Start Your Tests Early

Ever feel like you’re wasting energy on endless automation tests that just don’t cut it? @Veronika Takmazyan recommends focusing on stability and quality right from the start. If you invest in quality early on, you’ll avoid the headaches of fixing bugs and rewriting code later. Deliver once, deliver well, and move on to the next big thing. If you’re wondering how to get your team on board with this mindset, Veronika sums it up perfectly.

How to Get Started with GoMock

GoMock is a powerful tool for generating mock objects in Go, making it an essential asset for developers aiming to write advanced unit tests. By simulating the behavior of real objects, GoMock allows you to test your code in isolation, ensuring that each component functions correctly on its own. This capability is particularly useful in a language like Go, where interfaces play a crucial role in defining the behavior of different components.

Quality Isn't Optional

In software development, it doesn’t matter who found the bug or who’s responsible for fixing it. What matters is that the product works. @Veronika Takmazyan shares a real-world example from their team’s work on a @Salesforce hybrid app, where ownership and collaboration are essential. Whether it’s web views or native elements, the goal is clear: deliver quality at every step, no excuses. Watch the latest episode of Test Case Scenario to learn more about how embracing responsibility across teams ensures that quality isn’t just an afterthought—it’s built into every release.

Effective Test Strategy: 5 Best Practices, Real-Case Examples

In today's fast-paced software development landscape, delivering high-quality assurance applications is paramount. A well-crafted test strategy plays a pivotal role in ensuring that your software meets the desired standards of functionality, performance, and reliability. Unlike a test plan, which focuses on the granular details of a specific project, a test strategy provides a high-level roadmap for testing throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Are Your KPIs Fighting Each Other?

When it comes to automation, what you choose to measure can make or break your team’s quality efforts. Focusing too much on one KPI, like automation coverage, can actually hurt the quality of your tests—and vice versa. Before diving into automation, @Chris Wallander suggests a simpler and often overlooked approach. Start with requirements coverage. If you haven’t documented and tested against your requirements, you’re flying blind until something breaks in the real world.
