on Apr 29, 2025Learning from Embedded Software Development for the Space Shuttle and the Orion MPCV
Software development is much different today than it was at the beginning of the Space Shuttle era because of the tools that we have. But the art and practice of software engineering has not progressed that much since the early days of software development. Compilers are much better and faster, and debuggers are now integrated into development tools, making the task of error detection easier.
on Apr 17, 2025Using Artificial Intelligence in Software Testing
Quality Assurance Engineers can evolve into artificial intelligence (AI) strategists, guiding AI-driven test execution while focusing on strategic decisions. Rather than replacing testing roles, AI can enhance them by predicting defects, automating test maintenance, and refining risk-based testing. Human-AI collaboration is crucial for maintaining quality in increasingly complex software systems.
on Apr 10, 2025Applying DevOps Principles and Practices as a Quality Assurance Engineer
DevOps streamlines software development with automation and collaboration between development and IT teams for efficient delivery. According to Nedko Hristov, testers' curiosity, adaptability, and willingness to learn make them suited for DevOps. Failures can be approached with a constructive mindset; they provide growth opportunities, leading to improved skills and practices.
on Mar 20, 2025Using Artificial Intelligence for Analysis of Automated Testing Results
Analysis of automated testing results is a very important and challenging part of testing activities. At any given moment we should be able to tell the state of our product according to the results of automated tests, Maroš Kutschy said at QA Challenge Accepted. He presented how artificial intelligence helps them save time spent on analysis, reduce human errors, and focus on new failures.
on Mar 06, 2025Meta Introduces LLM-Powered Tool for Software Testing
Meta has unveiled the Automated Compliance Hardening (ACH) tool, a mutation-guided, LLM-based test generation system. Designed to enhance software reliability and security, ACH generates faults in source code and subsequently creates tests to detect and address these issues.
on Feb 19, 2025How to Use Property-Based Testing as Fuzzy Unit Testing
According to Eivind Jahren, property-based testing is an invaluable tool for its ease of use and effectiveness. It is flexible in what requirements one can formulate and is simple and lightweight enough to put in the hands of software developers to perform iterative testing on a daily basis, less test code is required, and it’s easier to reuse test data generators for complex structured data.
on Dec 19, 2024Exploring AI's Role in Automating Software Testing
QA professionals are increasingly turning to AI to address the growing complexities of software testing. AI-driven automation can improve test coverage, reduce test cycle times, and enhance the accuracy of results, leading to faster software releases with higher quality.
on Dec 12, 2024How Slack Used an AI-Powered Hybrid Approach to Migrate from Enzyme to React Testing Library
Enzyme’s lack of support for React 18 made their existing unit tests unusable and jeopardized the foundational confidence they provided, Sergii Gorbachov said at QCon San Francisco. He showed how Slack migrated all Enzyme tests to React Testing Library (RTL) to ensure the continuity of their test coverage.
