The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
By incorporating AI and machine learning into mobile testing tools, teams can become more efficient in test automation. In this article, we'll look at how the adoption of AI and machine learning will improve these tools and what the future of testing might look like.
User interface testing (sometimes called graphical user interface testing) involves testing software applications according to what the end user will see on their screen and how they’ll interact with it. For example, can you type in text boxes or click the checkboxes? Are fonts, headers, and other visual elements correct? UI testing can be done manually or with a test automation tool.
Even with the increasing adoption of Agile and DevOps, many organizations still consider testers the gatekeepers of quality and are solely held responsible for the quality and approving releases. Such organizations blame testers for a missed production bug. No matter how much you test, a few bugs can still slip through the testing phase & reach production. Every software tester would have come across a situation of a missed bug. For many testers, it’s a terrifying nightmare.
Last month of winter is over and the spirit of spring is already in the air. We did a lot of work to improve Loadero last month, but the last week of February was filled with shocking events for us, as it was for the whole world. We support the people of Ukraine suffering from what happens in their country right now and every day we hope that it ends soon. There is nothing more important than peace, and we hope it will be restored soon.
Software development is constantly evolving, from technologies to best practices to methodologies. But the end goal remains the same: how can we bring new features to market faster to keep our customers happy without sacrificing the quality of our product? Enter DevOps. DevOps is an engineering culture or philosophy that aims to increase the speed and efficiency of the software development process so companies can innovate faster while maintaining the integrity of their product.
Being a manual tester is a mentally-taxing career. It is basically part of the job to be stressed out by the number of tests and stretched thin by tight deadlines. In the middle of this chaos, have you ever wondered ”Shouldn’t this huge amount of tests be automated?”.
What: Katalon is deprecating its embedded script repository based on uploads of.ZIP files. Why: Katalon wants to encourage QA teams to adopt industry best practices by using generally available version control systems as script repositories. Katalon has integrations available for a number of the most popular Git-based repositories. Who is affected: All users that have imported.ZIP-based repositories into Katalon TestOps and Katalon Studio instead of integrating to version control systems.
At k6 we regularly get a request to support another programming language in addition to JavaScript. Go developers would like to write test scripts in Go, Java developers migrating from jMeter would like to write tests in Java. We have evaluated these requests and discussed in detail internally if this is a good direction for the k6 tool. Ultimately we have decided against supporting more programming languages for scripting. Below is our reasoning for this decision.
