End-to-end testing is a vital part of a test strategy for #ecommerce platforms, ensuring that all integrated parts of an application work as expected. A seamless user experience - from adding items to the cart to completing the checkout process - is essential to avoid losing sales. One of the most popular automated end-to-end testing frameworks for test automation is Detox. Its use case ranges from: 🔎 Mobile applications that require cross-platform testing. 🔎 Projects where end-to-end user flows are crucial and need to be verified continuously. 🔎 Development teams using React Native or apps with significant native module integration. 🔎 Scenarios where performance and test stability are important due to complex user interactions. 🔗 Our experts have written a comprehensive Detox guide which explores the benefits of using Detox for end-to-end testing - link is in the comments. #Detox #MobileAutomation #React #spriteCloud #ecommerce

Test Automation Engineers are increasingly expected to have a basic understanding of DevOps practices. #DevOps and #DevSecOps integrate automation into the pipeline, allowing you to leverage many of the same techniques you master as a Test Automation Engineer. However in DevSecOps, the focus shifts to both quality AND security. Our very own Murilo Machado took the leap from Test Automation Engineer to DevSecOps Engineer, and has been helping guide our team at spriteCloud to reach new heights in their career! Security is a critical part of the SDLC that needs attention both from the bottom-up and top-down. Having a subject-matter expert like Murilo mentor colleagues on key DevOps and DevSecOps responsibilities provides them with clear opportunities for growth. When QA professionals are equipped with security knowledge, it significantly strengthens the product’s defenses. We’re proud of our Spriteys who participated in the DevOps training workshop and earned their DSOMM certificates. Huge thanks to Murilo for leading the way! 👏 Bhairavi Deshmukh Mohamad Hasanien Bettina Pedro Tiago Azevedo #spriteCloud #careergrowth #DevOps #DevSecOps #Automation

Last week, the European Council introduced the #CyberResilienceAct, calling for stricter security requirements on digital products sold in the EU. From IoT devices like home cameras, fridges, TVs, and toys, to software products, companies in the European Union must ensure that products are secure throughout the supply chain and lifecycle before they are released to the market. Weak security in digital products can create significant vulnerabilities, which leads to data breaches, financial damage, or disruptions in critical infrastructure. This new legislation highlights how important security-focused testing is in ensuring that digital products are compliant with cybersecurity standards. At spriteCloud, we care about security.
