What is Canary Testing?
Releasing software is no longer a once-in-a-while event—it’s continuous, fast-paced, and high-stakes. In this environment, even a minor issue in production can cause significant downtime or loss of user trust. That’s why development teams are adopting Canary Testing , a smart strategy that minimizes risk by gradually rolling out updates. With modern tools like Genqe , canary testing isn’t just possible—it’s intelligent, automated, and deeply insightful. In this blog, we’ll break down what Canary Testing is, why it matters, and how Genqe takes it to the next level. What is Canary Testing?
