I’m an automation engineer. I haven’t always been one, however. Fifteen years ago, I started my adventure as a software tester. Very quickly, I saw the advantages of automating recurring tests (regression tests), and I started to use specialized frameworks like Selenium, JMeter and Postman for test automation. It took time, though, for me to learn how to make the most of these [...]

As software companies strive to release software faster and faster, they must ensure that the software they are releasing is properly controlled for quality. One novel software testing strategy that can help to improve quality without compromising delivery speed is a process known as tap compare testing. Let’s take a look at what this entails and how it can help your organization. What is [...]

What's new in open source software testing frameworks? That’s a question you may find yourself asking occasionally. It isn't always easy to keep up with the changes in software development tools these days. The nature of continuous delivery requires developers to focus on rapid iteration updates to software, with correspondingly less emphasis on careful documentation of earlier versions and [...]

Testing mobile apps isn't always easy. Testing the mobile user experience can be particularly difficult. But like virtually every other pursuit in life, it’s possible to achieve with the right approach and amount of effort. In this post, we'll look at some of the major hard-to-test mobile user experience challenges, and how you can address them in testing your mobile app. The Big Crash [...]

As the field of software development has evolved to place more importance on delivery speed, the rest of the development process has been forced to evolve as well. In order to improve delivery speed, software development teams have adopted a DevOps culture that prioritizes concepts that support continuous delivery. One of these concepts is continuous testing. Test automation is a sine qua non of [...]
