  In software testing, apart from the work experience and technical knowledge, there are certain aspects and skillsets that a software tester must possess. Unlike a few years before, it is not the same now. Software testers with only technical knowledge of testing won’t survive in the race of testing opportunities. Year 2021 and the future demands more qualities and skillsets in the field of software testing as the digital space is becoming more challenging. In this article, we discuss some of those skills. From the ability to be a logical and analytical thinker to being rational we have covered most of it. Let’s have a look! Logical and analytical thinking A sense of creativity and an inquisitive mind A global as well as local approach The right application of knowledge Skills related to project management Documentation and communication Social networking skills A better understanding of coding Evidence gathering Being Rational 1. Logical and Analytical Thinking For obvious reason...

  Scalability Testing   Scalability Testing is a non-functional test methodology in which an application’s performance is measured in terms of its ability to scale up or scale down the number of user requests or other such performance measure attributes. Scalability testing can be performed at a hardware, software or database level.     Advantages of Scalability Testing : Let’s discuss why a company may be better off conducting scalability tests after all. Firstly, for trying to add users to a system while oblivious of its capabilities under varying loads can prove a perilous endeavour. Upon systems failure, stakeholder confidence can wane, along with any hope of rising again. Secondly, you save a lot of money by setting reasonable growth rates that ideally pay for themselves. Lastly, even when selling a company or facing foreclosure, reducing resources while cutting costs can be a controlled event. And this potentially saves the reputations of everyone ...

    Security testing is performed to figure out the security flaws and vulnerabilities in software. The rise in online transactions and advancing technology makes security testing an inevitable part of the softwaredevelopment process. This is the best way to determine potential threats in the software when performed regularly. Following are the most vulnerable threats that can be detected early with the help of software testing:   Cross-site scripting:  XSS attacks inject client-side malicious scripts into a website and use the website as a distribution method. such vulnerabilities require the user to initiate some type of interaction through social engineering or visiting a specific page.   Sensitive data exposure: Confidential data disclosure is one of the mostcommon vulnerabilities . It consists of compromising data that should have been protected.   Injection: It leads to data loss, corruption, or exposure to unauthorized parties, loss of accou...

  Landing a software testing job without experience seems like a hard nut to crack. Nevertheless, most people fail to realize that they already have some testing experience using daily apps. Yes, I’m sure you’ve encountered some errors in the products you use. That’s the basics of testing, finding errors on products, and reporting them. In this blog post, I’ll share 5 tips for landing your software testing job .  Let’s get to it   1.    Be Passionate About Testing : Know the basic idea of Software Testing & Quality Assurance and develop an interest in it. You will be able to survive in your Software Testing job only when you have a real interest and passion for it. Else, you will start finding testing as a burden and finally end up losing your performance and efficiency. 2.    Choose Your Niche : A specialist is always preferred over a generalist by most companies . Some of the most popular testing niches you can choose from are: ...

Software testing   is a procedure performed by a software tester to execute either a computer program or application with an aim to find and fix  software  bugs . Software testing can also be understood as the process that validates and verifies either of the software program, application or product. Being softwaretesting one of the most crucial things, it is very imperative that every software tester should possess specific technical skills and in some, they need to excel. What are those skills? A tester with a good understanding of requirements analysis, design and coding have great insight into the defect life cycle. They can easily understand which area of code has maximum defects and how it could be resolved by helping developers. There are some good technical skills of a tester that help in preventing the defects from getting introduced in the delivered code. Here we have mentioned 5 skills that every software tester must have.   1 Analytical and lo...

  Software testing can be stated as the process of verifying and validating that software or application is bug-free, meets the technical requirements as guided by its design and development, and meets the user requirements effectively and efficiently with handling all the exceptional and boundary cases.  The process of software testing aims not only at finding faults in the existing software but also at finding measures to improve the software in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and usability. It mainly aims at measuring the specification, functionality, and performance of a software program or application. With software product launches taking most of your resources and energy, are you left with no time to test and validate your software before its crucial release? If lack of resources, infrastructure or time is forcing you to bypass one of the essential phases of the software development life cycle, outsourcing software testing services to a specialized service provider like ...

                             Game Testing and its Importance Mobile game testing differs from regular mobile app testing. Effective mobile game testing derives from a well-structured and systematic approach, the use of a test automation framework and seamless integration with your agile process. Naturally, the simplistic view of testing is to identify bugs and help developers to remove them. However, to aim for efficient, result-driven testing it is mandatory to have  test automation as a part of the overall development process. How to test Games Game testing borrows a lot of concepts from conventional software testing , but with a few customisations. Compared to conventional software there is a bigger focus on the intangible ‘fun’ aspect. There are also different player demographics and educational aspects to take into account. Following Testing, practices are relevant to game testing  1. Instal...
