Cloud testing is an increasingly popular way of testing applications due to its lower maintenance costs compared to on-premises testing. It utilizes cloud-based tools to simulate real-world traffic and measure performance, scalability, security, and reliability. Through this article, let’s uncover the basics of cloud-based testing, including its types, benefits, and tools. Table Of Contents.

The current software development era is an era of microservices. The complexities of large bulky parts of the software have forced us to break them into smaller pieces that can be worked on independently and communicate with each other using lightweight protocols. As a result, we increase the overall efficiency of the system by taking control of more minor things that ultimately combine to make the complete software.

With more than three decades of existence, this company in the payments sector supplies modern, dependable, and secure financial services to more than 300 million users and processes more than 7 billion transactions annually. Alongside being a major payment processor in Europe, they are a benchmark in Security and Anti-Fraud solutions and services in Business Process Outsourcing.

On 25th August 1991, a computer-science student in Finland posted the following message on a Usenet newsgroup: “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

Today's smartphones are far more than a device used for calling or texting. With several apps installed, they can become your virtual personal assistant. In a mobile-centric digital world, delivering an immersive mobile experience with consistent quality is a real challenge, where QA strategy plays a critical role. Carefully planning out what should be executed is the first important step to delivering fully-functional applications, gaining high retention rates and achieving business goals.

When it comes to creating a high-quality application or software, there are many testing methods leveraged by testers to ensure the application or software meets the best possible quality standards. Each testing method covers different functional and non-functional areas, such as performance, usability, compatibility, and security. System Testing and End to End Testing are the two popular types of software testing.

When creating iOS or Android apps, you go through the beta testing stage, often done after alpha testing. Consider this a soft launch for your app, allowing your beta testers to try it and provide feedback on what needs improving and what you can remove. Beta testing apps gain real-world experience and learn how your app will operate when used by actual people.

Regression testing—when done well—gives software teams the confidence that their entire application works properly after a code change. But doing regression testing manually is time-consuming, costly, and difficult to scale. As their applications grow in complexity, many teams end up having to throw more and more resources into regression testing—hiring more QA specialists and waiting longer for them to complete testing with each release cycle.
