UI Automation is always challenging. Some of the reasons include

• Validation of different components and their behaviours
• Validation of structures with dynamic data
• Validation of dynamically changing content
• Validating async operations

And because of the complexity involved in automating the interactions with the components and the data associated with them, the tests are not stable, meaning that they don't fail or pass consistently. With UI Automation, unstable tests are a huge pain, because a lot of manual intervention would be required to check if it's an actual failure and identify why it failed now and not during the previous run, based on this a fix to make the test stable needs to be identified.

During the month of September, we have introduced many new features to help Quality Engineering teams build their automation scripts at a faster rate and also help them collaborate with their teams in a better way.

In software testing, besides testing new features before shipping to customers, it's also important to test the existing features in the application. Predominantly, different features across the software use shared resources. Modifying any of these shared resources for the new features, might cause compatibility issues with existing features. In other words, it causes regressions in the existing features or existing parts of the software. Hence regression testing is the process of testing the existing application or software for any defects that might have occurred due to the new changes being introduced. Regression testing can be performed across functional and non functional use cases.

A test management tool helps test engineers manage test cases throughout the development and testing cycle. This blog outlines some of the top test management tools available today.

API or Application programming interface is a set of rules that enables software programs or modules to communicate with each other. API testing is a type of software testing involving the testing of such rules. These rules serve as integration points between different modules within an application and also with 3rd party applications. In order to ensure the application functions seamlessly it is important to test the functionality, reliability, performance and security of the APIs.

Software testing is an extremely important process that cannot be skipped for the deployment of fintech products. Since the major use cases revolve around financial transactions and computations, it is essential to ensure that the fintech product or any banking solution or banking application functions seamlessly. In this blog, the focus is around how DevAssure's Automation solution can help improve the quality of fintech and banking products.

Software testing is a vital and necessary component of the software development lifecycle. It is essential to verify that the software meets the specified quality standards and performs as expected. There are two main approaches to software testing. They are:

1. Black box testing
2. White box testing

DevTesting is a software development approach that integrates the development and testing phases, bridging the gap between these traditionally separate functions. In conventional software development, the separation of development and testing can cause delays between writing code and testing it. DevTest, however, fosters a collaborative environment where these phases are intertwined, promoting continuous feedback and improvement.

This blog talks about test driven development as well as its importance. Moreover, it also elaborates test driven development with examples.

Choosing the best testing tool is very important as it plays a vital role in shipping products. In a nutshell, adopting best testing tools can help organizations to reduce bugs.
