JavaScript based UI frameworks are in high demand these days, more and more applications are implementing the same for their UI design. AngularJS is one of such JavaScript-based open-source front-end web framework, which is popular for developing single page applications, and is supported by Google. With wide community support, this framework keeps on updating and incorporates the latest trends by the day. Here we will explain how AngularJS helps making responsive webpages and at same time, what challenges QA engineer face while automating the same and how we can overcome these challenges.

There’s no denying that automation and automated testing is winning the day. For teams using the Agile method, automation is the only way that repetitive testing can keep up with the pace of the team. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and less prone to human error, and it’s essential to running a large quantity of tests across a variety of different platforms in little time. All that being said, there’s still a major case to be made for manual testing. Manual testing is really the only tried-and-true way to test for the end user, and it’s still worthwhile for any product company designing and delivering to humans.

Today, the usage of wearable devices are on a rise and shipments of these will increase by 25.8% in 2019. Product companies are rushing to make their apps usable on smartwatches and bands. This needs robust and fast development as well as comprehensive testing techniques that can deliver bug-free applications to the end users. Due to increase the demand of wearable devices in the market, it is a time that QA companies should start thinking about both manual and automation testing of wearable device apps to deliver best quality products.

Software testing is a continuously evolving sphere. Often, testers only have hours to test a software and as a result, QA engineers tend to opt for automation and parallelization. Enter Docker containers. Dockers have revamped the way testing is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline: the multi-container testing approach eliminates time and resource-based bottlenecks.

Summer is here, and so are the announcements by Google and Apple about the new features in forthcoming versions of mobile operating systems.

Here at QASource HQ, we consider ourselves very lucky to work with over 700 incredibly talented engineers as well as some of the best testing tools on the market. Because we work with different clients in different industries on a wide variety of projects, every project setup varies.

Desktop applications are mostly ignored when it comes to load testing; mainly because we assume that the performance of desktop applications relies on the hardware where they are installed. But any application which is based on client-server architecture needs to be load tested even if it is a desktop application. Through this newsletter, we are sharing some useful information that can help in load testing the desktop applications.

QASource recently presented the webinar, "Get The Best Test Automation ROI Through Continuous Testing With SoapUI Pro And TestComplete" with its partner, SmartBear.

Teams exist in every organization. They discuss tasks that need to be completed, who will be given ownership of each task, and then they are off and running. Cross-team collaboration brings members with different areas of expertise, knowledge and experience together, which can improve quality, speed and the company's overall productivity. Cross-team collaboration is a much-needed skill that is, unfortunately, difficult to acquire. So, how can companies build effective cross-functional teams?
