Your automated testing plan is a guide to saving money, releasing on time and producing a high-quality product. It is your best opportunity to get a top-down view of the project that is about to roll out. Before you become submerged in the day-to-day of test cases and iteration flows, you have one last chance to identify how you can deliver against your business goals in the most efficient manner possible. It is the perfect time to call on some expert advice.

Doctors, nurses and other healthcare practitioners are charged with providing healthcare to their patients, and a single error or miscommunication can have devastating consequences for a patient. Healthcare professionals have started to use case management software to help manage their growing amount of patients, but the same risk applies to the software - an error-prone, untested case management application can result in tragedy.

Everyone is looking forward to the new mobile operating system releases of Android Q and iOS 13. Gadget lovers are super excited to own the new devices - this will influence the device adoption trends worldwide. In this newsletter, we have summarized the operating system and device adoption trends in the United States and worldwide.

QASource recently presented the webinar, "How to Get Faster, More Reliable Automated Testing Results Using Continuous Integration" with its partner, froglogic. In this webinar, Vivek Kumar, Automation Architect and Anand Ramakrishnan, QA Director at QASource, illustrate how to incorporate the Squish GUI tester into your application lifecycle using built-in CI integrations, how to pair Squish with the Jenkins Continuous Integration server to run your test suites automatically and how to enhance your automated testing workflow with a CI-based protocol.

Technology has boosted every sphere of life where everyone wants faster applications with relevant information to make their lives easier. A faster system always results in a larger and happier audience which in turn increases the revenue. Development team always prefer to optimize code quality before installing additional hardware for performance improvements. Server logs and GC logs provide a relevant information to optimize the code quality like a list of duplicate call, unwanted call and memory leaks. Traditional approach to review sever logs and GC logs analysis is very time consuming and tedious. Hence, this time we worked on identifying the tools and practices that can help review server logs and analyze GC logs in a better manner to save time. We are hopeful that our findings will not only help in saving the time required to review/analyze the sever logs but also it will provide an efficient way to review server logs. Keep exploring more on performance testing with our quarterly performance testing newsletters.

With social networks, media streaming, mobile shopping and food delivery at our fingertips, it’s easy to see why we are addicted to our smartphones. At the touch of a button on their smartphone, consumers are able to make a purchase from the comfort of their own home, making time for things more important than standing in line at a crowded store. This clearly illustrates the importance of digital technology in our daily lives, so much so that businesses around the globe have taken advantage over the years. Companies began to market on social media channels, quickly increasing brand recognition. The huge spike in adopting digital technologies has increased the importance of delivering high-quality digital products.

Automation is a testing technique that follows predefined rules. Artificial Intelligence is designed to simulate human behavior, intelligence and thinking. Now, what would happen if software engineers blend automation with artificial intelligence? Robotic process automation would come into play. What exactly is robotic process automation (RPA)? Our expert AI and test automation engineers have put together all you need to know about RPA in order to achieve maximum ROI.

DevSecOps is an approach of thinking about application and infrastructure security from the beginning. It is mainly about built-in security, and not just the security that functions as a perimeter around apps and data. If security is only taken care at the end of development pipeline, organizations having DevOps may find themselves back to long development cycles which they were trying to avoid. An effective DevOps security needs more than new tools, it builds on the cultural changes of DevOps to integrate the work of security teams sooner than later.

We are in an open-source revolution, an era where engineers and developers around the globe can collaborate and invest their time and money with the goal of producing a reliable product – a software that would further push the world toward digital innovation. Because of this common end goal, open source tools are gaining popularity in developer communities and more are turning toward adopting open source tools to build their product.
