The numerous components and the complexity of required configuration to set up a well-designed test environment need a thorough and effective test environment management strategy in place. Not having one can lead to absolute chaos during the testing phase of a software development lifecycle, thus, affecting the efficiency and [...]
Test Data Management prevents your Continuous Test Automation Strategy from going into dump. Wasn’t automation supposed to take over redundant processes, lessen the burden on manual testers, and speed up the entire testing cycle? If testers are still required to keep updating the test data every time for the [...]
The world is contemplating on the growing significance of data to develop and leverage new and emerging technologies for diverse purposes. Almost all types of businesses and sectors in many ways are dependent on data to offer the best and right experience for their customers. Many organizations work with [...]
Online gaming applications get launched with variations and modifications to attract gaming enthusiasts. Every gaming application or any software launch is backed by rigorous software testing and quality assurance. However, when versions are checked it is highly critical for teams to look at the earlier testing data and make [...]
Aimed at providing a better test coverage, test data management helps deal efficiently with edge cases. Test data management techniques have several possible approaches, depending on the scenario at hand. While there is no one particular approach, a few are mentioned below. 1. Manual Test data generation Manual test data creation [...]
Typically, a vast volume of data and information is used to run projects. For applications under test, a substantial amount of data is required to carry out tests, more so for testing techniques such as Boundary Value Analysis and Equivalence partitioning. Volume (lots of Test Data!) is an additional testing [...]
Why is a holistic approach to data security (covering multiple layers including host, network, and application), required to achieve the goal of hack-resilient Mobile or Web applications and products? Incorporating security features into an application’s design, implementation, and deployment requires spending more time testing Data Security. This helps us [...]
Healthcare applications are well-known for their inherent complexity, heterogeneous structure, variety in data leading to data integration issues and most importantly, the challenge of maintaining a variety of medical plans, enrolments and annual contracts. All of these lead to difficulty in finding adequate test data to support testing for [...]
In a sector like insurance that is marked by its inherent complexity and diversified structure, development of new features and maintenance of the insurance application is a challenge. But a bigger challenge is test data management as the data in such applications tend to be sensitive, interdependent and often [...]
Banking is one of the few sectors that are critical to our everyday life. Testing of banking applications needs to be thorough with due importance given to data privacy and protection. Finding adequate and comprehensive test data is always a challenge and, in banking, it is more challenging due [...]
