Quality software is essential for any business, large or small. With so many new software applications being developed every day and the rise of the cloud, this is a trend that will only continue to grow. In order for software to be of high quality, testing is essential. Testing has become an essential part of the software development life cycle. But how do you know if the testing that’s been completed so far has been…
Creating high-quality user experiences is essential to the success of your application. It’s how users judge your app. If it feels clunky, confusing, or slow, users will abandon it and likely not return. With that in mind, you want to be confident that your app has a user experience that will stand up to scrutiny from normal users who just want to get things done. That means testing it thoroughly and finding any usability issues…
Quality assurance is a key part of software development, testing being one of its most important elements. Both static and dynamic testing are essential for ensuring the quality of your software. Both types of testing ensure the quality of your software in different ways. Static testing focuses on analyzing code at a semantic level to detect bugs or defects before users see it, while dynamic testing focuses on testing and validating the functionality of your…
In software testing, retesting and regression testing can seem like they are interchangeable. After all, both involve testing the same software again to check if new versions have introduced any bugs or problems. However, there is a big difference between retesting and regression testing as they are used in different situations. Both types of testing have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to understand the differences between retesting vs regression testing before deciding…
How can you ensure your new software system will not break once you launch it for real? You need to run tests that simulate real user scenarios and monitor the software performance under different loads. In other words, you need to run reliability testing. Reliability testing makes sure that each system component is able to handle a specific load without breaking or becoming inaccessible. It is one of the most important software testing techniques that…
Manual testing is a procedure performed by human testers to verify the performance and functions of software, application or any other type of software product. Manual testing is different from automated testing because it requires active verification by a human tester. It’s not simply handing over automated tests to a machine and letting it run. Test that verify the user experience, look and feel; test that checks for logical errors or failure in functionality; test…
Static testing is a type of software testing that focuses on the analysis of software code to find any potential bugs and defects before the code is released. Read on to learn more about static testing, why it’s important, and how you can implement it in your own projects. There are several types of software testing. Each one serves a different purpose, with some focusing on user experience (UX) testing, others on performance checking, and…
Using a testing framework to automatically verify that your software works as expected is a common practice in the software development process. In this blog post, we’ll go through the different types of software testing and explain why you may need an architecture for your Selenium tests. Read on to find out more! We test our software to make sure it does what we want it to do — end users don’t care about all…
When it comes to testing your software, it’s important to have as many options as possible. Using just one type of testing can make it difficult to identify every potential problem with your new software. This is why many software companies use multiple different types of testing for each piece of software they release. Testing your software in all different ways makes it more likely that you catch any issues before the general public has…
Given the fast-paced world of software development, it can be difficult to know what is essential and what is just nice to have. The pressures to ship software faster and meet deadlines are real, so it’s important for coders to find ways to streamline their process and cut down on wasted time. If you’re working on a piece of software that uses artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning, there are some additional considerations you’ll want…
