Key Types of Software Testing Every Tester Must Know

Software testing is the backbone as far as quality assurance in software development is concerned. Its important task is to verify that the software not only works as designed but is also reliable and meets user expectations. According to the US research software testing market, it was estimated valued at USD 2.4 billion in 2024. In the industry, discussions about software testing and its various types are common, but Alphabin has gone beyond the usual discussion.

How AI-Driven Test Automation Enhances Business Efficiency and Reduces Costs

If there was a way to make your software testing faster, more accurate, and much less expensive, wouldn’t that be a game changer? That’s exactly what AI test automation is making possible. Traditional testing methods are slow, tedious, and expensive—especially as software gets more complex. Manual testing is time-consuming, brings errors throughout the process, and is a costly proposition. However, these problems can be overcome with AI-powered automation.

Shift Left Testing Approach: What It Is and Why It's Essential in QA

Have you ever thought of finding a bug in your software before it becomes a problem that costs too much to fix? That is what Shift Left Testing means—testing is done at the beginning of the development process. In the traditional approach, testing happens at the end of the development phase; defects found reduce development efficiency and lead to delays, high costs, and the risk of frustrated users.

What is Test Observability in Software Testing?

In software testing, it is our job to understand how applications behave in their real-world environment. With observability, teams gain a better view: not just detecting issues but understanding why they’re occurring in the first place. In testing observability, unlike traditional monitoring, which typically signals when things go wrong, observability focuses on why and where it happened so the team can optimize system health.
