Many questions arise whenever adopting exploratory testing (ET), primarily due to misunderstandings about what it means. The fact that exploratory testing is mainly unstructured, especially compared to the traditional scripted testing approach that is highly detailed and restrictive, makes it harder to connect it to the word “plan.” Sometimes, users call it ad hoc. Does all this mean that we can’t prepare ourselves for exploratory testing and establish some level of plan for it?

First published on the BSA site along with DXC Technology Data analytics and generative AI are revolutionizing the approach organizations take to software development, testing, and delivery, enabling standardization and scalability across the board, including test automation and management. Like other sectors, financial institutions struggle to match the rate of transformation necessary to maintain a competitive edge.

Exceptions are a commonly used feature in the Ruby programming language. The Ruby standard library defines about 30 different subclasses of exceptions, some of which have their own subclasses. The exception mechanism in Ruby is very powerful but often misused. This article will discuss the use of exceptions and show some examples of how to deal with them.

MySQL and PostgreSQL offer many of the same features and capabilities—but there are critical differences between these two Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) that cannot be ignored. If you’re not familiar with these differences, here’s a quick and easy overview: In this guide, we provide a brief history and overview of each database system.

Playwright and Puppeteer have emerged as two of the most powerful end-to-end testing Node.js libraries. Their robust APIs make it easier to test the UI and workflows of sites and web applications. Although they are similar tools that offer comparable features, there are circumstances in which one is better to use than the other. In this article, we'll look at scenarios where it's better to use Playwright than Puppeteer for functionality and performance reasons.

Sidekiq allows Ruby developers to maintain fast and responsive web applications by moving time-consuming tasks into the background. With multithreading at its core, Sidekiq can process many jobs at once. This makes Sidekiq an important part of Ruby or Rails applications that handle heavy loads or perform tasks like sending emails or processing files.

Mobile test automation has become a crucial aspect of software testing due to the increasing popularity of mobile devices. However, the lack of simple and focused toolsets has resulted in a gap in the availability of effective mobile test automation skills in the industry.
