Although terms like “quality testing” may seem modern, software testing has been around since the advent of computing roughly 70 years ago. Harvard University scientist Grace Murray coined the terms “bugging” and “debugging” in 1947 when a literal “bug” — in this case, a moth — got stuck in the computer circuitry and interrupted a connection.
The three key positions in a software development team are developer, tester, and operations. Required tasks among these positions are continuously changing and evolving and are continuously changed and reinvented. To speed up the development process, development and operations were integrated, which is now referred to as DevOps. Unfortunately, a critical layer between Dev and Ops was overlooked: the fixed cycle of testing.
Don’t worry. DevTestOps isn’t another new term to create turbulence in our IT and DevOps world. Similar to other topologies like DevSecOps, which emphasizes more on the “Sec,” or security matters, DevTestOps stresses the aspect of continuous testing and CI/CD in DevOps. At the same time, to uphold the culture of saying “no” to working in silos, the DevTest approach specifically aims to end the lasting bad blood between the development and testing teams.
In software development, a fail-fast system is a tool that will notify when a failure is likely to occur. The philosophy of the fail-fast principle is formed around the idea that a system should stop normal operations rather than trying to continue working around a flawed piece of code. The fail-fast principle makes software bugs easier to detect earlier in the development cycle.
Hello Katalians! Time flies when you’re busy creating awesome products! Back in May, we delivered Katalon Studio 8 , which included features to provide better scalability options and a better user experience. And because we are not in the business of keeping you waiting for the latest and greatest, today, we are excited to announce the release of Katalon Studio 8.1 (KS8.1) .
As the definition suggests, speed and reliability are the two main objectives in a DevOps testing strategy. The traditional independent-working mindset would be removed by tightening the Dev (development) and Ops (operations) functions together. The process, in turn, makes tight delivery schedules for processes at scale less of a nightmare.
Automation is a hot issue for businesses of all sizes, across all industries. Whether you work in IT or not, you’ve probably heard of automation as a method to save money, improve efficiency, and minimize errors. However, following automation, you may be wondering what action to take next, or if there are any obstacles that are restraining your DevOps teams. How can you step up your automation game and achieve the ideal success of digital transformation?
Maintaining quality while delivering increasingly complex products at increasing speeds is a challenge for software teams everywhere. Automating tests is essential to detect issues faster and speed up the development cycle, but it’s only one part of the equation. Managing and scaling a test automation practice, and implementing it inside an efficient DevOps cycle is even more important.
For almost every website or web application you visit, web forms are the most popular method to collect information. Nowadays, most companies continue to rely on out-of-fashion CRM (customer relationship management) and ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems. Unfortunately, these do not allow users to import data with numerous variables into the portal, leaving employees with only one option – manually entering thousands of data entries one by one.
