Supporting users for over 10 years, and communicating with customers regarding future plans, new features and their needs, has proved challenging but rewarding at the same time. There are many ways to support users of your services and tools. Not only how it’s technically done (online, email-based in our case), but also - and mainly [...]
I’m sure you are familiar with the term Technical debt. We’re all familiar with the ever going debates when designing and programming software - should we do it the ‘right (and long, expensive) way’ or maybe we should take the easier, faster road, which will get us quickly to a working new feature/product but also [...]
Season Greetings! So much has happened at Testuff in 2018. It isn't just this long list of enhancements. It's also the work we've done with many of our customers, to make sure they have the solution they need. And it goes further, to the work we've done on our infrastructure, the security measures we've [...]
My running mate and myself went out, the other day, for a routine run. An early morning run, 10 km in a steady and not-too-fast pace. All was fine, and towards the last 2 km, my friend suggested that since we are 'feeling great', as he put it, it's an opportunity to add 2-3 km [...]

We then explored the different preparations one can consider, in order to be ready for possible problems and [...]

A couple of weeks ago I went sailing with my family. We were all happy to meet and get a chance to sail together on a beautiful sunny day. Things changed however after an hour or so…. With slow winds and a wavy sea, there were soon some people who were feeling sea sick. Actually, [...]
In last month’s article, we discussed how the software testing industry was ideally suited for globalization. Thanks to cloud technology, it’s possible to assemble a crack team of QA experts from around the globe - all of whom work remotely. But whether those team members are freelancers, employees, or a mix of both, how do [...]
Globalization receives a lot of negative PR - especially during political election years. But it’s truly a marvel of human engineering. Case in point is the ordinary, everyday t-shirt. The lifecycle of this modern fashion accessory is a wonder to behold: Cotton is grown in some remote corner of the globe. It’s then cultivated [...]
Some Thoughts about The DevOps Era Developing and releasing software is a complicated process. Applications now-days are more complex, and deployment infrastructure complexity grows, so are teams working on software projects. Developing, testing, and releasing software quickly and in a consistent way, is therefore more challenging than ever. One way organizations face this challenge is [...]
