Innovation takes a back seat when testers are busy with day-to-day tasks like writing test cases and reporting bugs. A Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) is the hub of innovation. This team of experts, researches and adopts the latest trends, technologies, and tools to maximize the value of software testing across an organization. The TCoE constantly focuses on improving and standardizing testing and quality processes to provide a competitive edge for the organization.

There's a transformation happening in software development: Progressive Delivery. It lets you rapidly release updated apps while still maintaining quality and control. Better still, it can have a big impact on the job satisfaction and day-to-day experience of developers. At SmartBear, we're in a unique position with this change happening in the market. We have a range of tools that improve the quality of software development, aiding management, design, testing, and observability.

For so many years, the companies have relied on a group of people for quality assurance – Testers, QA Engineers, etc., to be vigilant and help software development teams to deliver high-quality applications. We spent our days testing, reporting defects, debating business requirements, and wondering if it was a feature instead of a bug. Perhaps the world is changing; we understand this new era requires different approaches, breaking the silos and collaborating more.

Validation is the most used and common term to verify the GxP systems, whether they are in systems or in labs. All the required precautions should be followed and maintained every time to keep the system compliant that is used directly or indirectly in the healthcare system. GxP and its Function: One of the major goals and the most concerning things for any healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, which they always struggle to maintain the balance and try to sort out, is safety.

In the world of software testing, it’s common to hear folks talk about simulators and emulators as if the terms are synonymous. To a certain extent, that makes sense. Simulators and emulators are similar in many ways, and the differences between them don’t always matter from the perspective of a test engineer. But the fact remains that simulators and emulators are different beasts.

Earlier this week, Sauce Labs Chief Customer Officer, Matt Wyman, sat down with journalist Marko Velimirović of Website Planet. The pair discussed the release of the consumer report Every Experience Matters as well as the state of DevOps, trends in testing and the increasing need for developers to deliver exceptional quality at velocity. To read the full interview, head over to Website Planet. A selected portion is included below.

In part one of the “How to better incorporate QA into Agile teams” series, we’re diving into how to improve code development through Agile QA integration prior to feature or product release. The biggest problem for software development teams is getting work done under time constraints. 54% of development teams are struggling to keep up with software delivery. Product teams wanted it yesterday, and devs can’t deliver until tomorrow.
