AI in software development is gaining acceptance, let us look at just how AI can perform in software testing- its possible and shortcomings. After evaluation automation, AI-based testing resembles the obvious next step. Here's how things have rolled out in the software testing space: Traditionally, manual testing has ever had a role to play, since no program is produced sans bugs. Even with all of the tools available, an integral part of the procedure is handled manually by technical testers. As time passes, test automation required root. In several cases, test automation is the only viable approach if you need to run a large a number of test instances, quickly and with higher efficiency. AI-enabled testing is making test automation brighter by using quantities of data. QA engineers may feed historical data into algorithms to improve detection rates, execute automated code reviews, and generate test cases. Let us have an overview of what AI can perform i...

What is software testing life cycle (STLC)?

Image
The process of executing all software activities in a systematic and planned manner is named as software testing life cycle. The entire process consists of certain steps that have to be executed in a definite sequence to ensure and uphold software quality goals. There are certain phases in the STLC process that needs to be properly followed to ensure quality. With respect to agile and DevOps practices, every component of the SDLC is optimized for speed and efficiency. In a way, even the software testing should be broken down in the STLC to ensure every component of application is verified and effectively tested to ensure high-quality products. What are the Phases of the STLC? – Requirements analysis – Planning phase – Analysis phase – Test case development – Environment setup – Test case execution – Test cycle closure Why should Businesses take up Software testing? Any application or  software should be validated and verified  using software tes...

What is Usability Software Testing and What are the Factors that Should be Taken into Consideration While Performing Usability Testing ?

Usability software testing is one of the significant building blocks for quality assurance. This testing approach can also be considered a typical example of the non-functional testing/Black box testing.  Usability software testing is principally done to assure the ability and understandability of the application. It is usually performed from the user’s viewpoint.  Usability software testing identifies whether users feel convenient to use your app or web site based on some specific parameters, such as the content of the website, navigation, design, and website speed.  Today, the usability of the web page is significant, and it is an essential criterion for survival. If a visitor to a site does not find it user-friendly, he will bounce back. So Usability testing performs a vital role in discovering how easy user interfaces is to use.
