2020 was a testing year for one and all. There were many challenges we had to face and still continue to face. One of them was the challenge to continue working even with the pandemic situation. But, thanks to technological advancements, most of us were able to figure out a way to keep working. And that gave birth to a new style of working for the majority of people around the world. The new style of working includes working from home.
In recent years, cross browser compatibility testing has gained a lot of traction as it helps ensure that no customers are left behind after updates. The pace of technological advancement has increased exponentially, leading to faster upgrades and changes. However, not all people evolve as rapidly as they are resistant to change, leading to outdated technology such as which consist of minor options, specifications and less compatible ones.
Responsive design is an approach to design websites such that it responds well on all screen sizes, platforms, and orientations. with the user’s devices depending upon their screen dimensions and orientation. This approach eliminates the need to design a new set of code for each new device. The primary focus is to deliver a consistent browsing experience to the users no matter what device is being used.
Cross-browser compatibility testing is the most important testing for someone whose business is completely dependent on a website. Take for example an online service provider company. It may have gone through rough testing phases but is there a point in exhausting all your energy when the end-user is not able to communicate with the website properly? Cross-browser compatibility testing is extremely important for a successful running website where you have one less thing to worry about.
As the world moves forward, it wants to progress, more efficiency, more speed, and the same is the case with the software development industry. Every software development organization wants to save time, effort, and money at every step possible. Software Testing being a major part of software development also needs more efficiency. Thus, comes automation.
Regression testing is one of the most critical aspects of quality assurance. It helps developers to check for issues that are introduced by new additions to their codebase or due to a bug fix. The aim is to check all those pieces of code that could be impacted due to these changes. It goes without saying that adopting effective regression testing strategies can save development teams hundreds of hours of debugging.
Responsive Web Design (RWD) is a term that was defined by Ethan Marcotte in 2010 according to which, design and development of web pages should be responsive to different screen size, platform, and orientation. Basically, the idea was to create web pages that look good on all devices and size screens.
Whenever a new methodology or a new system is introduced, with it – certain terms and guidelines are introduced too. These terms and guidelines are meant to be followed to ensure maximum output. But during implementation, some of these guidelines might be deemed not-so-important and might not be followed. Similar has been the case with Scrum Agile Methodology. Since it was introduced, it has been adopted by a majority of software development teams.
Since the beginning of the internet era, browsers and websites have lived co-dependently. Starting from the internet explorer, then to the Mozilla project and now to at least six major browsers in the market, we have evolved quite well. But browsers and web development technologies do not seem to be in a happy relationship. To ease out the web development, developers think of new ways to have a dedicated and organised system of sustainable websites such as subgrids. Result?
Cross browser testing can be a real headache for a software tester. You may have tested your application on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, but more often than not, some browsers such as Internet Explorer, Opera Mini, UC Browser get missed out. As a result of this, a portion of your users will not be able to view your product properly. Thanks to the cross-browser testing tools available in the market, now the cross-browser testing efforts can be significantly reduced.
Cross Browser Testing is adopted by developers in order to ensure that an application works as intended across all combinations of devices and browsers. This will help developers to reveal issues that might have been left ignored or uncovered otherwise. Each browser comes with an exceptional blend of web support but also has certain drawbacks.
Every mobile application, irrespective of its category, has a common goal of creating an impeccable user experience. App users want to see something new and innovative. And even though the great user experience is the most important, it only comes with quality. To ensure quality, mobile app testing is essential. In this blog, we will discuss a step-by-step mobile app testing checklist.
Frameworks are crucial for any automated testing process in a software organization. They not only reduce the testing efforts and maintenance costs but also increase the return on investment (ROI) of an organization who is looking to optimize their agile processes. A well-designed test automation framework makes it easier to continue running and improving the system consistently.
