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 [...]
Exploratory testing is a dynamic approach to testing that focuses on discovering information about the product being tested, rather than just confirming that it works as expected. This approach is often used in Agile development environments, where changes to the product are made frequently and quickly. Exploratory testing is a great way to test [...]
I had an interesting conversation the other day, with a friend who is as far as one can possibly be from the software development world. From her questions about my work, and about Testuff as a company, I realized that for many people it isn’t that clear how the many applications and software they [...]
Our 6 Thinking hats posts series attracted much attention and discussion on how can groups improve their testing processes, and their testing management. We’ve since noticed that the “Green hat” (creative style) was subject to some questions and interest to learn more. Creativity can be used for software testing. You can improve your testing process [...]
Rose Island In 1968, the Italian engineer Giorgio Rosa decided to get away from everything, especially bureaucracy, and what he saw as too many rules and regulations. He built a platform in the Adriatic Sea, 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) off the coast of the province of Rimini, Italy, and moved to live on it, even [...]
Do it, and do it now Software development projects, applications of all kinds, are nowadays all about fast, fast, fast. Unlike the old days (not so many years ago…) there are less and less software solutions and tools that are not updated often - and often can even mean many times a day. The [...]
I’m sure there’s someone out there that loves to wash, dry, iron and fold their clothes. There must be. But for most of us this isn’t the case. And yet, we do it. Since we don’t like to do them, we try to handle these chores the best way we can, minimizing our direct involvement. [...]
The proliferation of AI-based systems, and specifically decision-making systems, constantly raises the question of whether these systems can replace the manual testing process, and the testers. The answer, as of today, is no. Automation Testing The part that automation testing is taking from the overall testing process, is growing for years now. Much effort is [...]
For a very long time, many years now, we were all told that the later in the process a bug is found and fixed - the more it costs. This was written in hundreds of articles, shown in charts, and lectured in seminars. It became the obvious truth. It probably was seriously first discussed [...]
