Great software engineers are expensive, in-demand, and incredibly hard to find. Building an engineering team is a heroic feat – but stop asking them to moonlight as testers and build a QA team instead. Trying to offload QA duties onto your engineers is not as effective as you might hope. Unhappy developers lead to high turnover, slower release time, and an expensive talent search. Take it from the experts; build a QA team if you want high-quality products and releases.

Organizations relying on testing tools from Micro Focus (and before that, HPE) to ensure the quality of their digital initiatives recently received sobering—if not surprising—news: Micro Focus announced that it was being acquired by OpenText, giving the company’s aging testing products their second “new home” in five years (Micro Focus acquired ALM/Quality Center, UFT, and LoadRunner as part of their 2017 purchase of HPE’s software business).

You may have used OAuth before, but do you know how it really works? In this article, Mauro Chojrin dives deep into building an end-to-end OAuth implementation in PHP.

A MemoryError means that the interpreter has run out of memory to allocate to your Python program. This may be due to an issue in the setup of the Python environment or it may be a concern with the code itself loading too much data at the same time.

Today, as businesses continue to migrate to more online-oriented operations to cater to increasingly digital audiences, it’s more important than ever to have a functional and engaging website to win conversions.

Many companies tell you that “the security of our customers’ data is very important to us” in their marketing communications. And you believe them, for a while. But then you discover they were hacked with an open FTP server, using a password like “nameOfTheCompany2022”, and you realise that it’s not that important after all. Why do we mention this, you ask? Well, a few months ago Bugfender got ISO 27001-certified.

For mobile teams looking to improve their mobile product delivery without building everything from scratch, here are the challenges and benefits of using open-source solutions for your mobile app.

Regression testing and unit testing are two different types of testing, yet many of TestQuality users use them interchangeably. Although we already went through Regression Testing Challenges and Best Practices in a previous post, it's important to distinguish between the similarities and differences between regression testing and unit testing. All unit tests are, in essence, regression tests.

Testing is the bottleneck of devops. 80% of testing is done manually. This is time-consuming, error-prone, tedious, and expensive. It's a hundred times more expensive to fix an error caught in production versus an error caught. Dev teams are being pushed to release code faster, release new features faster, and beat their competitors in every possible way. Automation is a cheaper and more accurate way to test. It lets everyone focus on most important goals.
