Retail is one of the industries the most impacted with the digital transformation. A retailer reputation is at risk if the consumer has a bad experience either in a store or in front of an e-commerce website. Software quality assurance and software testing are important activities to prevent issues. This article discusses some main challenges of test automation in the retail industry.
Understanding the internals of web apps and their behavior inside the browser is important for the software testers. In this article Dmitriy Radchenko explains to us how the features of Chrome Developer Tools can be used for our web software testing and quality assurance activities, especially for performance analysis and understanding JavaScript execution inside the browser.
Software Testing is hard. Realistic testing of web applications in a real browser is even harder. In this video, Gleb Bahmutov shows you how to quickly test any web application using cutting-edge tools. Then you will see how to build high-quality software from individual modules using appropriate tools and creating an environment where bugs can be discovered immediately and fixed quickly.
Your team has some test data. Let’s say you loaded in a backup form production a few months ago. Your QA specialists are familiar with the data, but your software developers hate it.

If you are in bed with your partner but you are not collaborating, then nothing good is going to happen. This is thee same for quality assurance (QA) and software testing in Agile development projects.
Most of the time, software testing is based on comparing the actual behavior of a code or a system with its expected behavior. In his article “The Challenges of Testing in a Non-Deterministic World”, Donald Firesmith explains however that not all software and systems are deterministic, for instance an autonomous adaptive vehicle that uses machine learning software, and that software testing needs to adapt to this context.
This talk discusses elastic leadership principles in the context of software testing. You will learn how to apply them effectively in your day to day work and how they can help you as a software tester to become more effective, while making others around you more effective as well.
