Testing one’s own code is a common practice among developers, most of whom are driven by various factors such as meeting project deadlines, minimizing costs, and a sense of responsibility unto oneself. However, more often than not, this entails a good deal of blind spots which inherently compromise the quality and functionality of the software. […]
In the high-speed software development scenario, developers and Quality Assurance (QA) professionals have crucial roles but often distinct, significant mindsets. Developers create software, build features, solve technical problems, and push the boundaries of what software is capable of. QA professionals ensure that this software works correctly, satisfies all requirements, and is free of defects. While […]
Automation testing has become an integral part of software development, tailored to enhance efficiency and rich quality of software. Replacing manual testing with automation processes, a business targets quickening release cycles, reducing human errors, and hence, driving higher returns on investment. However, integrating and maintaining automation testing systems isn’t without its problems. The blog describes […]
Improvement of software quality is a multidimensional challenge entailing enhanced efficiency, reliability, and correctness of software products. As technology evolves and becomes more integrated into everyday life, demands for quality grow. Businesses and developers are squeezed with pressures for reduced errors, better performance, and firmness in the expectation that the software can execute, without fault, […]
The most vital thing in the dynamic world of software development is the eventless functioning of applications across platforms. Oracle VirtualBox becomes a strong virtualization product and an important tool in that process. This blog looks into the use of Oracle Virtual PTbox in doing cross-platform QA testing. We will demonstrate how this tool can […]
Two of the most common words used in managing projects, especially in troubleshooting, are severity and priority. To many people, these terms may seem similar; however, there is a difference between them. The distinction between these two terms is useful in any organization for managing tasks efficiently or solving issues. Severity pertains to how badly […]
Test cases have always been part of the software development process. They are structured tests intended to check some specific facets of a software application for intended working. The test case provide instructions consisting of test data input, steps of execution, and the expected results, thus proving the behavior of the software under varying conditions. […]
It’s part of software development that deals with the testing of the server side, literally the “back-end” of applications. This is important testing because it checks databases and server-side architecture for functionality and the robust integration of components that make up a system. In contrast to front-end testing, which deals with interface and user-interaction problems, […]
A mind map is usually pictured as a web-like diagram with a central idea and branches reaching outwards to represent subtopics or related tasks. This tool, adopted by many due to its simplicity in graphic presentation, has found an especially useful application field in software testing. The mind maps applied for test planning explain the […]
Functional testing is the phase of the software development process that is primarily concerned with making sure that the software system is built in accordance with the specified requirements. It ensures high-quality software by validating it for desired functionalities. In this kind of testing, features, behavior of the system, and operational abilities of the software […]
