Maybe you’ve heard what test automation is but you’re unsure about how to fit it all together in practice. If that’s you, then you feel just like I did when I was first getting my head around how test automation works. So many conversations about testing quickly become abstract and sometimes we simply want to…

Regression testing is a specific form of testing that verifies whether a given piece of software suffered regressions after undergoing changes. “Regression” here means “going back to a previous undesired state.” So automated regression testing is nothing more than the process of automatically verifying that the application has not regressed to a previous undesired state….

In a world where technology moves at breakneck speed, most of us know the importance of keeping pace. That’s why traditional software development models are rapidly giving way to methodologies that are more dynamic. DevOps is a partnership that emerged from this climate. The DevOps approach emphasizes communication, collaboration, and integration. And it does that…

“Automated testing” used to be a phrase that caused developers to scratch their heads. Now, it seems to me that most developers are at least familiar with the notion of automated testing.

What are the challenges you might face when doing so? With this post, we’re going to answer these questions—and more. We’ll start out by defining…

There are two kinds of testing in the world of software—manual and automated. Some types of manual testing, such as discovery testing and usability testing, are invaluable. You can do other kinds of testing—like regression testing and functional testing—manually, but it’s a fairly wasteful practice for humans to keep doing the same thing over and…

Software Test Automation has been there in one form or another for decades. Organizations had mixed successes with Test Automation even though few have been immensely successful in automating tests as part of their application development process. The benefits to these organizations have been huge in terms of costs, time to market and quality.  Why…
