Test Case vs. Test Scenario: Differences, Types, and Best Practices

In software testing lifecycle, you’d come across two of the most common terms: test cases and test scenarios. After all, these are the building blocks of testing. Getting them right is critical to product success. Test scenarios are derived from a use case, whereas a test case is derived from a test scenario. Using both, we ensure software quality and robustness. Bit tricky, right?

Test Strategy vs Test Plan: Key Differences

Test plans and test strategies are part of any comprehensive and effective software QA system. While both often work in tandem and are complementary to one another, they represent different goals. But what’s the difference between them? This common confusion arises due to the fact that there is some overlap when it comes to their usage. This blog post discusses the difference between test strategy vs test plan.

Manual Testing vs Automation Testing: Which one should you choose?

Before we discuss the difference between manual and automation testing, let’s understand why we need Software testing. Surprisingly in many cases, the importance given to software development won’t be given to testing. If we look into SDLC, testing has greater integrity. Taking it casually and testing in non-real environments will directly impact the entire project and lead to testing failures without a doubt.

Frontend Testing vs Backend Testing: What's the Difference?

An application can broadly be divided into two categories: frontend and backend. Before releasing a product in the market, it’s essential to test whether both the frontend and backend of the application are working correctly. Frontend testing is the testing of the user interface visible to the user by which users interact with the application. In contrast, backend testing is about testing the actual database and server logic under the hood, which is not visible to the application users.

Top 8 QA Automation Tools For Software Testing In 2022

Today, software developers have no option but to provide a software application near perfection. Automation is a great way to expand operations and save time and money. All the repetitive testing tasks that take a long time and are challenging to complete manually are automated using automated software tools. On the other hand, manual testing necessitates a trained human’s precise execution of test actions. As a result, automation testing expands the number of tests on a software program.

Quick XPath Locators Cheat Sheet

Data is the new asset for any business use case for drawing insights. Similarly, Automation Testing is the new standard that tech companies set for testing their software products. XPath plays a vital role in any of the uses above, in scraping data from multiple websites or testing products and functionality. XPath allows testers like us to navigate around various locators of the web page with the help of numerous properties such as ID, Tag Name, Group Index, and Predicates.

What Makes Device Farms So Crucial For Software Testing?

The Mobile app market is growing at an incredible rate. As of January 2022, over 3.57 million apps were available for download on the Google Play Store, which is only expected to grow in the coming years. With so many apps on the market, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for developers to stand out. One way to ensure that your app is of the highest quality and has the best chance of success is to test it on various devices. This is where Device Farms come in.

How to report an issue using a bug report template?

In the software development lifecycle, reporting a bug issue is essential. If done correctly will improve the productivity of the development team. Otherwise, it can slow down the entire pipeline. Hence, it would be best if you always write a good and detailed bug report that can help the development team to find and fix the bug without facing any challenges.

Software Inspection v Software Testing: How do they differ?

When it comes to software development, we are often swamped with varied quality assurance terms that seem to have the same meaning. For instance, we confuse software testing types with software inspection. To give you a brief background: developed by IBM in the early 1970s, the term software inspection came into the picture when it was noticed that software testing wasn’t enough to attain high-quality software. So, what’s the difference between inspection and testing?

How Big is the Global Accessibility Testing Market and How Fast is it Growing?

Accessibility testing makes weband mobile applications usable by the broadest possible audience. It makes applications accessible to individuals with vision, hearing, and other physical or cognitive conditions. Globally, corporations are concentrating on enhancing customer engagement and retention to maintain market competition. Customers for accessibility testing include individuals with disabilities, who must be considered when conducting business.
