Test Strategy vs Test Plan: Key Differences

Test plans and test strategies are part of any comprehensive and effective software QA system. While both often work in tandem and are complementary to one another, they represent different goals. But what’s the difference between them? This common confusion arises due to the fact that there is some overlap when it comes to their usage. This blog post discusses the difference between test strategy vs test plan.

Frontend Testing vs Backend Testing: What's the Difference?

An application can broadly be divided into two categories: frontend and backend. Before releasing a product in the market, it’s essential to test whether both the frontend and backend of the application are working correctly. Frontend testing is the testing of the user interface visible to the user by which users interact with the application. In contrast, backend testing is about testing the actual database and server logic under the hood, which is not visible to the application users.

Manual Testing vs Automation Testing: Which one should you choose?

Before we discuss the difference between manual and automation testing, let’s understand why we need Software testing. Surprisingly in many cases, the importance given to software development won’t be given to testing. If we look into SDLC, testing has greater integrity. Taking it casually and testing in non-real environments will directly impact the entire project and lead to testing failures without a doubt.

How software quality platforms outrank single-point solutions

If you’re a quality engineer and software developer doing manual or automated testing, you’re almost certainly using single-point solutions. These can be great for specific problems but they lack the flexibility to deal with multiple issues at once. Thankfully, there is another (better) way to tackle challenges that also benefits teams and organizations in the long run.

Flaky tests hinder development, slow down progress, and cost a lot of money in the long run, especially in mobile native app automation. Watch our webinar to explore how you can eliminate test flakiness, with the key highlights.

Quality Assurance: Models, Stages & Processes

How can you be confident that your product is excellent, and what does Quality Assurance testing entail? Testing a software product for bugs, defects and general effectiveness saves you money and improves your software delivery reputation but what are the main models, stages and processes that are involved in the QA process? We answering it by taking a look at what goes into software testing and the various methods used by Quality Assurance professionals.

6 Factors to Consider While Implementing a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Program

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) is a type of short-term financing provided to consumers to purchase instantly and pay at a future date. The process involves multiple players, such as consumers, financiers, and merchants. The financier carries out a soft credit check on the customer and returns a decision within seconds. Financiers pay merchants on behalf of consumers when they purchase goods or services. The consumers later repay these payments over time in equal periodic installments.

Top 8 QA Automation Tools For Software Testing In 2022

Today, software developers have no option but to provide a software application near perfection. Automation is a great way to expand operations and save time and money. All the repetitive testing tasks that take a long time and are challenging to complete manually are automated using automated software tools. On the other hand, manual testing necessitates a trained human’s precise execution of test actions. As a result, automation testing expands the number of tests on a software program.

Quick XPath Locators Cheat Sheet

Data is the new asset for any business use case for drawing insights. Similarly, Automation Testing is the new standard that tech companies set for testing their software products. XPath plays a vital role in any of the uses above, in scraping data from multiple websites or testing products and functionality. XPath allows testers like us to navigate around various locators of the web page with the help of numerous properties such as ID, Tag Name, Group Index, and Predicates.
