Introducing Testuff Testuff test management tool, is evolving so fast, that our intro video became out-of-date. So, we created a new one... A short, and cool, presentation of our test management tool, briefly showing the main benefits. Take a look, then give it a try. It's free. The Testuff Team [...]
In theory, we’re all supposed to be on the same page. In the quest to deliver stable builds that excite end-users: Software testers are in charge of finding and reporting bugs. Software developers are responsible for fixing those bugs. It all sounds pretty straightforward. But the reality is often very different. There are times [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
As a society, we tend to focus on the biggest winners – i.e. those who defy all the odds and manage to overcome unbelievable obstacles. This tendency is especially pronounced in sports, with champions and home runs dominating the headlines. But what about all the guys who make it to the Top 100 without [...]
Way back in 2008, we wrote an article about the growing popularity of software-as-a-service (SaaS) business models. At the time, cloud-based storage was relatively new. And many businesses had legitimate security concerns about handing valuable data over to virtual servers. But more than 8 years later, the SaaS model is firmly established, with “cloud-resistant” businesses [...]
