Exploratory testing is a dynamic, flexible methodology emphasizing simultaneous learning, testing strategy, and execution. Unlike traditional scripted testing, exploratory testing enables testers to actively explore software applications using their intuition, creativity, and experience. By assuming the end-user role, testers interact with the software in real-time, identifying potential issues and uncovering usability problems that scripted tests might overlook.

When running automated tests frequently on your website, at one point it may be essential to keep your website statistics consistent with correct visitor counts, conversions, and geo-location data. The impact of such skewed data from automation can lead to pricy mistakes for incorrect ad targeting and the business economy statistics, hence it can be important to exclude test automation from analytics data.

In the 21st century, practically all technological innovation on the planet has been channeled into the mobile phone. The first generation of mobile phones simply allowed you to make calls, store numbers and play rudimentary games (some of which, like Snake, didn’t even have an end sequence because the designers didn’t think anyone would complete them). Today mobile phones are computers in our pocket, allowing us to shop, date, stream videos, buy food, order cabs and find our way around.

The C# delegate is an essential “construct” in the C# programming language. Delegates are essential for event handling, LINQ queries, asynchronous programming and more. And you can, of course, make use of delegates to make your code simpler and more concise. This post offers you a guide to this incredibly useful tool in C#. By the end of the post, you’ll have learned: Let’s get started.

From the moment Tom, the upcoming rapper, comes to your digital store, picks the latest Nike, to when he walks out with his loot, he deserves a user experience smoother than Michael Jackson’s moonwalk. If your site fails this litmus test, you may as well say goodbye to the emerging artist (and his money). If you succeed? Probably a conversion (and maybe a free promo in his next EP?). So, how do you rev up your site’s shopping cart conversions and turbocharge your revenue while at it?

Third-party vendors can now leverage Fivetran software development kits to build their own Fivetran connectors and destinations.

In the second post of our series covering LiteStack (an alternative way to build Rails applications entirely based on SQLite), we'll explore the database's concepts of flexible typing and type affinity. We'll not only discover how SQLite's data handling differs from other SQL databases, but also how we efficiently process and store binary data, like images, directly in a database column. Note: LiteDB is essentially SQLite, but fine-tuned for usage in Rails.
