Bug triage is a critical step in software testing that entails reviewing, prioritizing, and allocating software defects to the appropriate team for resolution. The defect triage phase is an important aspect of the software development lifecycle. It allows teams to analyze and classify detected bugs based on severity and prioritize them accordingly. In this blog, we will go through the mechanics of defect triage and why it is so important for effective software testing.

Picture this: you are an experienced software developer in a globalized world, striving patiently to create the most perfect software that can cater to customers from all walks of life and time, language, and cultures. You have spent countless hours coding, testing, and debugging, but you still can not seem to get it right. Your software works flawlessly in one region, but the moment you introduce it to another part of the world, everything falls apart tremendously.

A bug life cycle (also known as a defect life cycle) refers to the journey of a defect in which a defect passes throughout its lifetime. It entails all states ranging from the detection of a new defect to the closing of the particular defect by a tester. Typically, the bug life cycle in software testing depends on the organisation and the project. The reason is that the software testing process controls it, and it also depends on the tools used.

Software testing has many types of testing – Functional, unit, integration, system, smoke, regression, and sanity testing. Despite their differences, they all fall under Positive or Negative Testing. This blog post will explain how to implement negative testing in test automation tools. It provides an overview of negative testing with examples of common negative test scenarios.

Are you struggling with database issues such as data integrity, performance, and security? Look no further!

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about database testing, including its types, components, checklist, best practices, and automation tools.

We know Software testing is an essential part of software development. Static and dynamic Testing are two approaches to Testing software that are important for ensuring the software’s quality. This blog will discuss the differences between static and dynamic Testing and when to use each approach.

A clean test script is a good test script. But a well-maintained test script is the best. And while developers work hard to add/update application features, it is the well-maintained test scripts that pick out tiny mistakes that slip into the code. You can turn to automation testing to fix the mistakes in the software, but what if the test cases themselves are wrong? maintenance Testing helps here. It keeps the tests up to date, ensures AUT quality, and increases overall test coverage.

In today’s digital world, databases are crucial for the success of almost every organization. They store and retrieve data for software programs to function smoothly. However, as databases become more complex, testing them becomes increasingly challenging. This is where database testing comes in. In this article, we will discuss the top 10 database testing tools available today, along with their features, pros, and cons.

Different regions in the world speak different languages. And, its not only the languages that differ, they may have different ideologies, different standards and different perspectives on how the world should behave. But what do you when you are building an application for a world that is so diverse? You build in localization into it. And how do you ensure that this localization works? You test it via localization testing.

Static Testing Techniques, also known as dry run testing, may give you a feeling of drowsiness, but don’t fall asleep yet! In technical words, this testing technique ensures the software development process runs smoothly and without a hitch. This technique involves analyzing the software documentation, code, and functional specifications. Yeah, it may sound bland, but it’s a necessary evil.

An application undergoes testing way more than it goes through the development and modification phases. First, developers perform Unit testing. Then after production is complete, QA verifies multiple aspects, including Performance, Functionality, Integration, Regression, UI, and more.

Hello and welcome to another interesting blog. Are you curious about what we have lined up for today? Before I begin, I’d like you to consider the term “Communication Gap,” which is commonly used in our projects. This is a well-known phrase, and we typically believe that good communication is a skill that must be learned for years as if it is an alien language.

When a software is in the testing phase, different types of testing techniques and methodologies are followed on different layers. Two such types of testing are functional testing and integration testing. Both play a significant role in ensuring the quality of the product and delivering a top-notch product. In this article, we will discuss functional and integration testing – when to perform them, the benefits of executing these tests, and then the key differences between them.

Companies that can respond quickly to customer needs have an advantage as the digital landscape rapidly changes. Agile emerged as more relevant for an effective business model in the rapidly evolving technology ecosystem than waterfall, which was proven to be cumbersome and slow. Companies adopted agile transformations across all organizational functions as soon as they realized the value of being agile.

