When the 2020 documentary, ‘The Social Dilemma,’ directed by Jeff Orlowski, dropped on Netflix, it sounded the alarm bell that was already ringing loudly. It highlighted the familiar quote among millions of viewers globally by driving the point of how Big Tech has been misusing our data without our consent. The documentary came in a backdrop of tumultuous times – with the CEOs of Google, Facebook, and Twitter questioned by the US Senate Judiciary and Senate Commerce Committees.

The term “mobile app accessibility” is often applied to making apps accessible to people with physical disabilities. But what if accessibility could encompass diversity and inclusion as well?

This guide is designed to help contribute to Testsigma, an open-source tool that supports end-to-end testing for Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and APIs. Spoiler Alert: You don’t always need to be a programmer to make a contributor. There are many opportunities for coding as well as non-coding contributions. This article discusses all aspects necessary to contribute to Testsigma’s open-source project.

In this post, I compare two cloud pubsub services: Azure Web PubSub and Ably, to determine which provides the best development experience. The context will be a multi-user pixelart drawing application that I've built with both services. This is not a step-by-step instruction on how to build the entire application. I'll highlight some key features and differences. The GitHub repository for the app has further details and includes CodeTours to guide you through the solution.

Improving your app’s user engagement is key to its success. One way to prevent churn and increase interactions in your Flutter app is by using notifications. Push notifications are pop-up messages that are displayed outside the app’s UI. These messages can appear when the app is closed or in the background. Push notifications are used to get users’ attention and communicate information to them.

Hello Folks, Great to meet you all with another interesting blog. There are many relationships between Games and Testing. Many people use that as a metaphor and define testing. Why is it so? Every game requires strategy and analytical skills to play and win. In today’s blog, I will be explaining how chess and the pieces in chess are related to software testers and what we learn from them. Chess is one of the brilliant games. No one could deny it.

We live in a digital economy where Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are foundational elements for businesses to operate and grow. As rightly outlined by Gartner, APIs interconnect individual systems that contain data about people, businesses and things, enable transactions, and create new products/services and business models. The popularity of APIs has grown significantly in the last decade or so, but the history of APIs stretches back much further.

In our last blog post, we traced the evolution of APIs in the cloud age. The cloud age introduced the idea of an “API economy” — or the business practice of organizations exposing their digital services or information through the controlled use of APIs. While the API economy looks attractive today, we believe it will become even stronger in the future.

The key differentiator that distinguishes good software from outstanding software is the user experience. Software testers should go beyond just checking the functionality of the product. Software Testing is one of those fields where the more you know the better it is. Testers need to be generalists to be effective at work, someone with broad knowledge across many topics and expertise in a few.

Following Continual achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in January, we’re proud to announce we are now SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. This milestone demonstrates our ongoing commitment to helping our customers protect their data – and their customer’s data – as they build and grow their operational AI platforms. It’s a hard reality for many software projects that security is added late in their development cycle as their market viability becomes clear.
