Today, the world is much more connected than it was a few years ago. Smartphones have brought an explosion of new technologies and applications that have fundamentally changed our lives. Why so? It's down to mobile applications. Mobile apps play a vital role in the broader process that advocates for digital transformation.
Functional testing comes in all shapes and sizes. So do functional testing tools.
Rigidity, delayed updates, or slow time-to-market - these problems can turn software testing into a bottleneck to the development pipeline and eventually a hindrance to the company’s overall growth. This is where agile methodology enters the scene, offering a flexible and responsive testing solution. Since its introduction, agile principles and practices have been popularly adopted among development teams who aim for fast, effective delivery and exceptional software experiences.
Functional testing is a stage in the software delivery lifecycle (also referred to as a ‘process’) in which quality engineers verify whether the application under test’s features behaves as per their requirements. Here are some typical examples of functional testing.
Automated software testing powers faster releases and higher-quality user experiences. As developers make changes to the applications, automation engineers, test leads, and developers work together to resolve issues that occur on some of the automated tests. Test failure analysis activities allow these teams to perform root cause analysis (RCA) for these failures. These activities can take increasing amounts of time as the scale of automated testing grows.
GitHub Copilot has been the subject of some controversy since Microsoft announced it in the Summer of 2021. Whatever your feelings about the matter, Copilot is likely here to stay. So that got me thinking — perhaps there are more important questions to ask about Copilot. If developers are going to use an AI-assisted code generation tool, it would be more productive to think about how to improve it rather than contemplating its right to exist.
To be a leader in any industry is to be a leader in technology. In the whirlwind of digital transformation, innovation happens every day with software and software quality at the forefront. To not be left behind, now more than ever, CEOs, team leaders, and decision-makers should rethink software quality - the single most important element that determines their success.
It is estimated there are over 15 billion mobile devices (phones and tablets) in the world today. And customers, businesses, and service providers are using or developing native mobile apps for everyday needs.
Achieving optimal software reliability and quality management processes sit at the core of a memorable digital experience. Quality management in software can be summarized in two points: Stakeholders and management always want their digital products to successfully launch. Software testing is normally seen as rejecting builds and stretching out the delivery date. Why is that?
Modern digital users have the patience level of a typical 5-year-old. Apps that incorporate software testing tools have one core objective to meet: not to make the first encounter with a glitchy UI and unusable functionalities. Software quality in software engineering is a general expectation business stakeholders have. Unfortunately, testing is also “sacrifice” for time to market, postponing the release date and rejecting builds last minute in the development process.
