Every software company tests its software or application before releasing it to the end users. Testing for defects is very crucial for a product’s success. This is one such activity that validates a software or application’s performance, functionality, quality and other important aspects of it. But, as the code base and functionalities added to software/application increase, manual testing alone may become a laborious and time-consuming activity. This is where companies have switched to Test Automation, to improve the efficiency of their product and save time. Automation testing has come a long way in the past few years. Many software companies…

Today’s end users expect only the best from the moment they download an application. Unsurprisingly, these increased expectations are placing a great deal of extra stress on the in-house QA and testing teams. QA teams face challenges of finding bugs (and getting fixes done) on tighter deadlines, across different devices and OSs. Another challenge is the diversity of user base and levels of their ‘tech-savviness’ which makes it difficult to find the right user experience for this varied user base. Testing an application’s compatibility with various devices, browsers, and OSs is next to impossible because of the non-availability of an…

User acceptance testing (UAT) is the most crucial phase in the software development lifecycle. It ensures the new system or process meets the user requirements. It is crucial to get the application through the user acceptance tests as it is the last quality gate validates product quality, accuracy, and compliance before its deployment into production. A successful UAT is crucial for deploying systems with no errors and business risks. However, implementing UAT in an agile environment might lead to frequent and reduced cycles of testing. This mandates UAT testers to develop skills of optimized testing techniques, automation and work in…

While attending the Eurostar Testing Conference last year in Copenhagen and on a recent visit to Silicon Valley in the US, I came across a question several times about the future of software testers and software testing companies. There is a growing sentiment that in the world of DevOps and Continuous Delivery, software testing as a discipline will merge with Development and there will be no need for specialist software tester roles. Will the software testers become extinct then? The answer is NO! In fact they are the future of tomorrow… Software testing has become and will become even more…

Software testing industry is becoming extensive with each passing day. Applications these days have started interacting seamlessly with other applications through APIs. With the sudden increase in the technology challenges, applications are growing in complexity which creates an incessant need for effective software testing. Software testing is the only premeditated way where an application can be observed under certain conditions and where testers can recognize the risks involved in the software implementation. Testing, on the other hand, is gradually transitioning to greater automation to ensure maximum precision and accuracy in the journey towards digital transformation. In an attempt to make…
