There’s no good without the bad. So, if you’re contemplating automation for your desktop app, wanting to enjoy all its benefits – think twice. Because it comes with quite a few struggles. That is if you don’t implement it the right way. And that’s why we’re here. Let’s discuss everything you need to know to turn automated desktop application testing into an endeavor that amplifies your project’s value.

Desktop Apps Are Special, Their Automation Should Be Too

The core principles of automation testing services are immutable. But (!) to achieve superior results for your project, you’ll need to shift your approach to it. It’s like carving a sculpture. First, you need a good base. Yet, it’s how you work on the details that affects the outcome. So, let’s figure out some of the details for desktop automation testing. As compared to, say, web apps, desktop applications: ...

Automation is a dilemma. Do you need it? Is it worth it? Allow us to cease your hesitations. Automation testing services are a true gift to your project’s performance and your team’s development. But you need to know what to do with them. Because for a solution to actually solve something, you need to understand how to realize it. So today, we set out to discuss everything you need for profitable automated integration testing.

What Is Automated Integration Testing & Is It Better Than Manual?

We don’t believe that data dumping is a good way to learn. So, let’s explore everything incrementally. First, integration testing. It’s the process of verifying that individual software modules work correctly as a group. When you begin validating your product, you start with unit testing (assessing the tiniest testable elements). You check them in isolation before moving on to finding out whether they can cooperate with each other. After, ...

Software complexity is going up. User-centricity is taking over. And businesses get lost in all the tiny and mammoth tasks. We get so caught up in the bullet-speed progression of technologies that we forget something very simple: Fundamentals are still fundamentals. Pay them due attention and they’ll bless you with easier and trust-worthy development. That’s why today, we’ll honor unit vs integration testing. They’ve become so common that we rarely talk about them now. What’s more, we don’t treat them as something critical. And we need to change that. Because this duo of “basic” tests will be the backbone of your entire project.

What Is Unit Testing?

Unit testing checks how a piece (unit) of code works. Briefly, you take the smallest testable component and run it to see if it does what it should. In simple terms, a unit test could be equated to you examining a screw. Does it have imperfections? Is it easy to use? Will it hold the shelf in place? It�...

Test early. Test often. A principle all companies should live by. And most of them do. But it seems a certain type of testing has been left out of this golden rule for remarkable projects. Integration testing is such a common part of any SDLC that it has been demoted to a routine check. And it really shouldn’t have been. Allow us to tell you why.

What Is Integration Testing in Software Engineering

The best way to explain integration testing in software engineering is to compare it to its cousins, so to speak. First come unit tests. They’re conducted to check how the fundamental aspects of software work. You take the smallest elements of a program (units) and execute them to ensure that the basics are functional. Next are integration tests. Integration testing verifies the interactions between components to ensure they work together. Basically, you gather up related units that comprise a module and determine whether...

When you think about mobile app localization testing, what comes to mind first? Probably translations, currencies, date formats… And you’d be correct in tending to these aspects. But that doesn’t do justice to the impact of these tests. Thoughtful localization testing creates a home. A home where everything is familiar and cozy. A home which you keep in your memories and always want to come back to. That’s the feel your mobile app will have with these localization testing insights.

Localization Testing for Mobile Applications Is Now a Need

Let’s be honest. When it comes to mobile apps, people are used to having a lot of options and jumping from one product to another. And where there’s demand, there’s supply. Businesses follow trends. They pay attention to customer wants. And they make great projects. But how many of those projects do consumers actually care for? Well, you need to make them care first. And localization testing can do this for y...

To pay or not pay – that should not be the question. Because today, customers expect instantaneous request fulfillment. It may not always be possible, but that’s what any user wants. And a slight delay in transaction processing can cut your revenue in half. As nearly 80% of consumers won’t proceed with a service that loads slowly. So, today, we share insights we’ve gathered for over ten years of testing payment gateways to a utopian state.

Reasons to Run Payment Gateway Testing

You probably already know that the impact of high-quality testing goes beyond the absence of errors. QA services are a multifaceted medium that will often surprise you with its perks. And when you hire QA engineers, you make one of the best investments in your product’s future. Let’s take a look at what they can do with payment solut...

With the AI apps gaining $2.5 billion in revenue in 2022, the competition in the field is beyond fierce. And you’d think there’d be abundant data on developing AI-powered products of high quality. Yet, surprisingly, there’s very little info on the subject. There’s even less info on the impact of software testing services on AI. We might have a guess for why that is. But that’s not why you’re here. So, let’s dive into why you need remarkable testing for your AI app and how to make it such.

Why Testing AI-Powered Apps Isn’t the Talk of the Town

The biggest threat to AI-powered applications is settling for okay results. Companies know that AI components have unique values. And they use them to drive their businesses forward. But it just as well can be a part of the marketing strategy that lets people know an organization is “trendy.” Why are we bri...

Testing is irreplaceable. And the way you approach it is everything. From the Therac-25 disaster to Boeing 737 Max crashes – you know that quality assurance can make or break your business. Hence, for your product to be superior, you need a QA team that can support your vision. What kind of a team it should be? Let’s find out.

Testing Done By Developers Is a Double-Edged Sword

As a QA company, we know the value QA professionals hold. But we don’t stray away from the realities – you may not always be able to hire QA engineers. There are a few cases when it is more or less acceptable.

In the 1900s, the average human lifespan was 32 years. Today, it has reached about seven decades. Revolutions in healthcare saved billions of lives. And the optimization of medical devices secured millions more. So, if you’re developing software for such a wondrous gadget, you ought to do anything to ensure its success. While you’re under pressure to deliver, without exaggeration, a perfect product, you also need to think about:

• Deadlines.
• Available resources.
• And keeping the sanity of people working on this complicated project.

But then, automated medical software testing appeared to solve all your problems. Yet, automated testing (AT) is only effective when you set it up right. So, let’s talk about how to make AT worth your while.
