If you’ve been in software testing for a while, you’ve seen the relentless quest to define the “perfect” tester. We’ve cycled through certifications, debated coding skills, and built elaborate automation frameworks. Time and again, the ideal profile seems to land on someone who looks a lot like an engineer: methodical, logical, and adept at systematically [...]
By Gil Bloom, Testuff Despite advancements in development, testing practices and tools remain stuck in the past. Here’s why. When I first entered the software industry over two decades ago, the buzz around the future of testing was electrifying. I vividly remember conferences where keynote speakers confidently predicted that, within a few years, test automation [...]
Software testing is far more than executing test cases - it's a strategic discipline shaped by diverse mindsets that uncover, prevent, and anticipate issues across the entire software lifecycle. The Strategic Perspective of Software Testing Software testing is often misunderstood as a process solely focused on executing test cases and identifying defects. However, experienced testers [...]
By Arik Aharoni, Testuff CEO In this post, I want to highlight three fundamental challenges that exist in almost every company developing a software product, particularly when it comes to testing. I'm not offering solutions here — the goal is simply to expose the problems. Because once you understand the root of a problem, it's [...]
In the fast-paced world of software development, where new features, updates, and fixes are expected to be delivered at lightning speed, software testing is often accused of being a bottleneck. It’s labeled slow, cumbersome, and sometimes even unnecessary. But is speed really the primary issue? Or is the frustration surrounding testing a symptom of [...]
Mobile app testing is a critical component of ensuring that applications run seamlessly across a wide range of devices, operating systems, and screen sizes. As mobile technology continues to evolve rapidly, the diversity of platforms and devices has grown exponentially. Developers and testers now face the challenge of ensuring consistent performance and functionality across a [...]
In the realm of cybersecurity and IT management, even the smallest oversight can lead to catastrophic consequences. The recent global Microsoft breakdown, triggered by a seemingly innocuous 40KB update from CrowdStrike, serves as a poignant reminder of this reality. The event not only disrupted operations worldwide but also sparked an industry-wide conversation about the importance [...]
In the dynamic and fast-paced world of software development, ensuring the quality and reliability of software applications is paramount. This is where software testing plays a crucial role. However, with ever-growing codebases and increasingly complex systems, exhaustive testing of every component is often impractical and costly. Test prioritization emerges as a critical strategy to optimize [...]
Revitalizing Software Testing in a Rapidly Advancing Tech World As the wheels of software development continue to spin at an ever-increasing speed, many facets of the field have evolved to keep pace with the latest technologies and methodologies. From the rise of DevOps and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to advancements in artificial intelligence and [...]
Following the good feedback we received on our last 2 posts, which focused on basic definitions and understandings of software testing terms (Beginners Guide to Exploratory Testing and Software Development Projects) we’ve decided to continue and explain other basic stuff that any software tester should know and understand. These are of course not high-level [...]
