In the domain of software development, a “defect” or “bug” referred to is any flaw or mistake in a software product that makes it behave in an unexpected or incorrect way. Accordingly, the Defect/Bug Life Cycle should be understood by any person involved in software testing and assurance. This Life Cycle charts down all the […]
Successful management of any overly ambitious projects requires clear understanding of the intricacies of software testing methodologies, for in case of poor management, it is certainly going to bring chaos and confusion. The concepts at the core of these methodologies are broadly termed Test Plan and Test Strategy. These tools help teams define the approach […]
Test strategy formulation happens to be one of the most important steps in the quality assurance process for software development. It delivers guidelines that set a standard by which testing has to be done in ensuring the product meets its requirements efficiently. Well-defined testing in the planning phase provides guidelines on how best to minimize […]
More than ever, open-source testing tools are needed in today’s fast-moving and rapidly developing software development landscape. Testing includes one of the most critical stages for ensuring the quality and reliability of software products. Free open-source testing tools, frameworks, and libraries are at the root of this process due to their low cost with no […]
Nowadays, error-free software creation is a major attribute of software development. Two significant methodologies, which solemnly drive the developer and the team towards writing software for not only the required purpose but also ensure its robustness and reliability, are the following: TDD and BDD. This comparison will cover the methodology behind TDD and BDD, their […]
Performance Testing is one of the facets of software development that helps ensure the smooth running of the application under the expected workload. Performance testing tools help teams early on in detecting bottlenecks, improving response times, and sustainably holding on to stability, scaling the product. With so many options at your disposal, choosing the right […]
Welcome to unit testing, one of the most integral parts of the software development puzzle. Any developer, be it a budding one or a veteran in the business, should be knowledgeable about unit testing for the purpose of creating solid and reliable applications. In the following chapter, we will explain what unit tests is for, […]
Manual testing is one of the basic activities related to software development and is the base in building software quality. It is a process whereby QA testers operate and test a software application manually to trace out defects or deviations from the expected behavior mentioned in the requirements. This kind of testing is fundamental in […]
Quality Assurance testing is an extremely important part of the software development life cycle, ensuring that the product meets the desired quality standards before it reaches an end-user. In a mechanically driven innovative world, sometimes the cost of errors is too large to pay; QA testing ensures the identification of bugs and issues at the […]
One cannot overstate the importance of robustness and reliability in digital era software applications. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, serve as the backbone to modern software and provide smooth interaction between two disparate systems and services. Effective API testing strategies are therefore of paramount importance for these APIs to work correctly without breaches and failures, […]
