Knowing the basics of object-oriented programming is necessary not only for programmers, but also, of course, for testers who interact with program code, study it, or write it. Insight into programming fundamentals enables QA experts to better understand the program behavior, give effective recommendations on how to improve the structure of program code, and, more efficiently create autotest code.
Test Automation Strategies That Really Work
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.
Using Test Retries as a Method to Hide Bugs
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.
Popular Demo Websites Used for Executing Test Automation
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.
How Can We Increase Software Code Coverage During Regression Testing?
As we know, test coverage done while testing various types of software means the total basis of software code covered with a test suite. This article will tell about several methods of test coverage that help to improve general product regression.
How to Properly Prepare Software for Test Automation
Before you start performing automated testing, you need to make a short analysis of the software you are working with. The more prepared for automation the product is, the fewer issues you’ll meet in the future while developing automated tests. Further, we will analyze in detail the basics of how to prepare for this testing process.
How to Implement Test Automation During a Sprint
How can we automate testing efficiently when we are sure that it’s crucial for such a short amount of time? Further, we will describe three most efficient strategies that help to rapidly close sprints with working automation.
UI Automation with SpecFlow
UI processes can be slow, contain bugs, and decelerate your work. Test configuration, bug fixing, and adjusting to software updates can become serious issues. This article gives a useful overview of ways to execute UI automation with SpecFlow and C#.
A Brief Review of Katalon Smart Wait or How to End the Selenium Timing Problem
As you know, Selenium WebDriver is the most popular and user-friendly framework for test automation.

At the same time, Katalon Studio allows you to quickly master Selenium, regardless of your programming skills. In this article, we will talk about Katalon Studio as a solution to the most well-known Selenium problem, namely defects in timelines.
Basics of Using XPath Selectors
In the article, we will give a short overview of using XPath selectors.
Correct Task Distribution Between Manual and Automated Testing Departments
Critical issues between testing departments and a project group can arise due to numerous reasons but it’s always needed to rapidly put everyone’s efforts into reaching set goals. Further, we’ll talk about the correct way to do this and the difficulties that you may encounter.
Common Methodologies of UI Automation Testing
At the first glance, software development and testing may seem completely different unrelated processes. But some of their aspects are extremely important for both these spheres. In this article, we’ll focus on some popular patterns and methodologies of web testing that will be helpful for UI automation in general and for the development of test frameworks in particular.
How to Start Implementing Test Automation?
Getting started with automated tests may seem something difficult. Especially for those who do this for the first time! If you are this kind of software tester, this article is exactly for you.
Resouces for Learning Selenium Automation

Wait Commands in Selenium
Using wait commands is important when running tests in Selenium. It allows you to avoid problems that may occur due to changes in the time delay.
Automation Tools for Testing Android Apps
Test automation helps to greatly improve mobile software quality and this, in turn, accelerates the process of product testing, improves general performance, and helps to satisfy client needs. Today a field of automation testing services offers various programs that can be used for the development and testing of mobile products. Further, we’ll analyze some examples of them.
What Is the Good Autotest?
Automation testing, while respecting the practice of continuous software delivery, should be as perfect as possible. Therefore, we’d like to highlight 5 features of good automation tests.
Useful (Healthy) Testing Habits
During software development, it’s not enough to use the newest test management system or a modern framework: really qualitative software can be developed only with the help of useful testing habits. Further, we’ll analyze the most popular of these habits so that you can use them.
Testing the Presence of an Element With Cypress
When you test an application with Cypress utility, it may sometimes be necessary to test the presence of an item. In this material, we’ll consider situations on how to properly test whether there is an element in the application and whether it is noticeable. We’ll analyze some of the features of such checks, as well.
Response, Stimulus, and Validation in Test Automation: The Fundamentals of Determinism
Any test automation contains a so-called core, which consists of three parts – stimulus, responses, and a certain amount of checks. Next, let’s talk in detail about each component to highlight all important things that can help make your automation even more flexible.
