The Vast Scope of Software Test Automation

Although software test automation is a specialization in the field of software quality engineering, it is very vast in scope. This scope is further expanding horizons today with increasing demand for automation testing services across a range of areas in the product development portfolio. When automation came into the lime light and in a tester’s charter about couple of decades ago, the focus in quality was primarily black box – obviously, automation also followed suit and was heavily reliant on record and play tools focusing on front end automation.

How right are you in using AI Test Automation

With the much awaited “crossover” of the Marvel superheroes in Avengers: Infinity War this April, one ponders over the fandom of these superheroes which has turned into some kind of a sci-fi worship in itself. Everyone dreams of having a J.A.R.V.I.S. for themselves, but a few understand the nuances attached to it. Being “Just A Rather Very Intelligent System”, it is but an AI program which is based on the same intricacies as any other AI-based system. Realizing how it is no more a dream with its coalescence with automation in the domain of software testing, it has not just brought in a higher level of efficiency in the processes, but has paved hope for the ‘fanatics’ to do wonders with technology, which in fact can swing both ways.

Knowing the bounds in software performance testing

As we all would agree software testing in becoming an increasingly collaborative effort. As a functional tester, one interacts with most entities in the product, business and engineering teams, both representing the end user as well as enabling everyone take ownership for quality. This balancing act is equally important in software performance testing too. As a performance tester, one not only interacts with several groups of people to understand requirements, business and end user expectations, existing baselines, architecture and its implementation but also needs to keep a constant check to ensure there is no role trespass. Taking this role trespass to the next level, sometimes as a performance tester you may even be forced to take things on your plate which should be done by someone else. Read more »

Better be safe than sorry with security testing

Through the looking glass

What does the world look like to you? How do you perceive it? Taking in the world with different experiences; different angles, everyone looks at the world through a different lens. Among the many who have a different vision, is Neil Harbisson, the world’s first cyborg who suffers from colour blindness. With an antenna implanted in his skull, he senses and feels the colours around him which makes one ruminate the lives of the differently abled and how technology has seeped into their beings to make their lives better and efficient.

Performance Testing Strategy – a gateway to smooth application experiences

A job well begun is half done. This is a strong belief in all walks of life – equally so in software quality too. And of the varied areas in software quality, especially in non-functional test areas, a robust performance testing strategy is very critical – it takes a lot of thought, foresight, discussion and brainstorming with varied entities including business, end customers, evaluating competitors, looking at market parameters etc. in arriving at a strategy that is practical yet top notch.
