Never underestimate the power of localization testing

Never underestimate the power of localization testing

Localization testing today, has become as important as ever in ensuring that applications are available to all; people from every part, every locale of the world. In a recent find, where a Telugu script bug was deduced as the cause for frequent crashes in Apple devices, how adversely do you think it impacts the end users? Well, a lot. From loss of data to wastage of time as well as resources, the impact on users is diresome. This recent bug found in a number of versions, especially in iOS 11 points out to the clear fact of making localization testing an important part of our testing effort. Read more »

An important phase in mobile application testing

An important phase in mobile application testing

Mobile applications are here to stay – whether an end user application on a smart phone, or an application used in a B2B environment, whether the device be a hand held and not the commonly used smart phone, the applications in their various forms and factors will only continue to rise. Mobile computing has rightly become a large horizontal wherein any technology that shapes, or any new domain that brings in a new scenario for consumption, the mobile element is omnipresent.

Sky is the limit with the cloud floating around

Sky is the limit with the cloud floating around

The “cloud” has been looming over us for a long time now and the future seems up and coming with the current trend and technology of cloud computing. While cloud itself is an extensive space, it has opened doors for the next gen technology to be transformed. Google’s Cloud AutoML to say, is establishing a strong base to enable businesses that lack machine learning expertise improve their offerings by building customized AI models. Pointing out to the endless horizons of cloud computing capabilities, it gives tremendous opportunities to the field of software testing in terms of performance, functional, globalization and compatibility testing. And today, with AI in the picture, the avenues have grown tenfold. Leveraging cloud testing capabilities in order to make the “cloud” the place to go, testers need to take conscious steps in encompassing the whole testing framework. Read more »

Let the games begin

Let the games begin

With the Winter Olympics in full force since its opening ceremony on 9th February, the unwarranted issue of a cyber-attack on the main Pyeongchang 2018 website caused a pandemonium amongst users who weren’t able to access any information or even print their tickets for the various events.

Online translator tools are plenty today. As part of efforts to go global, most organizations leverage these translator tools to create a localized version of their software. While this is a fast and not so bad option to leverage, the question is if they are fool proof. On one hand, localization testing services have become more sophisticated to offer niche services such as linguistic testing, while on the other the presence of translator tools is making the process simple and in some cases skip the associated testing effort given the automated solution available.

Don’t let the bugs bite

Don’t let the bugs bite

With Apple’s confirmation on Meltdown and Spectre, the two major CPU security bugs, causing the slowdown in Mac and all iOS devices, one ponders the impact on users, especially considering more than a billion of iPhones that are already in use. With such a number, the issues accorded to the performance of devices amplifies the need of testing and of ensuring that the bugs are thoroughly accounted for, since the probability of more bugs in an already infested system increases ever so.

The changing dynamics in software testing with AI

The changing dynamics in software testing with AI

The industry has come a long way over the years in transforming technology from its very roots. Sophia, the humanoid robot has become the ‘living’ example of the progressive nature of technology who not only uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and facial recognition but is the first to be accorded citizenship by Saudi Arabia. This goes onto show the changing dynamics in technology itself today, thus, amplifying the need for testing. Read more »
