The title question might seem a very straightforward one. “Who performs testing?” Testers, of course! It’s in the name! That answer would be a very short blog, and also not very interesting.

Fortunately, there is a huge variety of testing tools available. These tools cater to virtually every need of a comprehensive testing strategy. When it…
Deploying software is a bit like opening the curtain on a Broadway play. By the time the lights dim and the curtain rises, the audience sees a well-oiled machine—not to mention the product of months of practice and preparation. Likewise, software has to go through heavy deployment testing before it reaches the public so that…
