Software, just like humans, is a social creature. It can’t exist in isolation, or it would be like a single grain of rice for a meal instead of a fulfilling plate. That’s why APIs exist. They help connect your app with others, amplify its features, and make it overall more valuable to users. APIs act as bridges, linking your product with the outside world. From this, you can clearly see the point of performance testing for APIs. You’ve got to make sure your “bridge” can support lots of people, withstand storms and degradation, and offer a comfortable crossing experience. Today, we talk about how to transform your API from a wobbly rope overpass into a Sydney Harbor bridge.

The Fundamentals of API Performance Testing

API performance testing is a lot like being a star, followed by hundreds of interviewers and press workers. Questions and screams flying at you. Flashes of light distract you from getting your point across. And you just want to run away and hide under a...

Mobile apps are all about ease of use and convenience. Nothing makes these two more prominent in your product than customization availability. Perhaps that’s why the new iOS 18 banked on fresh personalization and process simplification features. Today, we discuss Apple’s hot update and what it means for your applications.

You won’t find tips on automated regression testing here. This article is about proven practices from worldwide projects that will transform your development, not simply improve it.

For this piece, we’ve set up a meeting with our QA engineers. We compiled hours of talking from over 100 experts into a single, digestible post. Its purpose – to give you insights based on which you can automate regression testing in a way that advances your product and your business.

How to Get the Most Out of Automated Regression Testing

First things first. To get the most out of regression testing, you need to become best buds. So, we’ll begin by covering:

• Automation regression testing misconceptions so you don’t waste your time on them.
• Little-known truths about test automation regression testing that give you an edge.
• Things you can use to upgrade your regre...

If you showed a smartwatch to someone from the 1400s, you’d probably be burned at the stake. Today, if you brought up the concept of smart cities, you’d likely hear something like: “It’s cool, I guess.” As we’re becoming more and more accustomed to technology, it impresses us less and less. But, perhaps, it’s a good thing. It pushes companies to create remarkable IoT products that are destined to have a wow effect. Yet, producing such a gem takes a lot of effort. And the only way of securing a bunch of users’ dropped jaws is by applying exceptionally skilled IoT testing services. That’s why, in this article, we’ll be talking about what your IoT testing should include to result in a project that sets an example for the rest.

The Objectives of IoT Software Testing

It’s common to associate IoT QA with only one goal – improving product quality. While that’s certainly the core mission, it’s not all. There’s much more ...

Why do you test your software? To find issues, advance quality, and improve user experience – all are valid answers. But testing isn’t just a product refinement tool. Software testing services can shrink development costs, be a part of your scalability strategy, drive innovation, and more. Today, we’ll talk about the uses of QA that go outside app quality. We’ll dissect the most loved “forms” of quality assurance to see how you can fully benefit from them.

What Is Outsourced QA Testing?

Briefly, outsourced testing services presuppose hiring an external specialist to do a job. For example, you can partner with an independent vendor, like a QA company, or experts, like testing freelancers. When you hire QA engineers via the outsourcing model, you set the terms and conditions together:

• Project timeline, scope, and cost.
• How the personnel will operate and communicate.

Test automation (automated testing, AT) and continuous testing (CT) are the same thing in the sense that both of them can supercharge your development and business. But as practices, they’re like a carp and a shark – both are fishes, but you’d never confuse one with the other. There are a few reasons for automation and continuous testing being lumped together sometimes. Yet, this article isn’t about that. Today, we’ll dissect these two concepts to understand their differences, unique benefits, and which one suits your project better.

Continuous Testing

The main cause for the confusion between continuous testing and automation is that AT is an integral part of CT. But that’s like saying that a platypus is a duck because it has a bill.

Definition & Purpose

Continuous testing is a practice where software is tested continuously throughout the entire SDLC. Instead of dedicating a specific time to QA activities, tests are run from the moment the smalle...

It seems that continuous testing got a bit lost in the IT zeitgeist. And it really shouldn’t have. In 2023, around 70% of businesses used Agile in their SDLCs. While the adoption of continuous testing (CT) was hovering at around 50%. Consider that companies implementing these techniques operate with varying levels of maturity, and the previous numbers get smaller. Overall, continuous testing is lagging behind. So, in this article, we’ll discuss why it shouldn’t.

Immediate Feedback

Continuous testing doesn’t really have a dedicated time slot. In the prevalent testing processes, QA teams need to wait for a round of development to finish. Then, they can test it and approve the section or start again. With continuous testing, Q...

You’re probably using regression testing wrong. If we ask you, “What is regression testing?” you’re likely to remember the standard definitions:

• Regression testing ensures that code changes don’t affect existing functionalities.
• It confirms that the software works as expected after updates, fixes, or upgrades.

While these two points are integral to the regression testing process, they’re only a few grains of sand on the beach of regression testing values. The overarching goal of regression is to check everything that was done. This includes assessing your QA strategy, automation regression testing approach, team effectiveness, and more. So, let’s discuss what regression testing really is and how you can get the most out of it.

Regression Testing’s Many Values

Generally, we use the QA regression testing process to see...

ERPs are often called the “central nervous system” of an enterprise. And rightfully so. Because with a single, tiny issue within this network, you can lose vital functions and whole modules. Given that keeping your ERP healthy is just as hard as keeping your body healthy, having professional guidance and info on the subject can be the difference between life and death for your business. That’s why, in this article, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions about:

• How ERP QA works.
• How software testing services help your software thrive.
• What ERP testing should include to bring you the most profit, and more.

What Is ERP Testing?

We’re sure you know that ERP application testing isn’t just “finding issues.” But let’s recap the true value of QA to be on the same page. ERP software testing supports your project even before development and long into its maintenance stage. It aims to:...
