S1.E13: Exploratory testing | QA Therapy Podcast

Contemporary exploratory testing brings a fresh perspective to the testing landscape, offering a dynamic approach that contrasts with traditional scripted test cases. Some of us may have caught wind of the buzz surrounding exploratory testing, while others may still be unfamiliar with its benefits. But, what exactly does exploratory testing bring to the table in a world dominated by scripted test cases?

Balancing risk with the need for speed

The pace of change in the world is rapidly accelerating. Technology companies must prioritize speed to market to stay ahead of this curve, but speed can sometimes come at the expense of risk. The recent CrowdStrike incident is a sobering reminder that even the largest and most capable organizations are not immune to errors that can lead to significant downstream impacts.

Maximizing Efficiency and Savings with a Cutting-edge Test Data Management Framework

In today’s regulatory environment, organizations are compelled to adopt stringent security measures to mitigate the risk of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data breaches in their production environments. However, the pressure to provision more test data in non-production environments, often sourced from production data, has introduced new vulnerabilities.

How To Calculate Test Automation ROI?

Test automation is no longer a cutting-edge technology. It is now a standard for any QA team looking to bring product quality to the next level. However, some testers are hesitant. They pose questions: does test automation actually bring ROI? Or perhaps they’re wary of the struggle with maintaining automation test scripts that break every time a new update is rolled out. It is those questions that deter business leaders from making the final decision, but they have a reason to be wary.

Efficient Dom Manipulation With The Virtual Dom And Refs

Ever wondered why your favorite websites are so fast and responsive? It all boils down to how they handle DOM manipulation. The Document Object Model (DOM) represents your web page as a structured tree. Traditionally, we used JavaScript methods like getElementById or removeChild to make changes. But as websites get more complex, these methods can slow things down. Enter React, with its game-changing Virtual DOM.

Analytics Testing: Ensuring Data Integrity

Ensuring data integrity is crucial for accurate decision-making and regulatory compliance. Poor data quality costs businesses an average of $15 million annually. This highlights the need for robust analytics testing. This article explores the importance of analytics testing. It discusses key use cases and common challenges. Strategies to improve analytics testing processes will be provided. These will help maintain data integrity without expanding the in-house QA team.

End-To-End Testing vs. Regression Testing: How To Decide Which Is Best For Your Needs

End-to-end (E2E) testing and regression testing are critical aspects of software testing that play very different roles. E2E Testing evaluates the entire application, simulating real user experiences. In contrast, regression testing checks if recent updates or changes have inadvertently disrupted existing functionality. Choosing the right testing strategies is as important as testing frequently.
