You might not know it, but today is the perfect time for software testers and quality assurance teams to take a step back, reflect on progress, and ensure you finish the year off strongly.
As a software tester, I’ve always wondered how organisations like NASA test their critical systems. After all, their systems are unique and complex, and the stakes are almost incomprehensibly high—a single software bug can result in catastrophic failure and loss of life.
Hello, fellow software testing enthusiasts! I’m excited to share something I’m passionate about and have been working on diligently for the last two years—Testing Times, a LinkedIn newsletter dedicated to exploring the latest trends, insights, and innovations in software testing.
Universities play a crucial role in developing the next generation of computing professionals. However, by adopting a short-sighted approach to test tools, academic institutions are missing a crucial aspect from their computing and information systems degree courses.
Test tools have long been essential to software quality and testing efficiency, but over the years, they have transformed significantly, becoming more powerful, cost-effective, and reliable than ever before. One test tool suite has been at the forefront of this evolution, tracing its lineage back to the 1990s.
Service Virtualization (SV) remains one of the most criminally underused tools in software testing. It’s astonishing to me just how many organisations still ignore its benefits – test earlier and save money. If you’re not using SV, you are missing out—plain and simple.
If you need to test multiple devices, OS versions, or browser types, you need UFT Digital Lab from OpenText (previously known as Mobile Center and UFT Mobile). It has a comprehensive suite of features specifically designed for mobile, tablet and web testing across myriad platforms.
TruClient significantly speeds up the script creation process and allows you to capture true end-to-end application performance, including protocol level and front-end performance, e.g. how long screens or pages load.
If you’re involved with waterfall projects, you may well be familiar with the test management tool ALM/Quality Center (ALM/QC), but you might be surprised at its capabilities. The latest release, Version 24.1, is a modern test management powerhouse.
Value Stream Management (VSM) can revolutionise your business, driving customer value and removing unnecessary costs and investments. However, it does require a rethink of internal processes and culture, which can be a daunting prospect. Fortunately, ValueEdge from OpenText is an end-to-end suite of powerful, user-friendly, intuitive tools that make VSM easy!
