Software test automation services are an essential part of the quality control process. Unlike manual testing, it uses special software for the implementation of test processes and assisting in test management, design, execution, etc. To run automated tests, QA engineers apply a ready-to-use tool or solutions that require writing additional code. We’ve already told about the ...

The crisis has already impacted all the industries globally.

Sometimes a deployment of a new version of an app unexpectedly affects the ‘untouched’ functionality. It happens because the code changes are unpredictable. Ironically, bug fixing can cause new bugs. To take precautions against it, QA engineers run regression testing. Regression testing services cover the unchanged parts of an application to verify that the code change hasn’t impacted the general functionality. You can learn more about how to run regression tests and how they are different from retesting in one of our earlier posts. Sometimes, manual testing services aren't sufficient or fast enough to check all the changes quickly. That's when automated testing comes in with some helpful practices and tools. So, today, let’s focus on the regression testing tools. It would be difficult to come up with the “best to worst” rating or list...

The majority of people work remotely. The demands for city infrastructure change, and this also affects businesses. People choose online payments instead of cash, delivery instead of going out on the street, online conferences instead of physical meetings. Altogether, this causes a lot of complications but also allows us to take a look at things from a new perspective. We are glad to see that many companies don’t try to take advantage of ...
