Mature Agile testing is all about better, more resilient applications. But what happens when requirements are fluid and automation fails? Speed can’t help you then. Check out our dive into Agile testing gaps. We provide actionable tips on how to balance manual, automated and crowd-based testing to smooth the delivery cycle. https://bit.ly/4zmsvwI #AgileTesting #DigitalQuality

Adversarial testing and red teaming are key to AI quality assurance. Each strategy provides unique advantages in mitigating risks like bias and toxicity. Learn how they differ in these highlights from the award-winning presentation given by Applause Solution Delivery Director Violaine Mansard-Auduberteaud at this year's JFTL (Journée Française des Tests Logiciels), France's premier annual software testing and QA conference, organized by CFTL - Comité Français des Tests Logiciels. ➡️ Learn more about AI safety and risk services offered by Applause: https://lnkd.in/eaVbBfnG #JFTL #RedTeaming #TestingAI #DevTrends #AgenticAI

The integration of agentic AI systems into software quality engineering offers significant efficiency gains, provided enterprise security and architectural standards are preserved. In this summary of our recent Velocity and Validation Labs webinar, Applause details how QA engineers can use Claude Code to accelerate test creation, configure event-driven hooks and implement Playwright MCP for live browser interaction.

People-centric design requires more than listening to the people who support your idea. It means actively seeking out the skeptics — they can expose overlooked risks, challenge assumptions and reveal how it may affect users outside the design team’s echo chamber. In this clip from the Ready, Test, Go. podcast, Nasim Afsar shares an important lesson for anyone building AI-enabled products: seek the real perspective, not the convenient one. #PeopleCentricDesign #HealthcareAI #ReadyTestGo #AI

Most payment failures are invisible to internal teams—until they show up as lost revenue. From AI-driven checkout bugs to localized 3DS friction, traditional QA is missing critical real-world transaction failures. Watch our on-demand webinar, The Hidden Cost of Payment Failures, featuring experts Lily Varón (Principal Analyst, Forrester) and Zeb Winzenried (Senior Director, Applause).

Why do product teams keep confusing speed with progress? Because it’s often rewarded. Jeff Gothelf argues it comes down to what gets measured. Output is binary and easy to celebrate, while real outcomes — actual changes in customer behavior — take longer to see and are harder to champion. On this episode of Ready, Test, Go., Jeff makes the case for evidence-driven learning over feature-factory thinking. https://bit.ly/4xAX006 #ProductLeadership #SoftwareTesting

For engineering leaders, speed and scale are non-negotiable, but never at the expense of quality. Applause delivers on all three. Our crowdtesting community is the key to reducing QA bottlenecks, achieving true coverage and enabling innovation. Stop being limited by device labs and traditional testing methods. Listen as our experts explain how to expand your QA approach and make proactive business decisions. https://bit.ly/4xLMvXQ #CrowdTesting #QA #DigitalQuality

Are you familiar with the 10X QA framework? This model pairs autonomous AI execution with expert human-in-the-loop judgment — at scale. The goal is to reduce the tradeoff between speed and quality with a strategy that combines both. Check out the key tenets of the 10X QA framework: - Speed and quality aren’t a trade-off: An agentic automation engine and human-in-the-loop experts reinforce each other — so you can have both. - Choose platforms for the long term: Screen for architecture fit, self-healing and multi-agent orchestration, looking past the shiny features. - Bring in human-in-the-loop for covering AI blind spots: Let AI handle volume and route low-confidence scenarios to human experts automatically. - Measure what matters: Track self-healing rate, cycle time, creation velocity, coverage ratio and global readiness. ➡️ Read more in our latest webinar recap: https://bit.ly/4zoz420 #DevTrends #SoftwareTesting #AgenticAutomation
