Why Communication Is the Real Success Factor in Load Testing

When applications slow down under real-world traffic, customers disengage and revenue is lost. Load testing aims to prevent these failures, yet in many organizations, tests fall short not because of technical limitations but due to communication gaps between teams. Effective coordination ensures realistic scenarios, faster root-cause analysis, and clear business impact. This article shows why communication is the hidden success factor in load testing and how decision-makers can strengthen it.

Playwright vs. Selenium – Who Wins and Why?

When it comes to automating functional test cases, Selenium is still one of the most popular tools even today. It offers broad support for browsers and programming languages, is open-source, and provides a large ecosystem of plugins and integrations with other tools such as JUnit. However, over the past few years, Microsoft’s open-source tool Playwright, released in 2020, has established itself as a serious alternative to Selenium and is increasingly being used in projects. In this article, we’ll compare both tools, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and see how they perform in different categories.
