Quality Assurance (QA)

Contract Testing

A testing approach that checks how different services communicate with each other. It helps ensure microservices stay compatible without full end-to-end tests.

k6

A load testing tool used to measure how systems perform under heavy traffic. It is often applied to test API performance before production releases.

JSTQB certification(s)

A set of certifications that validate knowledge of software testing principles. They are based on international testing standards.

Maestro

A mobile testing framework that automates user flows across applications. It is often used for end to end testing of mobile apps.

Snapshot Testing

A testing technique that compares current output against a saved reference. It is commonly used in front-end and component testing.

Reqnroll

A testing framework that supports behavior driven development practices. It helps teams write tests in a human readable format.

TestCafe

A testing framework used to automate end to end tests for web applications. It runs tests directly in real browsers.

ReadyAPI

A platform used to test API performance security and functionality. It combines functional load and security testing.

Locust

A load testing tool that simulates user traffic to measure system performance. It is commonly used to test web applications and APIs.

REST Assured

A library used to test and validate REST APIs. It simplifies writing readable API tests in Java.

Vitest

A modern JavaScript and TypeScript testing framework designed to work seamlessly with Vite. It’s primarily used for unit and integration testing and is known for being very fast, easy to configure, and familiar to developers who’ve used Jest.

Gherkin

Gherkin is the format for cucumber specifications. It is a domain specific language which helps you to describe business behavior without the need to go into detail of implementation.

BlazeMeter

BlazeMeter is a cloud-based performance testing platform that allows organizations to test the scalability and performance of their web applications, APIs, and other software. BlazeMeter provides tools for load testing, performance testing, and stress testing to help developers and DevOps teams ensure their applications can handle high levels of traffic without performance issues.

Scenario testing

Scenario testing is a software testing activity that uses scenarios: hypothetical stories to help the tester work through a complex problem or test system.

A/B testing

A method of comparing two versions of a web page/app against each other to determine which one performs better. It uses data and statistics to validate new design changes and improve conversion rates.

Ab Initio

Ab Initio are special testing tools and utilities ensure reducing coding errors and helps to fulfill end-to-end testing requirements.

Ad-Hoc Distribution (Mobile)

Ad Hoc Distribution allows you to distribute apps to up to 100 iOS devices for beta testing. It is available on both the Apple Developer Program and the Apple Developer Enterprise Program.

Appium

An open source test automation framework for use with native, hybrid and mobile web apps. Appium is cross-platform: it allows you to write tests against multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows), using the same API. This enables code reuse between iOS, Android, and Windows testsuites.

Arquillian

A framework that simplifies integration testing for Java middleware, it works with plumbing of container management, deployment, and framework initialization, has three major sections: test runners, containers, and test enrichers.

AutoIt

BASIC-like script language for automation in Windows, on which you can automate routine work (creating bots). AutoIt was initially designed for PC “roll out” situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs.

Automation Testing

A software verification process in which the basic functions and test steps, such as starting, initializing, executing, analyzing and outputting the result, are performed automatically using tools for automated testing.

Avo Assure

Avo Assure is a continuous testing platform that provides end-to-end test automation with a no-code approach. It is versatile and compatible with various technologies, enabling testing on web, mobile, ERP systems, mainframes, Salesforce, and beyond, covering over 200+ technologies.

Baseline testing

A type of non-functional testing which is generally performed by testing engineers. As this is related to benchmarking, it is also known as benchmark testing. This test forms the base for other testing to compare the performance of a new application or unknown application with a known standard of reference.

Bazel

A software development tool for build and test automation. Bazel allows you to optimize performance, e.g. it speeds up tests and builds by rebuilding only necessary parts, it is also scalable and can be extended with additional features to suit your needs. It is also cross-platform and supports a variety of languages.

Behat

A framework that supports development according to the BDD concept. Its feature is that it allows you to write well-read tests that are easy to understand even for programmers. Because of its multilayeredness, a programmer who has not previously used Behat may need more time to write tests and understand this tool.
