Advances in medical robotics and healthcare technology — enabled by the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) — mean that we are already seeing less invasive procedures, more accurate diagnoses, and more personalized treatment options for patients. But all these innovations depend on software which brings increased safety and security risks.

Welcome, software testers and compliance geeks! Today we’ll look into Compliance testing, which can sound like a dry and daunting task, but we will make this fun. Consider yourself a software tester who has just been set with verifying that your company’s latest application complies with all the necessary regulations and standards. This might be intimidating, but don’t worry; we’ve got your back.

When Plastic SCM (now Unity Version Control) was acquired by Unity in 2020, game dev and VFX studios already using the Unity Engine started considering it more seriously for version control. Why? On the surface, Plastic SCM is an attractive solution. It offers a friendly UI for artists and handles the basics of version control at low scale. But what happens when your projects grow and get more complex? Does Plastic still hold up? Read along or jump ahead to the section that interests you most.

The software release goes through two main phases – development and testing. When the software is under development, a developer codes the required features and lets the team know he is done with it. How do we verify this? By using the functionality on any of the systems. It is then cleared for testing. Now when the software is under testing, a tester tests the functionalities of the application and lets the team know he is done with it. But how do we verify this?

Let’s talk about something important in the realm of software testing: Robustness testing. ISTQB states, “Robustness testing is the degree to which a component or system can function correctly in the presence of invalid inputs or stressful environmental conditions.”This is when we test a system or program to see how well it can handle unexpected scenarios and mishaps.

Robust software testing strategies are often an act of balance between extreme approaches, and approaching episodic vs. continuous testing is no different. While convention may be committed to a single strategy as an operational criterion for many organizations, consider a combined approach with the two.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment, ensuring high-quality software applications has become a critical success factor for enterprises. To achieve this, they are incorporating DevOps practices to accelerate their software development and Continuous Testing practices to test early and often to provide quality software.