An application is a collection of several components functioning together to meet user requirements. APIs, servers, web services, databases, and more are intertwined under one roof to build software that does what you want it to do. For instance, your favorite e-commerce store has UI elements, cart and Wishlist functionality, secure payment option, rewards, login, and many more systems running together to improve your shopping experience. These separate modules communicate through an interface.

Hello there!! I’m excited to share my learning experience with you in this exciting new blog post so that you may better comprehend the area of performance testing. I was curious about the performance testing team’s work and the nature of their job until a few years ago. In my previous organization, it was a distinct vertical with a completely different reporting structure from the Quality Assurance domain.

Many years have passed since the first testing methodology made its way into SDLC processes. At the time, the software testing activities were simple and straightforward: validating the application against user requirements after the development stage was over. The times moved ahead, and the procedures evolved. Today, several testing types exist under the umbrella term of ‘software testing.’ Two of them are scripted testing and exploratory testing.

Imagine you’re driving a car with the engine roaring, the wheels spinning, and the wind blowing through your hair. Everything might seem perfect until you step on the brakes, and it takes 10 full seconds to bring the car to a stop. Conducting thorough testing can help detect such flaws. Non-functional testing, here, will help test the braking system’s response time, how well it works, how effective it is, its performance, and so on.

How many times have you heard the sentence that starts with “This software is compatible with Windows 8 and above” or “Only compatible with Android version 6.0 and above”? I am sure this would ring a bell for all gamers as games are highly sensitive to the platform they are run on. But for non-gamers too this would be the first thing they need to check if they know they are operating on an older version of the operating system.

Imagine you’re planning a road trip across the country. You’ve got your car, a map, and plenty of snacks for the journey. But there’s one crucial thing missing – a functional engine that will get you from point A to point B without any issues. That’s exactly why API functional testing is so important. APIs are the engines that power our software applications. They allow different systems to communicate with each other and transfer data seamlessly.

Today, all applications run on API. It connects one microservice to another, clients with servers, and runs the most basic yet essential application services. Clearly, a well-oiled API is imperative to ensure the smooth functioning of every system. If API breaks down, the complete user experience and application are put at risk. And only proper API testing can secure the system from such downtime possibilities.

Software testing technique, called Exploratory Testing, is about testing and finding issues that standardized testing methods might not detect. You must be creative and use your experience to explore the software and uncover potential defects. It is recommended to do exploratory testing for complicated software systems. Through this blog, we will try to gain a deeper understanding of Exploratory testing.

Consider you’re building a house, and you start by laying a strong foundation before adding the walls, roof, and other finishing touches. Just as a house needs a solid foundation to stand the test of time, software development needs a reliable foundation of testing to ensure that the final product meets the needs of users and the business. And that is where the testing pyramid comes in. In this article, we will explore what the testing pyramid is, how it works, and how it benefits agile teams.

We call it Ad-hoc when we don’t have organization or structure. Thus, ad-hoc testing will be when the testing is executed without any planning or structuring. Ad-hoc testing is a type of black box or behavioral testing. With Ad-hoc testing, you don’t need to follow any strict process. There’s no formal process of testing to document. Let’s jump into this blog and learn in detail.

This blog offers an exhaustive overview of System Integration Testing, including its purpose, process, and best practices. Through this blog, you will better understand System Integration Testing and how to validate the interactions between system components and the outside world. Now let’s start with a short definition of SIT!

When it comes to prepping a software application or system for release, testing is a crucial step in the process. GUI testing is a major component of this testing process, and it is vital to ensure that your application meets the highest standards of usability and functionality before going to market. Without a complete GUI testing checklist, it can be challenging to ensure that all aspects of the application have been tested.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and Usability Testing – these terms might sound similar but different. This blog will guide you about User Acceptance Testing vs. Usability Testing.

Hello everyone, Welcome to another interesting and informative blog. We all want vibrant images and a good user experience in today’s society.
