With the growth and evolution of software, the need for effective testing has grown exponentially. Testing today’s applications requires an immense number of complex tasks, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the application’s architecture and functionality. A successful test team must have strong organizational skills to coordinate their efforts and time to ensure that

Generative AI is a rapidly growing field with the potential to revolutionize software testing. By using AI to generate test cases, testers can automate much of the manual testing process, freeing up time to focus on more complex tasks. One of the leading providers of generative AI for software QA is Appvance. Appvance’s platform uses

Using artificial intelligence (AI) in testing to visually expand the accessor pool increases accuracy, productivity, and almost completely eliminates maintenance. The number one reason test cases get re-written is that an accessor has changed.  Using AI and image recognition provides more ways to recognize that accessor, which improves the stability and reliability of the test.

For the better part of 20 years, the e-commerce QA test industry has known that every one-second delay in response, they can lose up to half the page audience. Not because the user bought somewhere else, but because they became distracted. Today’s distractions are probably much higher than they were when those original studies were

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence (AI), one of many, where it is trained on a very large set of data. After training, if you give it some direction, it generates something for you. It can generate an answer, text, a picture, or it might generate code. It generates things based on your

As business becomes increasingly digitized, it’s critical for teams to produce better quality, even as the complexity of applications to run your business on increases.

The Current State of Open Source Test Automation Tools Open source automation tools such as Selenium have been the workhorses of QA automation for decades, especially for web apps. With the birth of open source in the 1990’s, there was an explosion of activity around the potential of open code to deliver high-value tooling that

It’s the time of year to either look back or look ahead. I’m doing a bit of both, excited to hit the ground running in 2023. We are all excited about the opportunity and promise of the new year at Appvance, but it wouldn’t look as bright if we hadn’t accomplished a lot in 2022.
