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.

Generative AI Testing: Essential Strategies and Insights for System Validation

At this event, we started day 2 with an energetic workshop of "Evaluating and Testing Generative AI: Insights and Strategies", led by Jason Arbon, CEO of Checkie.AI, which covered the complex challenges of testing AI systems like ChatGPT and LLAMA.

S1.E20: Web testing with Cypress | QA Therapy Podcast

Are you grappling with flaky tests and grappling with the choice of framework for web testing? It's crucial for end-to-end (e2e) tests to be faster, stable, and reliable. But, is Cypress the solution we've been looking for? Let's explore. Joining us as our guest QA Therapist in this episode is Filip Hri, a Cypress ambassador.

Best Exploratory Testing books to add to your list in 2024

The exploratory tester's role goes beyond finding bugs. It involves understanding user behavior, improving software quality, gathering feedback, and refining testing strategies. As an exploratory testing expert, you are an investigator who understands the software, uses creativity and intuition to guide the session, and discovers new ways to uncover hidden issues.

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.
