Software Testing Life Cycle: A Definitive Guide

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is your roadmap to delivering high-quality, bug-free software. Imagine it as a journey that guides software testers through every crucial step needed to transform a product from concept to perfection. Each phase plays a unique role—whether it's catching bugs, enhancing functionality, or ensuring the final product meets business needs. Every stage works in harmony to guarantee the software is ready for the real world. Ready to dive in?

Decision Table Testing: A Complete Guide

Testing software, especially complex systems, can be a daunting task. But what if there was a way to systematically test every possible input combination without getting overwhelmed? That’s where Decision Table Testing comes in! As a black-box testing technique, Decision Table Testing helps testers map various combinations of inputs (conditions) to their corresponding outputs (actions), ensuring comprehensive test coverage without redundancy.

Empowering Biotech Innovation with Seamless Functional and Usability Testing: A Success Story

In the biotech industry, where precision, compliance, and user experience are critical, even minor technical glitches can have significant consequences. A leading biotech company specializing in rare diseases faced this very challenge when updating its web-based Request Management System (RMS). The RMS is crucial for managing requests, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, and providing users with a seamless experience.

Preparing the Consumer Fetch: Kafka Producer and Consumer Internals, Part 3

Welcome back to the third installment of our blog series where we’re diving into the beautiful black box that is Apache Kafka to better understand how we interact with the cluster through producer and consumer clients. Earlier in the series, we took a look at the Kafka producer to see how the client works before following a produce request as it’s processed by the cluster.

A Comprehensive Guide to Test-Driven Development in Software Engineering

I often wonder about Steve Wozniak’s claim that the first computers were built to help “common people rise.” Correlating the evolution of software with the upheaval of our human society brings a very hopeful sentiment. Now, software engineering methodologies cater to more nuanced requirements of our “rising,” such as allowing space to correct mistakes (agility) and openness to feedback (adaptability).

Using Moesif with Middy and Serverless for AWS Apps

See the GitHub repository for the source code of this article’s example project. Serverless is a popular framework to build serverless apps using AWS Lambda on the Node.js runtime. Serverless automatically orchestrates necessary resources on AWS and can scaffold a basic project for you that you can build up on. You can solely focus on your application’s core logic, development, and your Lambda functions.

AI-driven test strategy and its impact on software quality

While still in its early days, artificial intelligence is becoming a driving force behind innovation in software testing. While automation has improved testing efficiency, AI can take it further by influencing critical decision-making. Rather than reacting to issues as they arise, teams can now identify potential problems earlier in the development cycle. In this article, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence can help teams rethink their testing strategies.
