Test data management for E2E suites: stop sharing state, start isolating it
Shared accounts, mutated fixtures, and order-dependent tests are the hidden cause behind a huge share of 'flaky' failures. Practical isolation patterns for Playwright suites, and how to diagnose data-coupled failures from run history.
Performance Testing Arrives: k6 and JMeter, Natively
Load testing joins TestRelic as a first-class run type. Upload k6 or JMeter results into one workspace with synchronized timelines and repo-level pass/fail service levels.
Autonomous Git Sync: Agents That Observe, Classify, and Act — With a Restore Point
A new opt-in Git sync mode watches your repo, classifies what changed, and acts on it in one round trip — building on full Git source control with a restore point and a visible approval surface for agent-run actions.
