With the increased importance of targeting mobile devices in the software development world, we need better tools to assess the quality of the user experience (UX) on these devices. This article introduces the context that creates the need for a model-based approach to evaluate mobile user experience so that different software, or versions of the same software, can be evaluated in a consistent way.
Agile software development approaches encourage a collaborative setting in software development projects. Software developments and software testers and quality assurance people have to create a better context for working together. This article discusses how programmers can improve their relationships with the software quality assurance people.
It might seem strange that software developers still have trouble understanding. In this article, Jeff Knupp tries to describe what unit testing is, why it is useful and how you should perform unit testing for Python code.
A recent survey conducted by the Methods & Tools software development magazine asked who was performing the functional testing in the IT department: specialized testers, software developers or end-users. Functional testing looks for differences between the initial end-users’ requirements and their actual implementation in the software application.
Software testing code is like programming code: it can be useful in the long term only if it is maintainable. In this article, Mehdi Khalili shares some tricks on how to build a maintainable suite of automated test cases.
Software testing during the transition to Agile, particularly if you’re moving from a classic waterfall system, is not easy. This part discusses how to perform software testing when you don’t have the classical workflow of documented test cases and bug requests than in a traditional approach.
This article from Alan Bowers and James Bell provides an introduction to setting up a software testing infrastructure using Selenium WebDriver and Cucumber. It shows how to create a test suite for single-page web applications and to run tests across multiple web and mobile browsers via Selenium Grid.
