Verification vs Validation for API-first Software Development
It’s easy to create APIs very quickly. However, creating APIs that are reliable when used in challenging distributed systems is much harder. Many development teams are moving quickly to ship features to the market, which has led to the verification vs validation distinction becoming the middle ground between a successful launch and an incident that…

What Is Beta Testing? Process, Types, Benefits, and Best Practices
Today’s software ecosystem consists of various devices, integrations, and user environments. The same application can have different behaviours in each environment, regardless if it had passed through unit, integration and system testing stages. Therefore, beta-testing is necessary. Beta testing is the bridge between an internal QA team and a company publicly launching its application. It…

Model Based Testing: Benefits, Use Cases & Best Practices
Every digital experience we rely on – from booking cabs to transferring money — runs on dynamic, interconnected software systems. The speed at which applications are evolving is much faster than the traditional test approach can keep up with. Manual scripting breaks whenever there is a change to the user interface; automation will require regular…

Test Data Management for Modern Software Testing
In the world of software testing, one crucial element often overlooked is Test Data Management (TDM). As development and testing cycles become shorter, automated, and more continuous, the need for efficient management of test data grows. Whether you’re working in Agile, DevOps, or Continuous Integration (CI), having a robust test data management system in place…

How Functionality Testing Software Improves Product Quality
You may be surprised to learn that more than 70% of software failures due to unaddressed functional issues that could have been caught during testing. Think about it: you release a new app or system, a user clicks their way through a common user flow…and it fails. In our competitive digital economy, we assume performance…
