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 [...]
As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the way in which we interact with our devices and apps is constantly changing. For end users, these changes can bring about new and exciting features that make our lives easier and more convenient. However, for vendors and developers, the process of implementing these changes [...]
We are always talking about how we work for you. For the tester. Well, it’s true... we do think of you when planning our road map. Every feature, every enhancement, every testing service – they were all planned to help you with your testing. This has made us think about all of you out [...]
In a recent email exchange with a long-time Testuff user, we learned that he wasn't using one of the main screens in our platform. In fact, he wasn't even paying attention to that screen. After digging a little deeper, we discovered that several others were in the same boat. This surprised us given the usefulness [...]
It’s one of the most frustrating things in the world. You invest time and resources finding that perfect software product. And you finally find a solution that does 99% of what you want.

It happens. Change is inevitable – and in many cases – initially not welcomed. Parisians abhorred the Eiffel Tower originally. Now it’s a symbolic icon of all that is French. People hated Gmail’s threaded conversations. Now it’s one Gmail’s most popular features. Universal suffrage was a tough sell. Now countries that disenfranchise women are deemed [...]
We’ve touched on this theme a bit in the past – whether or not testers should be involved in the software design process. Our feelings are pretty straightforward (spoiler alert – the answer is “yes” they should be involved). But before we explain why and to what extent, let’s look at some of the pros [...]
There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time - I owe him my best. - Joe DiMaggio At Testuff, we’re definitely not baseball hall of famers (the gap between professional sports and test management is as wide as one can imagine). And children are not our target [...]
So much of history centers around extraordinary individuals accomplishing extraordinary feats. From Columbus to Gandhi to Steve Jobs, we celebrate individual successes, weaving their victories into our hero folklore. It’s a beautiful narrative – one that holds true in many situations. But are individual pioneers the true forces behind so many of the amazing innovations [...]
