What is test harness

In this article, we will see what is test harness and how it is applicable to testers. Let’s get started.

I am not a big fan of labels. If I have to check a few aspects before I determine whether or not QA can be started, I will make a list and perform the action.

In my opinion, it does not matter if I officially call it a “Test readiness review” operation or not. If I’m fulfilling my responsibilities, there’s no need for a label.

How to Perform Post-Release Testing Effectively and Minimize Impact of the Release to Live Clients

Perform Post-Release Testing Effectively

In this article, you will find out all about performing post-release testing effectively and minimizing the impact of the release to live clients.

When I started my career as a QA, I was working with a company that offered its products as SaaS. Production releases are critical and there is a possibility of affecting the functionality for live clients.

As our client base grew, to manage the risk and minimize the impact of the release to live clients, QA team adopted the post-release testing practice.

This was all new to me and I had so many questions and doubts in my mind:

  • What is post-release testing?
  • I tested everything properly, why do we need to do post-release testing?
  • Can I test everything all over again? What exactly do I do for post-release verification?

Exploratory Testing Tours: How to Ensure a High-Quality Software Product using Exploratory Test Tours

Exploratory testing is not a testing methodology. Rather, it is an approach to quality verification. The procedure of exploratory testing execution resembles the discovery and investigation of any software product.

During exploratory testing, a QA specialist examines a product, designs tests, executes test cases, and analyzes the test results simultaneously.

In comparison to traditional testing, an exploratory checking approach helps to detect more software bugs due to untypical scenarios.

But few people are sure that during exploratory testing, QA specialists can miss the core functionality of the product and leave it without verification.
