Quality Assurance vs Quality Control in Software Engineering
In software product development, many teams tend to ignore quality metrics and focus more on quantity. Such teams face challenges when building for production. They end up pushing to production very low-quality software that is filled with bugs. These bugs alone irritate and drive away product users. In 2022, research done by the Consortium for…

What is a Flaky Test? Causes, Impacts & How to Deal with Them
In software development and automated testing, consistency really matters. One of the most frustrating barriers that developers and QA engineers encounter is a little something we call flaky tests: tests that pass or fail at random times with no changes to the code. These googly eyed tests tend to do the most damage and can…

How to Use a Testing Suite in Software Testing
Quality assurance (QA) is no longer an optional luxury in today’s software development, it is a necessity. As applications become more complex, executing or managing hundreds or thousands of tests by hand is increasingly impractical. Testing suites in software testing provides a way to manage a formal collection of test cases to test various aspects…
