We’ve discussed the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) extensively in the past, with posts about: Amazing multi-world games like No Man’s Sky. Self-creating websites through platforms like Grid.io. Technological breakthroughs like these potentially put software testers and developers at risk. We could become irrelevant in a world where machines can do all the heavy lifting. [...]
We recently came across an interesting article touting the benefits of higher education. And we couldn’t be more supportive of this idea. Knowledge is power. The writer went on and made a distinction between university graduates and those who only finish the same courses but in a college. Specifically he referred to computer sciences and [...]
With better reports, testing gets better. When you have a way to get a good view of what’s already done and what’s left and waiting still, a view of the results and the progress made, you can make better decisions. That goes to your requirements coverage as well. We’ve done some changes, that may look [...]
If you were to survey the bookshelves of software testers around the globe, you’d likely see all kinds of QA-related manuals, tutorials, and dictionaries. But here’s the thing. No two bookshelves will ever be exactly the same. After all, each one of us has different tastes and needs. Plus, there’s a lot of turnover [...]
At Testuff, we talk a lot about finding defects. But what about fixing those bugs after you’ve found them?

Last time, we wrote an article that covered some of the difficulties teams face when hiring outsourced talent – and how best to address those challenges. In this post, we’d like to cover the same topic again. But this time, we’ll shift our focus to the freelancer’s perspective. As a software tester for hire, what [...]
Hiring an external freelance tester is one of those options in today’s workforce landscape that some see as a necessary evil, others as a great benefit, but that nearly every software QA team eventually faces: Sometimes you need a few extra hands on deck for a short term. Other times, you want access to outside [...]
