Not all heroes in the tech world write code. Some wield the power of data analytics and SEO to create compelling stories and foster brand growth. This week, our Monday Member Spotlight features Jose, TestQuality’s Marketing Assistant with years of specialized experience in Google Analytics and SEO. Let's explore how he takes a data-driven approach to spread the word about TestQuality.
While AI and machine learning have been industry buzzwords for a while, they are now becoming fundamental to software testing. Machine learning algorithms are making it easier to sift through logs, identify patterns, and even predict where bugs are most likely to occur. As these technologies mature, the role of AI in software testing will undoubtedly expand.
Cristian laughs when we call him a software developer with a ‘testing mindset.’“Well, I see software testing as an integral part of development. We build; therefore, we test. Simple as that,” he says. This seems straightforward, but in his eyes, it's a philosophy that too many skip over.
Agile was once the high school cool kid that everyone either wanted to be or be with. Now, it’s the valedictorian leading the software development class. DevOps didn’t just join the party; it became the DJ, setting the tempo for developers and testers alike. The good ol' days of ‘Us vs. Them’ are so yesteryear.
BDD (Behavior Driven Development) strives to communicate clearly whenever any stakeholder's understanding of the desired system changes and attempts to have stakeholders in diverse positions interacting smoothly in parallel to maintain a near-constant grasp of the intended system behavior. If that understanding has been misaligned, it should be updated, or it should be synthesized with a new understanding of the intended system. This ensures that all stakeholders are pulling in the same direction.
We don't need to tell you that test automation will increase quality and save your software development company time and money spent on doing manual regression testing. It's known that many businesses begin at the user interface layer, which has the lowest ROI (return in investment) and perform automated tests that take a fraction of time by running regression tests with each build, rather than investing weeks near the end of the development cycle.
Regression Testig has its importance with regards to software maintenance. Its primary goal is to discover bugs across the system that were missed during first rollout of a new feature.
Software compatibility testing is a subset of non-functional testing that guarantees that a software application will run correctly on a wide variety of platforms, including but not limited to browsers, databases, OSs, mobile devices, networks, and hardware setups. If you want your apps to run smoothly and your customers to be happy, compatibility testing is a must.
