Needless to say that flaky builds reduce productivity and reduce the value of your tests and those unreliable builds are dangerous to all developers. A successful DevOps testing plan for most businesses begins with implementing the agile best practice of Continuous Integration (CI), According to a Survey of Flaky Tests, co-published by researchers at UK and USA universities in October 2021, shown… Continue reading How to Eliminate Flaky CI Builds in 3 steps

Maintaining End-to-End Testing using Cypress with TestQuality
When you’re in the early stages of launching a startup, rapid iteration and determining product-market fit should be your top priorities. Unless you know exactly what you need to build, you should write code quickly only to discard it later. Working on test automation doesn’t really fit in at this early stage. However, as you develop your… Continue reading Maintaining End-to-End Testing using Cypress with TestQuality
How to Develop a Structured Exploratory Testing Strategy
Structured exploratory testing is the real asset to exceptional functionality and superb UX if you want your QA to go above and beyond basic expectations. Executing functional, regression-based scripted test cases is the minimal requirement for verifying that your product functions as intended while testing online and mobile apps. Scripted functional testing, on the other hand, can only… Continue reading How to Develop a Structured Exploratory Testing Strategy
What is Quality Assurance in Software Testing?
Quality Assurance (QA) is a typical process for ensuring that the end product of any Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) corresponds to the overall and scope-agreed-upon objectives. Historically, quality assurance (QA) testing has been introduced rather late in the software development cycle. In a Waterfall process, for example, the software is created and then sent along… Continue reading What is Quality Assurance in Software Testing?
What is Test Automation?
Test Automation is a software testing approach that uses automation technologies to control test execution rather than a human tester. The actual test findings are then compared to projected or expected outcomes. Automated testing improves productivity and reduces time-to-market for your initiatives. Testing Automation is also known as automated testing or automated quality assurance testing. When done correctly, it eliminates… Continue reading What is Test Automation?
Rollbar vs Sentry vs Bugsnag. What are the differences?
After the application is up and running, we need to check error tracking when any errors or problems are raised. This has resulted in the proliferation of various error monitoring tools.Investigating the similarities and differences between these error-tracking applications will provide the answers to these questions and more: What is the meaning of an error tracking tool?… Continue reading Rollbar vs Sentry vs Bugsnag. What are the differences?
Why Manual Tests Are Error-Prone (And What to Do About It)
Like it or not, you don’t have time for manual testing. In today’s fast-moving mobile market, slow and error-prone manual tests can cost a company hundreds of thousands of dollars. There’s simply a greater chance of mistakes with manual testing because of human error.Humans make errors. Manual testing is prone to errors and produces erroneous test results.… Continue reading Why Manual Tests Are Error-Prone (And What to Do About It)
Fixing an Hourglass Software Testing Pattern
Automated software tests make it safer and faster to create new features, fix bugs, and refactor code. When planning the automated tests, we envision a pyramid with a strong foundation of small unit tests, some well designed integration tests, and a few large end-to-end tests. From Just Say No to More End-to-End Tests, tests should be fast,… Continue reading Fixing an Hourglass Software Testing Pattern
What is Ad-hoc Testing?
What is Ad Hoc Testing? Ad Hoc Testing is defined as random testing without a strategy. It is also known as Monkey Testing or Random Testing. This sort of testing does not conform to any documentation or strategy for carrying out this activity. The testing processes and situations are solely determined by the tester, and errors are… Continue reading What is Ad-hoc Testing?
What is Regression Testing? Challenges & Best Practices
Software development teams face mounting pressure to deliver quality applications faster than ever. According to the 2024 Accelerate State of DevOps Report, high-performing teams deploy code 973 times more frequently than low performers, making robust testing practices absolutely critical. Regression testing best practices have evolved significantly to meet these demands, incorporating AI-driven approaches and seamless… Continue reading What is Regression Testing?
