Software Testing and Quality Assurance

Scope of automation testing in the future E ver since technology is progressing at a speedy pace, the demand for getting projects done quicker has increased more than ever. To get projects done fast, the complete procedures followed during a software life cycle needs to become accelerated as well. In the area of software testing, automation can be implemented to save cost and time but only when used in time-taking projects. When it comes to performing regression testing, large scale testing, automation testing is the way to go. It can be a good choice. There are a number of necessary advantages from test automation like Increases the software quality, lessens manual software testing operations and eradicate redundant testing efforts, create extra systematic repeatable software tests, Minimising repetitive work, and generate more consistent testing outcomes, higher consistency.  Execute more software tests and accomplish better testing coverage in a very limited ...

Selenium is a suite of web browser automation tools to automate browsers across a range of platforms. It is principally used to automate web apps for testing reasons even though it’s capable of much more. The majority of the big-name browser vendors support it. As the web gets more complicated, using the Selenium testing approach has become more and more popular. Even though it has made web testing far simpler for many teams and enterprises around the world, it has its fair share of issues due to its open-source nature. Most of the challenges that testers experience have moderately straightforward solutions, which is why we summarize the most common Selenium challenges and how to fix them. Challenges You faced in Selenium · Can’t test windows application- Selenium does not support windows based apps. It supports only web-based apps. · Can’t test mobile apps- We can test on any browser and OS on the desktop using selenium but we cannot deal with mobile testing wit...

Testing is done with the intention to find errors and flaws and it is a significant activity to discover all sorts of errors. Every software development group perfectly tests its products, however, delivered one has defects. Test engineers always strive to catch them before the product is launched but they always creep in, even with the powerful manual testing processes. QA Automation Test offered by prominent companies is the best way to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and coverage of your software testing. The company used a series of automated testing techniques to avoid costly future issues. Beneficial and empathetic testing always diminishes the system cost as well. Customized QA Automation solutions When to QA automation test an application? Automation testing is essential in the following scenario of the Software: Big and serious projects Requirements don’t change oftentimes Steady Software with respect to manual testing Obtainability of time Access the...

As applications are designed and developed for varied platforms, spanning mobile, desktop, and cloud. Testing the user interface has turned into an increasingly complicated and risk-prone job. While having its series of challenges and loopholes, automated UI testing is gaining traction. UI test tools can effortlessly help in automated tests of software and applications that contain user interfaces.  These mind-blowing software testing tools utilize test cases to make sure that the software and application meet its specification and performs the proposed functions. Such test automation tools not only provide smart automation but also offer intelligent analytics to address any test challenges. Statistics Overview Some stats that prove that UI should not be taken lightly ever: • By 2020, there will be around 6.1 billion Smartphone users • 75% of all site traffic at present mainly runs through search engine-Google • 90% of audiences stopped using appl...

Python might not have bright years in the past years (which is mainly launch in the year 1991) but it has seen a continuous and amazing trend of growth in the 21st century. This stack overflow graph of major programming languages' growth exclusively depicts the steady progress of the PYTHON! The growth rate of python was not something easy to achieve. Python programming language is better used for app development, web app or web development, game development, scientific computing, system administration, etc. There are several traits of this programming tool which has provided it with an incredibly successful journey. Python has a main role in the new-edge technologies of current and upcoming times like ML and AI. Looking at the shining future of these technologies which are heavily assisted by python codes, several people wonder,  “Is python the future of programming?” Some features of Python that can project the reasons why it has become so famous: Free charg...

TestNG and Maven  are two entirely  different  things. TestNG is a testing framework inspired from NUnit and JUnit but presenting some new functionality that makes it simply easy, effortless, and powerful to use. TestNG is also an open-source automated test framework; wherein NG of TestNG signifies Next Generation. TestNG is exactly the same as JUnit but it is much more robust than JUnit but still, it’s inspired by JUnit.  This is specifically well-designed to be better than JUnit, particularly when testing integrated classes. TestNG eradicate most of the negative traits of the older framework and gives the developer the ability to write powerful and flexible tests with help of easy annotations, sequencing, grouping, & parametrizing. Benefits of TestNG Some of the major advantages of TestNG are : Annotations made testers life simple Test cases can be Grouped & Prioritized more easily Gives the ability to produce HTML Reports of execution The ...

Regression Testing is a software testing type to confirm that a current program or code change has not unfavorably affected existing features. In Regression Testing test cases are re-executed to check whether the previous functionality of the app is working well and the new changes have not introduced any new flaws or bugs. Regression testing attempts to mitigate two major risks: · A modification that was intended to fix a bug failed · Some change had an adverse effect, introducing a new bug or unfixing an old bug Necessities of Regression Testing: Regression Testing is required when there is a · Performance issue fix · Defect fixing · Change in needs and code is modified according to the condition · New feature is added to the software The short examples illustrating the use of regression tests: · Reappearance of a WinAmp ID3 HTML Bug · Removing Form Data in FireBird and Firefox · Reappearance/Mutation of Buffer Overflow in ID3v2 tags Some broad regression tes...
