When you come across the phrase “ensuring software quality” in the modern software development landscape, it goes far beyond just ensuring functionality and performance. Security has become an essential pillar of quality assurance. One ...
Modern-day software testing looks nothing like it did just a while back. Teams checking quality? They’re scattered around the globe, working from different time zones. Automation isn’t rare anymore: It is integrated into almost every ...
What word do you usually associate with test automation scripts? Is it “Fragile”? If so, why do you address it that way? Does it break down when object properties or UI change? If your answer is “yes” again, it means the QA ...
If you think coding is the only critical component in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), then you probably need to revisit your ideas. The component standing on equal footing or perhaps more critical than coding is software testing. Whether ...
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the application you developed with great effort went to the client and was rejected for trivial reasons? Though rare, such situations do exist. The remedy for such situations is to perform acceptance ...
Accessibility is a necessity and not just a checkbox anymore. You may ask, why should we cater to a minority group (people with any type of special need) when the majority is satisfied with the product? And honestly, we have seen teams treat it as ...
Security used to be a final gate before release. Today, DevSecOps teams have a mantra that they swear by: Security has to live inside the development process. The older method was to check for security flaws only after fully completing the code. ...
Nearly all software testers bump into this confusion of integration testing vs. end-to-end testing. Let us understand how integration testing differs from end-to-end testing with real-life examples that show what each one does, especially in modern ...
“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” – Stephen Hawking This quote captures the essence of Agile methodology. It has transformed the approach to building software. Due to its iterative and fast-paced nature, it is easier to ...
Software as a service (SAAS) has revolutionized the software development process significantly over the past decade. No longer are there long release cycles to continuous delivery. No more siloed teams and cross-functional squads. From manual ...
All these years, when we were talking about software testing, all we thought of was the testing pyramid. It was the model that defined the scope of testing, what to test, how much to test, and so on. As modern technologies and frameworks were ...
We have a straightforward question: Where should we put most of our testing effort? Over time, researchers have introduced novel structural forms for how testing can be spread over layers within an application. Of all of these models, the Ice Cream ...
If you’ve ever yelled at Google Maps because it told you to go on a non-existent road rather than giving a relevant rerouting, you already understand the problem of missing context! Strange how smart AI seems at first glance. Sentences flow ...
We use AI models such as chatbots, copilots, and AI agents that generate text and are astonishingly capable. Most of the time, these AI models generate sensible output, but sometimes they confidently produce information that is incorrect, ...
When finding your way through software testing, chances are you’ve run into a conversation about the testing pyramid. That concept tends to sit high on a pedestal among testers and developers alike. Yet after a while, a different phrase begins ...
If you’ve been in the QA field for a while, you’ve already seen multiple trends come and go. But through all of them, one message seems to get clearer and clearer – software testing is no longer just an afterthought. Shift everywhere ...
You might be familiar with shift-left testing, an approach that emphasizes testing earlier in the development lifecycle to identify issues as soon as possible. It is a strategy that almost every organization is trying to adopt these days. For good ...
From rule-based systems to complex machine learning (ML) and deep learning models that outperform humans in image recognition, natural language processing (NLP), medical diagnosis, and financial forecasting, artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly ...
Ever thought up something clever, yet wondered if it’d actually function in the real world? That moment is the perfect point to execute a Proof of Concept. It’s a trial run or version that lets you check if an idea works before spending ...
Our everyday life is incomplete without banking applications. From paying bills and checking account balances to transferring funds and applying for loans, customers rely heavily on web and mobile banking applications for fast, secure, and accurate ...
