The Secrets and Pitfalls of Free Mobile App Testing
The number of mobile apps that power up our gadgets keeps growing, causing ampler competition. The rivalry drives companies to release new, better projects – and to do it faster than ever before. It all elevates the role of app testing to new heights. Professional software testing services remain the ultimate means of quality advancement. Still, they aren't the number one option for everyone. Companies also look for more cost-effective solutions, and the spotlight turns to free mobile app testing.

What We Mean by “Free Mobile App Testing”

Obviously, “free” means a team doesn’t have to pay for extra services, such as contacting an outsourced software testing provider or hiring in-house QA experts. It is about using tools without charges and involving people who already work with the project. BUT. Whenever there is something free, there is a “but.” Leaving software testing to developers, PMs, product owners, and everyone unlucky enough to evade the e...

What Is Quality Engineering – a Buzzword or the Future of QA?
The drastic contrast of opinions on quality engineering (QE) is fascinating. Some think it’s a revolutionary approach to software development. Others consider it a fancy term for an amalgamation of quality-related roles. Accenture describes it as the adaptation to the current demands and expectations for digital products. So what is a QE? The thing is, software development isn’t universal. Each company tailors its experts and processes to set business goals. Even the same position can mean different duties in various firms. The one aspect that will never shift is that quality is the priority for any successful project. The rest is for you to decide, and we hope this article will help you do it.

Quality Assurance Can Help You Overcome Scalability Challenges, Here’s How
Let us tell you a scary story of a failed project. Friendster, a pioneer of social media platforms, was born in 2002. In less than a year, it grew to 3 million users. In 2006, after refusing the purchase offer by Google, it accepted some VC firms’ investments. But the company did not anticipate the horrors to come. The VC firms prioritized growth over addressing the numerous bugs that arose as Friendster’s customer base expanded, exacerbating the issues. And after peaking at 10 million users, everything quickly went downhill. Accumulating software faults and a widening consumer base did not coexist for long. The platform could not handle the engagement, and people, constantly encountering errors, started switching to Facebook. Friendster’s tale ended in 2015 as it dissolved into nothingness after multiple tries at reviving its business. But at least now we have an example to learn from:
  • Do not put growth before quality.
  • An...

How to Identify, Manage, and Fix a Bug
Software bugs may indicate a lack of expertise or lower quality, but they always drive improvement. “Bug” has become a common IT term in the 20th century. Today, its usage is so mundane that the entire defect lifecycle is simplified into three stages:
  1. Bugs appear (why?).
  2. Bugs are fixed (how?).
  3. A bug no longer exists (will it come back?).
But for software testing services, it’s more complicated than “squishing an insect”. Developers and QA teams need to locate, define, replicate, resolve, and revise an issue to deem it eliminated. So let’s dive into the intricacies of software bugs and their untimely deaths.

The Challenges of Creating Automated Test Scripts (And Ways to Overcome Them)
Automation isn’t a trend. It’s a necessity. Advancing competition, diminishing software development lifecycles (SDLC), decreasing talent pools. These made software test automation services the prerequisite for anyone who participates in the never-ending race to the ultimate quality. The combative IT landscape rushes businesses to adopt automation. And not everyone is prepared to promptly handle its integral challenges. Let’s discuss what developing a productive automation process really is and how you can conquer upcoming hardships.

Challenges of Setting Up an Automation Process

If you’re trying to set up or optimize your software testing automation, you’ve likely encountered some of the following difficulties.

Software Testing in Scrum Is Not What You Think It Is
You come across another article that furthers the debate about software testing in Scrum. You get confused by the terminology – a software tester, a software engineer, a QA engineer… You are tired of the inconsistency – there is no such thing as a software tester in Agile teams. But there is testing in Scrum. Or maybe not? This entire discussion is overcomplicated for no reason. Let’s decompose this topic and, once and for all, solve the mystery of testing in Scrum.

Where Does Testing Fit Within Scrum?

There’re no testing teams in Scrum. Technically. Scrum doesn’t recognize the traditional software development hierarchy. It combines specialists with different skillsets and expertise under a singular role – “developers”. They are responsible for producing a valuable increment (a smaller portion of the project). Precisely because there’s no division between dev, operations, and QA services, the entire department operates as one. Such a colla...
