The current software development era is an era of microservices. The complexities of large bulky parts of the software have forced us to break them into smaller pieces that can be worked on independently and communicate with each other using lightweight protocols. As a result, we increase the overall efficiency of the system by taking control of more minor things that ultimately combine to make the complete software.
On 25th August 1991, a computer-science student in Finland posted the following message on a Usenet newsgroup: “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).
When it comes to creating a high-quality application or software, there are many testing methods leveraged by testers to ensure the application or software meets the best possible quality standards. Each testing method covers different functional and non-functional areas, such as performance, usability, compatibility, and security. System Testing and End to End Testing are the two popular types of software testing.
When creating iOS or Android apps, you go through the beta testing stage, often done after alpha testing. Consider this a soft launch for your app, allowing your beta testers to try it and provide feedback on what needs improving and what you can remove. Beta testing apps gain real-world experience and learn how your app will operate when used by actual people.
The omnipresence of software cannot be ignored. It is synonymous with today’s connected world. Our lives are heavily influenced by software. As a result of our industry’s rapid growth, we are creating code at a faster pace than ever before. One thing that often gets overlooked amidst all this exponential growth is the loss we are making because of poor quality & code.
It is 2023, and technology continues to advance at a rapid pace; the field of software testing is constantly evolving. From automation to artificial intelligence, the future of software testing looks very different from what it has been in the past. Software testing is critical for any development of high-quality, reliable software. However, testing has become increasingly challenging as software becomes more complex and user expectations rise.
The term “accessibility” refers to a software system’s usability by individuals without physical disabilities or impairments as well as those who do. Businesses may make digital material accessible to persons with impairments by doing web accessibility testing. Business owners must ensure that their digital material complies with the ADA and Web Content Accessibility Principles because more nations are enacting laws to open web sources to everyone (WCAG).
Cloud orchestration platforms employ automation to manage IT operations and resources in private and public cloud infrastructure. Technologies for cloud orchestration include automated processes and tasks into a workflow to carry out particular business operations. Cloud orchestration solutions differ from cloud automation solutions as they are more like platforms than plug-and-play tools. Cloud orchestration solutions are simple tools.
The testing industry is blooming exponentially with new trends, tools, and patterns popping up constantly. Many of these new patterns claim to increase the productivity of testers and testing. Nevertheless, not all patterns increase productivity. Often, testers unconsciously fall into such anti-patterns. This article covers some common anti-patterns during agile testing, along with some tips and ideas on countering them.
Today’s iOS application market is as competitive as never before. In 2022, active iOS users account for more than 1.2 billion, with 2.2 billion units sold worldwide. For a developer or an organization, that means they have got a market of over 1 billion users if they are planning to upload their application to the App Store. And how important does its quality need to be? In 2021, a study revealed that iPhone users spend more than 39 hours per week operating their phones.
