The term “defect” is not to be taken lightly in the context of software development and quality assurance; it is a critical element that influences whether software products succeed or fail. A software system's defects, also referred to as bugs, are flaws or errors that result in incorrect or unexpected behavior. To ensure the delivery [...]
Speed and quality need to coexist peacefully in the fast-paced environment of software development. Quality assurance (QA), which takes place at the end stage of the development cycle in conventional testing models, often results in costly bugs, delayed deliveries, and decreased customer satisfaction. This is where the shift-left testing approach helps organizations in intensive QA [...]
As a Test Manager, you are at the root of quality assurance and product success. This position is much more than simply managing testing; it's about defining how quality is included in all aspects of development. Test Manager is a thought leader and a manager who empowers a range of initiatives by focusing testing with [...]
Developing reliable, maintainable, and error-free code is not only an objective, but a mandatory requirement in the accelerated software development world of today. By changing the traditional workflow at its foundation, the method called Test-Driven Development (TDD) helps developers achieve this. TDD emphasizes writing tests before any code is built, as compared to writing tests [...]
Automation is an essential step to guarantee accurate software testing, IT management, and business operations as we have increasingly embraced digital transformation. However, not everything needs to be automated, even though it can boost accuracy, scalability, and speed. Organizations and teams need to be aware of what should and should not be automated to prevent [...]
The Test Data Management (TDM) industry is expanding rapidly; the global market is expected to grow from its current 2023 valuation of US$1.3 billion to an estimated US$2.7 billion by 2030. (source) In today's fast-paced development cycles, there are no secure applications without sound data handling. TDM has emerged as a cornerstone of helping software [...]
In the existing accelerated software development world, where continuous integration and Agile practices are the rule, testers need techniques that can keep up with delivery speed without compromising product quality. One such practice that highlights simultaneous learning, test design, and execution is exploratory testing. Exploratory testing, as compared to traditional scripted testing, relies on a [...]
Delivering reliable apps swiftly is vital in the rapidly evolving software development strategies adopted today. Having a good suite of test cases isn't enough. Teams need a systematic guide to help them use these test cases for validation. A test strategy document becomes critical at this point. A clearly defined test strategy is the foundation [...]
With the rising popularity of Agile and DevOps methodologies, software testing has become a vital element of modern software development. The Testing Pyramid is one of the best approach to keep a testing procedure scalable and productive. The question that arises, however, is, what is the testing pyramid and why is it vital? Let us [...]
One of the most satisfying yet challenging roles in the technology industry is that of a Director of Engineering (DoE). A DoE functions as the bridge between technical execution and business goals by striking a balance between practical leadership and strategic thinking. Having a reliable cheat sheet that can aid you in making decisions faster, [...]
