Honest post. I'm a senior QA engineer in Argentina and I'm trying to fix our performance testing setup, which currently is... not great. On paper: we run **load tests in CI on every merge to main.** In reality: we run a 60-second test with 10 virtual users against a staging environment that has 1/8…

Switching from JMeter was the right call for us! About 14 months ago our team (based in PAK, B2C platform, peaks around major shopping events) moved our entire load testing suite from **JMeter to k6**. Wanted to give an honest retrospective now that we've been through two major sales events with th…

Our team in Mexico just started doing structured **keyboard-only testing** as part of our accessibility regression suite. We're covering the obvious stuff — Tab order, Enter/Space on buttons, Escape to close modals. But I keep feeling like we're missing things. Would love to crowdsource a more comp…

how do you manage testing across NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver without losing your mind? 🫠 I'm a QA engineer in the Netherlands working on a government portal that has to comply with **EN 301 549** (Europe's accessibility standard). This means I can't just test with one screen reader — I need coverage …

Curious what's actually useful vs hype. Wanted to get a real-world temperature check on this. My company in India (B2B SaaS) is being pushed by management to "use AI in our QA process" — classic top-down pressure without much direction. I've personally tried: - **GitHub Copilot** for autocompleti…

I'll go first: about **40% of ours is effectively dead weight.** We have ~1,800 automated tests in a Django + React app. A solid chunk of them: - Haven't been touched in 18+ months - Fail intermittently and get *ignored* rather than fixed - Test implementation details instead of behavior I'm a QA …

So my team is mid-migration from **Cypress to Playwright** and honestly it's going better than expected, but I wanted to hear from people who've gone the other direction or had a bad experience. Our main reasons for switching: - Multi-tab and multi-origin support (Cypress still struggles here) - Be…
