There are many topics which fuel debates and emotional discussions within the software testing community, but it seems that there’s one that really makes everyone excited - Metrics! How do you measure your testing efforts? What is the best way to evaluate effectiveness, and which elements should be quantified? How do we know if the [...]
Wouldn't it be nice to put a few ideas in the developers minds? Here's a challenge for you. let's have your "Inception ideas", what would you implant in your developers mind if you had the chance, in order to help you with your testing. We know it's easier for Leonardo Dicaprio, with the help of the [...]
30 days of world cup in South Africa are over now. We have watched many of the games, and followed the stories around the games, and the teams. One of the more interesting facts, now also talked about in the media, is that it was a "teams" world cup rather than a "stars" one. Seems [...]
As a company, which develops tools and services for the software testing industry, it is important for us to follow up on its trends and future predictions.
