      <guid>https://dev.to/hiretester/automation-testing-tools-and-technologies-1bdo</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Tools and technologies we use for automation testing. It's time to explore the technical side of automation testing. In many cases, the team's toolset is the trigger point in the decision-making process regarding further cooperation. Here what we use:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;=&amp;gt; Java, JavaScript and Python for scripts development.&lt;br&gt;
=&amp;gt; Such testing frameworks as JUnit and TestNG for Java, PUnit, and PyDev for Python to develop, group and run auto-tests.&lt;br&gt;
=&amp;gt; JBehave and Cucumber for Behaviour-Driven Development.&lt;br&gt;
=&amp;gt; Allure and Thucydides frameworks for report generation.&lt;br&gt;
=&amp;gt; Jenkins, CircleCI, Travis CI for Continuous Integration.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Automation testing. Reporting</title>
      <dc:creator>Alex K.</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://dev.to/hiretester/automation-testing-reporting-19c1</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;You have a clear picture and understanding of what automation testing is and how the process looks like in general. But what about the reporting?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can share our experience and show how it works in our team. Once the testing is completed, you get the source project, all test cases, and automation scripts with instructions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What for? This is an opportunity for you to run a set of tests locally and update them following the product improvements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But to save your time, we at HireTester offer to provide further support of scripts on our side. Interested? We are just one message away. &lt;a href="https://hire-tester.com/"&gt;https://hire-tester.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://dev.to/hiretester/automation-testing-procedure-lde</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;How does the automation testing procedure look like at HireTester?&lt;br&gt;
First, we analyze specifications and other project documentation, study the application and decide on test tools and technologies to be used during the testing process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then, we review your requirements, perform manual testing, develop test cases and test scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The next stage is test cases and test scenarios agreement with you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After that, we get to the scripts development and tests running with reporting on the received results.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking for automation software testing services or a dedicated AQA specialist? Feel free to reach us out at &lt;a href="mailto:info@hire-tester.com"&gt;info@hire-tester.com&lt;/a&gt; or visit &lt;a href="https://lnkd.in/drpNgEi"&gt;https://lnkd.in/drpNgEi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Automation testing is the process of software verification when the major functions and test steps, such as start, initialization, execution, analysis, and report on results, are performed automatically with the help of test automation tools and with no or little human interaction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This testing technique helps to achieve greater test speed and efficiency. It is especially profitable for the verification of complex products or separate functional blocks of large projects that are frequently updated, have vast functionality, and, as a result, require continuous manual testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The HireTester team provides automation testing services for web applications. And if you’re still considering the necessity of automation testing for your product, get in touch for a competent consultation: &lt;a href="mailto:info@hire-tester.com"&gt;info@hire-tester.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Depending on the product structure and requirements, we advise what type of testing is appropriate for it and whether automation testing is actually needed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://dev.to/hiretester/faqs-on-bug-life-cycle-in-software-testing-3pjb</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;What is a non-reproducible bug?&lt;br&gt;
A non-reproducible bug is a defect triggered by a specific action that cannot be easily traced or reproduced by testers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is bug management?&lt;br&gt;
Bug management is a process of bug identification, investigation from discovery through to resolution and elimination.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is a bug report?&lt;br&gt;
A bug report provides a detailed outline of the detected defects as well as the environment and precise steps leading to their reproduction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What information should be included in a bug report?&lt;br&gt;
The requirements as for what information a bug report should contain may vary depending on the project, customer requirements, or QA team approaches to the testing process. As a rule, a bug report should reveal the following points: summary, overview or description, steps to reproduce, test results, environment setup, configuration, screenshots.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bug life cycle in software testing </title>
      <dc:creator>Alex K.</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 19 May 2021 10:52:15 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/hiretester/bug-life-cycle-in-software-testing-4j3c</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/hiretester/bug-life-cycle-in-software-testing-4j3c</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A bug or defect detected in software goes on a fascinating journey through various stages, corresponding certain bug statuses right until being resolved or closed. What are these stages? Let’s track the route.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New&lt;br&gt;
This status is applied to new, lately discovered, and added to a tracking system bugs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Assigned&lt;br&gt;
These are the bugs that have been already assigned to a certain specialist for checking, fixing, or verification.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open&lt;br&gt;
This status shows that the specialists entrusted with the bug are actively inspecting it. They can also assign another status to the bug: Duplicate, Rejected, Deferred, or Not a Bug.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fixed&lt;br&gt;
As its name implies, the bug gets this status after the fixing is completed and when a QA engineer can continue the verification process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Retest&lt;br&gt;
This status is a signal for a QA engineer to retest the bug, confirm if it has been indeed fixed with no impact on corresponding functionality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reopen&lt;br&gt;
If the bug has been reproduced during retesting, it gets the Reopen status and goes to the developer for re-investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Verified&lt;br&gt;
The status used for bugs the QA engineer could not reproduce during testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Closed&lt;br&gt;
This status shows that all verification procedures are completed, and the bug does not exist anymore.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Levels of functional testing or when to test your software</title>
      <dc:creator>Alex K.</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 22 Apr 2021 14:24:31 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/hiretester/levels-of-functional-testing-or-when-to-test-your-software-483h</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/hiretester/levels-of-functional-testing-or-when-to-test-your-software-483h</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;With the different stages or levels of the software development life-cycle, testing can be performed on unit, integration, system, or acceptance levels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unit testing helps to verify independent system components as for how they cope with the assigned tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conducting integration testing, QA specialists focus on the connections between functional blocks, the degree of their interaction with each other, the connection order, fault tolerance, and the impact they have on the system functioning. The key goal here is to verify the components' interaction and the operation of the functional subsystems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;System testing is run on the system level to check the entire system operation and whether the product fulfills the tasks it was created for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, acceptance testing is done to check software for acceptability, define its compliance with the business requirements, and readiness for the final release stage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
