A test suite is a collection of test cases, test scripts, and test data that are used to validate a specific aspect of a software application or system. It serves as a critical component of the software testing process, ensuring that the application meets the required quality, functionality, and performance standards. A well-structured test suite plays a vital role in identifying defects, bugs, and inconsistencies, enabling developers to make necessary improvements and enhancements.

Floods are the most common natural disaster worldwide. A flood is demarcated as an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Flash flooding befalls when heavy rainfall over a short period hits areas with inadequate drainage. Other causes of flood events comprise high tides, storm surges, river overflow, and snow melt. Each year, floods extinguish assets worth billions of dollars. In the last five years alone, monetary losses caused by floods worldwide were estimated at 299 billion U.S.

BrowserStack and Sauce Labs are industry-leading, cloud-based web and mobile testing platforms for developers. Both platforms offer quality features to streamline and simplify testing across browsers and devices. If you’re choosing between BrowserStack and Sauce Labs, looking at the basic features won’t cut it. You need to dig deeper and identify where the two vendors differ.

Effective software testing begins with a well-structured and comprehensive test plan. It serves as the roadmap guiding testing activities, ensuring thorough coverage, and delivering reliable results. In this post, we'll delve into the key points when creating a test plan that sets the stage for successful software testing endeavors.

Ever felt overwhelmed by the complexity of the system that you’re testing? Navigating intricate software systems can be daunting, leaving us feeling lost and unsure where to begin. While exploratory testing gives us some degree of freedom to test, we still need some guidance on how to approach those complex systems. This is where heuristics might help by guiding us to efficiently navigate the complexities of software systems and uncover hidden issues.

Is your startup operating with no QA team and trying to figure out your options for improving software quality? Perhaps you’re proactively thinking about your QA process before quality becomes a problem. Our maybe quality issues have forced you to finally address your QA process (or lack thereof). Either way, end-to-end (e2e) automated software testing is always part of the answer.

The agile development landscape needs strong and effective automated testing solutions to assure the quality of online applications. Choosing the correct test automation framework is critical for efficient testing cycles. While Selenium remains a popular standard, Playwright has evolved as a strong competitor because of its architecture and ability to handle the intricacies of modern online applications.

Confidential computing offers a groundbreaking approach to data security confidentiality, vital for industries like healthcare, finance, and government, where sensitive information reigns supreme. Unlike traditional security measures that center on data at rest or in transit, confidential computing shields data during the processing phase itself.

While working on an application that required executing a command to run a blocking program, such as a TCP/HTTP server, I encountered an interesting challenge. I needed a way to stop the application and its child processes when a signal was sent to the main program, such as SIGINT (Ctrl+C) or SIGTERM. This blog post shares my journey and the solutions I found to manage processes effectively in a Go application, focusing on Linux environments.
