1G brought us communication. 2G enabled texting. 3G united talking, texting, and data. 4G is a faster version of 3G. In 2019, we`ll see the launch of 5G. It has received a lot of hype in the media field, especially about the way it might change the industries. Our team decided to join those who research the topic, share the insights of 5G pros and cons, and explain what`s in it for businesses.

What is 5G?

Ericsson, a company engaged in 5G infrastructure research, estimates: there will be over 1.5 billion of people connected to the network by 2024. But 5G mobile technology is not just speedy downloads. With the new network come fast connectivity, remote device control (IoT), low latency, and all-around coverage that supports smart vehicles and ensures smooth traffic flow. Real-tim...

Automate or not to automate: that is a never-ending debate. Let`s face it: a fast-growing amount of data in software testing and programming leave no choice but to replace manual practices with more efficient automated solutions. Although it`s still not always clear which situations are best suited for automation, the tools are becoming refined and more accurate with each year, while the role of QA automation tester is dropping. The world of IT is moving fast to automating technical aspects of software. But the use of the human resource is left for more important tasks. Therefore, we don`t believe in Automation Doom`s Day coming to battle the role of a tester. On the contrary, a career in QA becomes more exciting, tedious testing fades away, while business understanding, user-orientation, and expanded project management opportunities evolve....

We`ve been hearing a lot about the emerging violence in video games and their contribution to children's aggressive behavior, poor social skills, physical and mental damage. In 2014, the American Psychological Association posted research proving video games (including shooters) can be powerful boosters of socialization and brain development. Experts at the APA suggest a good game would strengthen cognitive skills: memory, reasoning, spatial navigation, and three-dimensional object perception. Opinions differ, but what are the technical aspects that make a good game today? And what is the role of QA engineer in the process of creating a high-quality product for this billion-dollar industry?

Faultless Functionality

Deviations in functionality have an unfavorable impact on end-user experience. System crashing, progression blocks, or game freezing are the defects for a tester to keep in mind while checking the software. They evaluate the entire game map. Often, video game te...

Effective yet time-consuming manual QA and code-based automated testing services have always brought the highest product quality possible. But such approach doesn`t fit fast and ever-changing IT market. Transforming QA testing by a combination of manual and codeless automation technologies seems to be a promising way out. Let`s figure out why :)

How does codeless testing work?

Learning programming language to master code writing takes time, patience, and efforts. That`s why automation testers would feel like walking on no man`s land, being a bit of both: a programmer and a QA engineer. Although modern tester builds up a deep understanding of various technologies, often coding distracts QA specialists from their primary function. Therefore, the “codeless future” has become a background to rethink the prior function of QA engineers. To make it clear, one shouldn`t take the notion of “codeless testi...

However, the users are rigorous about low-quality apps, so fast release is never a great idea. To make an app truly competitive, it must undergo a profound QA strategy. This...
