Software Quality Assurance Testing Guide Tips And Practices

selenium testing services Automated testing has come to the rescue of QA professionals jousting with the challenges of manual testing. In the Agile and DevOps driven software application development process, automated testing has undoubtedly shortened the time to delivery and reduced costs. However, automated testing requires the right selection of automation testing tools. Among the available tools, Selenium is placed right at the top of the technology stack. It is widely used to test web applications.  Why Selenium?   As an open-source testing framework, Selenium supports cross-browser testing of web applications and ensures the product to be market ready. Leveraged both by developers and testers, Selenium testing can be carried out by QA professionals without having a thorough knowledge of the scripting language. Migrating to Selenium testing services can give business outcomes like reduced testing effort, cost effectiveness, speed, platform compatibility,...

The pressing need for testing a software to ensure its quality and consequent user acceptance has encouraged companies to explore the open source platforms. The reasons testers prefer the use of an open source platform vis-a-vis a licensed one are due to the former’s flexibility, ease of writing automated test scripts and cost advantage, amongst others. A licensed platform, on the other hand, usually confines the testers to the use of specific languages only. Amongst the many open source testing platforms, the advantages of Selenium clearly outweigh others as far as test automation of applications is concerned. This brings forth the importance of test automation to ensure the quality of software. It does so by enlarging the test coverage area and by carrying out repetitive testing. We have no doubts that test automation is better at identifying glitches in the shortest possible time. In doing so, it also ensures faster time to market, a better user response, an...

Customers expect that the software or application used by them must function seamlessly. This is in addition to their expectations that the applications must have top notch GUI and robust features. In many cases, these expectations fall short of being fulfilled as businesses are bent upon churning out more number of apps/software to keep up with the competition. The race to be amongst the best can often force businesses to cut corners. The focus, therefore, is to hit the market with more number of applications instead of testing them rigorously. Such an approach can lead to situations where glitch ridden apps play havoc with customer experience. To meet the challenges in application development, especially web applications from flooding the market, companies are forced to take a fresh look at software testing. And when it comes to testing, test automation scores over manual testing for considerations of speed, time, cost and quality. However, automated testing is not s...
