Software Testing and Quality Assurance

Cross-browser testing is the procedure to smartly test websites and web applications in all of the common web browsers that customers use nowadays — this guarantees that we deliver a steady user experience universally.   However, Cross Browser Testing can be the trauma for any Software Tester. Thanks to all Cross-browser Test tools obtainable online which assist in reducing the testing efforts. There are countless tools for checking and scrutinizing the web application for cross-browser compatibility. Some of them are mentioned below: 1.  BrowserStack -  With immediate access to around 2,000 web browsers runs on real iOS and Android devices, the famous BrowserStack allows developers and other stakeholders engage in cross-browser testing, irrespective that is to debug errors in real-time, snap a few screenshots, or to interact with the browser natively and check how the layout fairs when the window is resized. There is no requirement to compromise on simulators and emulators;

Nowadays websites are becoming more robust with manifold features. Also, with the majority of the company making a mobile-friendly website, testers have to keep in mind that a website should work appropriately not only in desktop but also in Android as well as iOS. Selenium Remote Control, gradually lagged behind since it did not have the feature for testing browser compatibility of a website across multiple devices. To overcome all these issues, Selenium Webdriver came into limelight. Selenium Webdriver supports several features that were not supported by the primitive versions of Selenium. Furthermore, it has the capability to test dynamic websites, i.e. websites where the content in a page changes dynamically on click of a button or other useful functionalities. It works by mimicking a real user who is interacting with a webpage. Plus, the API(Application Programming Interface) of Webdriver is user-friendly which can be understood effortlessly

Regression testing:  This is a kind of testing your software application when it undergoes a code change. It helps to ensure that the new code has not affected other software parts. Re-Testing:  After a bug or fault is detected and fixed, the software should be retested to confirm that the original defect has been effectively removed. This is called  Re-Testing  or Confirmation Testing The distinction between re-testing and regression Regression · To find out the issues which may get introduced because of any modification in the app · The purpose is that any new change in the application should not bring in any new bug in existing functionality · Verification of bugs are not countable in the regression testing · It can be done in parallel with retesting · For regression testing test cases can be automated · Defect verification is not coming under this type of testing. ·  Regression testing  is performed only when any fresh new feature is implemented or any modi

1. Security Threats to Data 2. Too Many Hardware & Software 3. Network Configuration 4. Device Diversity Internet of Things Testing ( IoT ) is the fastest growing sector in the Testing World. According to a report from McKinsey, by 2020 there will be over 30 M devices through IoT (Internet of Things). Biggest challenge for the Internet Of Things while testing: Security Threats to Data The amount of data collected and communicated by connected devices is vast. When such a great volume of data is generated, it also raises concerns related to data leaks or unauthorized access. IoT devices are vulnerable to security threats, it is important to test and determine security loopholes and address them instantly 2.  Too Many Hardware & Software IoT devices rely on the range of hardware and software components for its operation. With so diversification of hardware and software, it is not possible for expert testers to test every aspec

It’s more complicated than you may think.  Many people answer it bit straightforward ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. But the facts are, questions as controversial as this, are neither straightforward nor are their answers. People often forget that  Artificial Intelligence  is Artificial. The Artificial is generally a simulation of the Natural, where the natural is the original and the Artificial an imitation. Though, the Artificial can be better than the Natural in particular qualities. Artificial Intelligence is attempting to stimulate Human Intelligence. It’s pretty much like augmented reality, an area where we attempt to create fake realities that look as real. But, in spite of this, imitation is an imitation and a stimulation. So far, many things have been identified as existential threats to humanity, some of which are: A major asteroid hitting Earth Volcanic Eruption Extreme climate change Natural disasters e.g Bulbul cyclone in Bengal Nuclear war resulting in Nuclear winter Natu

What is Latent Bug? The latent bug is not identified in the older versions of the software app Bugs that remain unhidden or dormant are called as the latent bugs These bugs are not found until 1 or more releases of the product Illustration of latent bugs can be the date issues such as the y2k What is a Golden Bug? > The Golden bug that is occurred in each instance of the app with severity level high and with high priority. > These bugs are can affect the critical functionality of the software app or system. > The illustration can be behavior related to the prime functionality Follow me on: LinkedIn -  https://www.linkedin.com/in/shormistha-chatterjee/ Blogger - https://shormistha4.blogspot.com/   https://qaandsoftwareblog.blogspot.com/ Dzone -  https://dzone.com/users/3854036/shormistha.html Medium -  https://medium.com/@shormistha4 Bloglovin -  https://www.bloglovin.com/@shormistha
