details

Software quality assurance (SQA) is a set of methodologies and practices used to deliver high-quality software to end users. QA is not about detecting bugs, but rather focuses on quality as a specific mindset, one that leads to the development of quality software. QA requires constant effort, and from this point of view differs substantially from quality control, a one-time action.

Best practices for Python code quality — linters

When developing and maintaining software, code quality is of paramount importance. Being confident that code is readable and therefore easier to maintain and more efficient not only makes it easier for developers to work together, but also significantly reduces the likelihood of errors. One effective way to maintain high quality and at the same time ease of use is to use Python linter tools. These tools are helpful in ensuring Python code is clean, consistent and error-free, resulting in a streamlined development process and a better final product.

From start to finish: how to write a successful testing plan

Every stage of the software development lifecycle is equally important. However, if there is one part of development that has the biggest impact on the customer experience, it is probably testing. Missed bugs that turn up in the production environment make the worst impression on end users. And if you miss critical errors, the application can stop working at the most inopportune time which might cost your users, and your own business, a lot of money. Thorough software testing can prevent all this from happening.

Manual testing vs. automated testing — main differences

The need for rapid development and competitive time to market means companies are looking for time-saving solutions at every stage of development, including testing. This has resulted in the emergence of new tools that automate the testing process and make it more efficient. But will automated testing ever fully replace manual testing? Let’s take a look at both kinds of tests, when to use them, and their main differences. Let’s start with the original method of testing, the manual one. Before any product reaches the market, it needs to be thoroughly checked - whether it’s safe, functional, and easy to use.

The popularity of Python for network test automation and more

Test automation is a rapidly and dynamically evolving element of software development. Automation saves time and resources in large-scale systems by transferring repetitive activities from human hands to a machine. Companies that want to achieve both qualitative and economic benefits are faced with selecting tools that can be used to fulfill those goals. Choosing the proper framework can be challenging, but the importance of the selection of the programming language itself cannot be overlooked. This article will present the advantages of Python for testing automation - one of the most recognizable languages used for automation.

The Best Tools for Functional Testing in Networks

Software testing is an integral part of the software development life cycle (SDLC). Simply put, the primary goal of software testing is to find bugs and fix them as fast as possible, preferable at the early stages of the SDLC, and ensure bug-free software or software products. There are many different types of testing, but for this article's purpose, we will focus on functional testing. By readingthis article, you'll learn about functional testing in terms of network-related projects, what it is and whether it is actually needed.

Top 7 Python testing frameworks for networks

Testing is vital to any software development process, including network programming. It helps reduce project costs and provide high-quality code. While it may not be a developer’s favorite part of their work, building tests into the code from the beginning makes it easier to fix bugs. The Python programming language makes the whole process simple. Due to its versatility and many available frameworks, testing can be almost entirely automated. Python for networking is a great choice - read on to find out the top seven Python testing frameworks.

The best QA automation tools that you should know

Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine the Quality Assurance (QA) process without automation tools - their number on the market is constantly growing, and we are continually discovering new options. However, some QA engineers still prefer the "manual" path. Why? There can be several reasons—the desire to stay in your comfort zone, fear of difficulties with implementing and mastering new tools, or reluctance to test new solutions when the old methods seem to work well. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the implementation of automation allows for better optimization of processes, reduces costs, and saves time for the development of QA engineer skills and qualifications.

QA automation — what is it and why do you need it?

The task of QA is not only verification or validation but also to take a holistic view of a project to find and implement appropriate work and process methodologies. From this article you will learn more about QA automation—what it is, how to implement it, and how it can improve the development process. QA (quality assurance) focuses on fulfilling all the needed software requirements to provide the user/client with the best quality product. Quality assurance is not only about detecting the bugs themselves but it is also about tailoring test types to the software from the very beginning of the project.

Quality Assurance trends for 2022

Today’s world is dominated by the still ongoing digital transformation of nearly every aspect of our lives. Many of us can’t imagine the world without electronic devices (which are continuously forming the IoT world) or online services. The world of IT keeps growing alongside the industries within it. Although nearly all of us are consumers of digital services, not everyone is aware of what’s behind the quality of the end product that we experience. The ‘insiders,’ namely the people working in the IT industry, are usually aware of the term Quality Assurance, yet many only associate it with testing.
