Software Quality Assurance Testing Guide Tips And Practices

Test Automation In the competitive world of today, the product and service of any business are accepted by the end customers based on their intrinsic quality. The user experience thus derived from quality is largely shaped by the seamless functioning of the product or service across a range of device platforms, operating systems, configurations, and networks. Since validating the quality of such products or services in the shortest possible time is beyond the capability of manual testing, the industry has adopted test automation in a big way. Moreover, to address the objectives of Agile and DevOps based product development, businesses willy-nilly have to embrace test automation solutions in their testing cycle. It is worth noting that fixing glitches after a product or service goes live is many times more cost-intensive than fixing them during the SDLC. However, implementing test automation in the SDLC needs to be executed after careful deliberations, for there can be m...

DevOps Testing The consumers of today are a smarter lot who want the best quality software with cutting-edge features and functionalities. This changing dynamics of demand and preferences for quality products or services has led to a churning of sorts where staying competitive is hinged on ensuring quick market reach and superior quality of software products. The churning has led to the advent of DevOps process of developing software applications.

test automation solutions The need to deliver superior-quality software applications within short turnarounds is driving organizations to look for solutions in DevOps and Agile methodologies. Adopting these methodologies entails implementing software test automation . The primary objective of automation has been reorganized from being focused on minimizing the testing time to the efficient use of test cases. Test automation services cannot be implemented without the use of better tools, for these demonstrate how automation in testing is executed seamlessly.  However, one of the key challenges in implementing software test automation in the software development projects lies in choosing the right test automation framework or tool. It is a complex decision as there are multiple tools to select from and several parameters to satisfy. Furthermore, the present trends in test automation show increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to p...
