The Impact of AI and Machine Learning In Quality Assurance

Some of the popular AI tools people and corporations are using now include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. This has resulted in higher usage and adoption of this technology and this has caused some worry among people, particularly in terms of employment. However, for software testers, these changes should be seen as a chance to improve rather than a threat.

A friendly introduction to PHP testing

In the last few years, there has been a lot of movement around new and exciting PHP testing tools. While this is great news, stepping back a little and understanding the underlying concepts before jumping in is vital to writing great PHP tests. When we talk about testing tools and methodologies, we're referring to automated testing tools. Writing code that tests your PHP apps is a great way to build confidence that your application will behave as you expect.

AI-driven test strategy and its impact on software quality

While still in its early days, artificial intelligence is becoming a driving force behind innovation in software testing. While automation has improved testing efficiency, AI can take it further by influencing critical decision-making. Rather than reacting to issues as they arise, teams can now identify potential problems earlier in the development cycle. In this article, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence can help teams rethink their testing strategies.

A Comprehensive Guide to Test-Driven Development in Software Engineering

I often wonder about Steve Wozniak’s claim that the first computers were built to help “common people rise.” Correlating the evolution of software with the upheaval of our human society brings a very hopeful sentiment. Now, software engineering methodologies cater to more nuanced requirements of our “rising,” such as allowing space to correct mistakes (agility) and openness to feedback (adaptability).

Decision Table Testing: A Complete Guide

Testing software, especially complex systems, can be a daunting task. But what if there was a way to systematically test every possible input combination without getting overwhelmed? That’s where Decision Table Testing comes in! As a black-box testing technique, Decision Table Testing helps testers map various combinations of inputs (conditions) to their corresponding outputs (actions), ensuring comprehensive test coverage without redundancy.

Software Testing Life Cycle: A Definitive Guide

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is your roadmap to delivering high-quality, bug-free software. Imagine it as a journey that guides software testers through every crucial step needed to transform a product from concept to perfection. Each phase plays a unique role—whether it's catching bugs, enhancing functionality, or ensuring the final product meets business needs. Every stage works in harmony to guarantee the software is ready for the real world. Ready to dive in?
