SaaS platforms have been on the rise for some time now. From professional endeavors to leisure activities, more of our experiences are shifting towards a virtual delivery. And because immediate access from any location makes the shortlist for any software system, consumers often choose SaaS applications over on premise software systems.

An exponential growth in testing has led to new technologies to build better coordination between Dev and QA. Similarly, Service Virtualization has been continuously acquiring its space in the software development life cycle.

Expectations from your development cycle never slow down. Your team must deliver deployments faster and produce stronger product quality in order to remain competitive in the market and maintain relevance with consumers. But how can your team succeed when your resources are consistently constrained? The good news is that your QA team can do more with less. When your team invests in software testing automation tools, you can expect to boost effectiveness, efficiency and test coverage within your testing process.

In order to expand a product at a sustained pace, you need strong development and QA foundations that set you up for future success. Like any project, planning goes a long way when you want to make the most of test automation.

Before you test a cybersecurity product, you must understand its integration capabilities, the environment it supports, and the best testing methodologies. QASource engineers have put together a 9-step checklist that will prepare you to test a product in the security domain.

Language translation within a product impacts more than the words on the screen. When not tested thoroughly, localization can alter the compatibility with regional operating systems, interrupt a product’s functionality and scramble the layout of the entire user interface.

QA performance metrics are essential for eliminating inefficient strategies and improving internal processes. They also enable managers to track the progress of their QA team over time and make data driven decisions about future projects.

Both Agile and DevOps teams feel the pressure to quickly release products to market without sacrificing product quality. Fortunately, cloud based test automation tools enable IT teams to tackle these challenges successfully. In fact, many companies have streamlined QA processes, improved product security, accelerated information sharing and reduced cost - all with cloud based load testing tools.
