We all have a tendency, or a need, to improve things. We want the results to be better, and then better. Sometimes, that extra touch, that extra effort, ends up with a great outcome, but in other cases it turns to be a setback for something that was working fine before. Think of the software [...]
Within the software testing world, there exist a range of different tools, such as automation tools, bug tracking, test management and others. While it is possible to select each tool ‘a la carte’, some of the major releases come as all-or-nothing application lifecycle management (ALM) suites that combine all the potential features into one convenient [...]
When we first launched Testuff over 4 years ago, it certainly wasn’t with James Bach in mind. Although Mr. Bach had already established a substantial following thanks to his many contributions to the world of software testing, our initial foray into the industry happened quite independently of him. Our founding, our growth, our entire vision [...]
In a perfect world, we (the software providers) should have enough time to develop and complete the perfect product - one that it is intuitive, easy to use, and full of the most in-demand features - before selling it at a reasonable price. I am reminded of a quote from Armageddon when one of the [...]

Not in just how software and services can be delivered, but also from the all important angle of ‘customer service’. What does customer service have to do with it all? A lot!

“You’ll learn more about a road by traveling it than be consulting all the maps in the world.” Anonymous When a year starts, we all tend to make personal resolutions. Companies make road maps and yearly plans for their budgets, marketing, resources and product development. As a small but fast-growing company ourselves, we thought it [...]
Perhaps this is not strictly related to Testuff, but my article with Dr. Carlos Cid was recently published on SearchSecurity. Hope it might give some of you ideas on evaluating security for open-source as well as closed-source projects. The scope covers more than security-testing, but touches on elements of testing and assessment for security bugs [...]
In the testing community, lots of companies use many different automation tools. It saves a lot of trouble going through repetitive tasks that the computer is quite capable of doing by itself. At Testuff, we don't try to compete with those tools. They've been around for a while, they do a pretty good job, and [...]
You probably don’t even know, and I bet you use maybe 2-3 of them. 4 if you are really into washing your clothes as a hobby. This applies to most of our appliances and gadgets, our mobile phones, ipods and digital cameras. We usually don’t even know what the options are; we simply use [...]
Yes, it has been two weeks since my last post. During this time we worked very hard on fixing and releasing Testuff 1.1 for the general QA public. Unfortunately, it took us longer to release Testuff 1.1 than what we had anticipated. So, after it was finally out, we gathered round the round table and [...]
