Best Practices for Protecting Your Test Environments By Indrė Vaicekavičiūtė Remote software testing has become crucial to modern software development, allowing teams to work from anywhere. With decentralized setups, organizations can test their applications and deliver products quickly and efficiently without being confined to a specific location. However, as convenient as it is, remote testing [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Data breaches are nothing new. As Digital Guardian points out, they’ve “existed for as long as individuals and companies have maintained records and stored private information.” But with the rise of computer technology, both the frequency and severity of data breaches have increased. Target and Home Depot are prime examples. But for every high profile [...]
Back in 2008, we published a series of articles (here, here, and here) detailing how certain companies were reluctant to embrace cloud-based software testing solutions (this fear of software-as-a-service didn’t just affect software testers – the paranoia existed across countless industries). In the many years since writing those posts, much has changed. The growth of [...]
For much of its 70-year history, the software development world has taken many of its cues from traditional manufacturing. In the very early days, for example, software testers and developers adopted serial workflows in which teams set sequential milestones and forwarded completed tasks down the chain – not unlike an assembly line factory. For a [...]
In the world of software-as-a-service (SaaS) testing, we’re under constant pressure to keep innovating. To be fair, legacy software testing companies must also evolve to remain competitive. But there’s an important distinction between software testing providers who offer on-site solutions versus those who offer cloud-based ones. The latter must continuously win over their customers’ loyalty. [...]
In many industries, the technical support department is the de facto face of the company. Customers end up spending more time with call center representatives than anyone else. But over the past few years of developing software testing products for the programming community, this hasn’t been my experience at all. At Testuff, the overwhelming majority [...]
