One of the things that I'm really passionate about is great design. Design is important in all aspects of our lives and it's really important for analytics as well. When you're the recipient of bad design, you know it immediately. Have you ever seen those emails that have been completely misaligned or sat through a PowerPoint where everything is in the wrong colors and fonts? How does it make you feel?
User feedback is a key element to our success and directly influences our roadmap and where we invest and innovate. This feedback fuels our drive to deliver truly impactful capabilities – ones that accelerate business value, drive ROI and lower TCO.
Having an effective test automation system is an absolute necessity in today’s agile software development environments. Automation works great, especially in case of smoke and regression tests and helps the QA teams to easily create and execute test cases that are complex in nature. Though automation can act as a power booster for your product pipeline of development projects, there are certain pitfalls in automation which slow down the automation pipelines if not tackled upfront.
A Proof of Concept in Automation testing deserves a thorough preparation and implementation to verify the automation venture. Once it is done right, the QA team can leverage valuable insights to have timely adjustments for the application of automation testing.

Apple just introduced Apple M1, it’s new processor, along with their latest product versions. Back in June, when Apple had first announced the transition to Apple silicon, we applied for their Universal App Quick Start Program and, eventually, received an Apple Developer Transition Kit (DTK) so that we could try out our Rollbar-iOS and Rollbar.NET (via Xamarin) SDKs on the Apple new platform.
Are you planning moving to data-driven software management to keep on top of your quality assurance status, your security findings and development velocity? Thinking about building it yourself using Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana or maybe just using your Splunk instance for this? Read more to find out why this may or may not be a good idea.
There are numerous test metrics or criteria to measure the success of mobile applications. But in a world of agile software testing, it’s more than just discovered defects. What other results matter in software quality and for end-users? Which QA metrics help validate the efficacy of your efforts? When it comes to QA metrics, there is no one size fits all. Just like in software development, you’ll want to align your benchmarks against your goals for the project.
