What does a true AI & ML implementation look like...The Last Mile in Testing: How Far Can We Go with Headless?
UI testing is often treated as the final stretch of software development as it makes sure that no surprises occur in production. Running a set of UI tests before every sprint ends, however, doesn’t mean that we know what's underneath the surface. Only by employing a combination of good testing stack, tools and strategy adapted to our setup, environments and application can we turn UI testing into a critical instrument to support the last mile of our testing sprint. The tactical use of headless testing helps achieve 90% of the results with 10% of the overall testing efforts.

Orchestrate Tests with LambdaTest
One of the biggest challenges developers/testers face is the speed of test execution but they are stuck with just two options—depending on legacy cloud infrastructure or painstakingly building a local setup.Legacy cloud infrastructure isn’t as fast as a local setup. But, on the other hand, local setups don’t have the features that can be offered on the cloud. This is exactly where a cloud-based next-gen smart test orchestration platform comes in. It brings intelligence to a rather mundane and tedious task, thereby ensuring both time and cost savings for businesses.

Today, everybody is tasked with integrations. We must integrate our product with EVERY system, component, and operating system under the sun. Unfortunately, it might not be desirable or even possible to access those systems during development. There could be security, performance or maintenance issues that make them unavailable. We see teams having dependencies on services owned by other groups which are not accessible, which halts development.
This is when we mock, stub, or virtualize.
