Testing Materials

An approach to the development and implementation of automated tests for an application-in-test depends on numerous factors. A size and complexity of an application, a structure of a project team, instantly appearing deadlines, requirements for security, and many other details define the most suitable strategy. Further, we will describe some working strategies that can be helpful for any project that requires automation.

One way or another, all software testers have the common wish to make every future software user happy. This means that they need to learn how to interact with the product owner in any case. The following are 4 simple steps on how to set up such cooperation and profit from it.

Many testers around the world actively use Google Chrome since this is one of the most popular tools. Below we will describe its most useful and effective extensions, which can significantly simplify testers’ day-to-day work (with screenshots and cookies).

This article provides some resources to help you find interesting test areas and charters. They are also good for calculating perceived risks. Namely, we’re talking about such recources as CDMET – Conversation, Documentation, Monitoring and Earlier Testing. Let’s take a closer look at them.

Sometimes you can meet the following question on specialized IT forums: what is the best ratio between testers and developers? You can use various ratios and each one will have either benefits or drawbacks.
Further, we will analyze some examples of them in detail.

Every tester is in some way familiar with the concept of randomly failing automated tests. An analysis of the results of these tests can be really time-consuming and some teams prefer running tests once again if they fail. But is this efficient? The answer is not as obvious and clear as it seems.

Is it possible to finally get rid of defects and other bugs in the software? Why are there so many of them and what’s the nature of their appearance? It is significantly important to understand at least the basic reasons of bug occurance to improve the process of software testing.

Software development and testing are very specific processes. Especially when it comes to performance verification, quick bug fixation and releases. In this case, the best option is metrics measuring tools. And today, we’ll talk about one of such tool for iOS – MetricKit.

Demo websites are one of the most popular platforms to execute automated testing. They can be used to practice your skills and develop your own testing methods. Further, we will analyze them in detail.

In software development, there is such a thing as a bug bash – an event when testing is performed by a QA team, developers, designers, project managers, and other specialists who are working on a product. This method helps to find additional errors if any. Further, we will analyze its main stages.
