Articles and Reviews on Testing Tools

Cybersecurity has become one of the crucial features of the e-commerce industry. Without maintaining proper security practices, online merchants put themselves and their customers at high risk for payment fraud. Smaller companies have a higher risk of security scams due to inadequate internet security from cybercrimes.

When it comes to holiday shopping sprees, Black Friday is no longer the prime event. A new analysis finds that more shoppers are choosing to spread out their holiday purchases rather than stick with the ritual of rising before dawn the morning after Thanksgiving in order to stand in line outside a store and then shop until they drop.

 In the Coding phase, the development team codes and tests processes applying unittesting. It is important that developers are flexible if any changes occur since it is the longest phase ofSoftware Development Life Cycle. When the building product finishes, it is released to the Testingphase.

 In the digital world, effective application performance testing can often be the difference between success and failure. Performance testing is necessary to make sure your application runs quickly, is stable, and can scale.

Your mobile app reflects your business, your reputation, your brand. Just like you’d never release a new widget without intensive widget safety testing, you’re not going to bring your application to market without making sure that it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. While an app isn’t a cure-all, the ability to bridge the virtual and physical worlds with technology offers businesses the chance to increase and expand customer interaction with existing products. From solutions that allow you to control your warehouse temperature remotely to home security apps, IoT solutions help businesses create continued and evolving value for users.

Cloud computing holds its importance in almost every field. It makes provisioning, scaling, and maintenance of your apps and servers a breeze. You can provision databases and servers quickly, and have your app up and running in no time using cloud computing.

Automation testing plays an important role in the software testing world. Many companies now in a need of outsourcing services in-order to excel their services and increase their business productivity. 

Artificial intelligence is going to rule the world of automation and there is more increase in the automation industry. So in this blog I sharing about the top trends in the Artificial intelligence and machine learning in 2018. 

The transformation is determined by the business needs, and the business needs vary wherever you are.  Your industry determines the kind of data you deal with, and how it will need to be used.  A medical database will need to find details of a patient’s medical records.  A retailer may need to track all individual POS sales, both to watch the financial side, and to observe the impact on inventory.  A voter registration database may need to give reports of people using various filters for marketing or polling.  And each of these systems has different details of what kinds of source data it needs as input and how the output data needs to be queried, all of which need to be checked for data quality before anything gets stored.

Firstly, it is absolutely necessary to regression test those areas of the application that are not being changed. Just because the code isn’t changing, it doesn’t mean that a change elsewhere is not going to impact it. Of course, a proper impact analysis of a change should highlight other areas of the application that may be affected. However, as we all know, things get missed and the first time you know about it is when something goes wrong in production and impacts your ability to do business.

Many test automation tools provide record and playback features that allow users to interactively record user actions and replay them back any number of times, comparing actual results to those expected. The advantage of this approach is that it requires little or no software development.

This approach can be applied to any application that has a graphical user interface. However, reliance on these features poses major reliability and maintainability problems. Relabelling a button or moving it to another part of the window may require the test to be re-recorded. Record and playback also often adds irrelevant activities or incorrectly records some activities.

Test automation framework is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing. The main advantage of such a framework is its low cost for maintenance. If there is a change in any test case, only then, the test case file needs to be updated while the Driver Script and Startup script remains the same. There's no need to update the scripts in case of any changes to the application. Choosing right framework/scripting technique helps in maintaining the costs.
