot be automated and we should ask the dev team to remove it as it is designed to identify it is are used as security checks todeter spammers and hackers from using forms on web pages.But there are certain chrome windgets like buster which can resolve the captcha. kindly let me knowyour thoughts.

What are some of the steps that helped you implement security testing effectively into your testing?

Open source projects are always considered as dev-only contribution repos. is there any possible way that testers can also contribute to it?

How are the points added and how can I check the tally against my activities?

Hi Community, I would like to know what models do you use in your testing work? Which one do you find useful?  I heard a lot about HTSM model by James Bach. Do you use it? 🤔

I’m new to games testing , so I was wondering if there are any tools out there which uses re-enforced learning or ML to navigate through the game ?The game is being developed in Unity and I know Unity has tools to script automated tests but I’m more looking for tools which automatically would be able to traverse the game.  is there a tool out there which would do this?

I want to ask a question that is both simple and complex to answer: How do you write your test cases?Why do I say it is simple?Well I mean according to some definitions testers write test cases and since they do it often it should be easy. Also there is a ton of information online on how to write a test case, what should it contain, so again, easy and simple.Why do I say it is complex?Well, a PM once told me that the tests should be written in such a way that a person coming from the street should be able to run them. I mean that is not impossible to do but it will take time, a lot of time. One has to find a way to explain concepts that are not really in the day to day dictionary ( API for example).I think that they want somenthing like this When tests steps are really clear - YouTube 16What do you think? How do you do it?

If I want to implement an error budget for my project, who would the stakeholders be that we would need to consider reaching out to?
