Is Artificial Intelligence Changing The Future Of Testing Industry?
Current Testing Landscape:
Manual and automated testing– these two primary testing warriors work in tandem to uncover software faults and defects. AI promises to handle repetitive, monotonous tasks, freeing up time for more essential work. AI software ...

Can Data Analytics Find Its Application In Software Test Automation?
The Ever-Evolving Testing Market
Currently, around the globe, the organizational processes have been evolving with the adoption of newer technologies and the addition of extended support with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has indeed ...
Agile techniques can significantly improve IT value delivery by transforming IT-business partnerships. However, value can only be provided when the broader IT management teams create a culture that promotes agile success. For efficient operations, every organisation, large, medium, and small, requires IT assistance and the seamless integration of new functions. The larger the enterprise, the greater the challenges and issues at hand. One of the most difficult challenges is balancing People-Process-Technology. Agile implementation in large organizations is more difficult than in small organizations.
In recent blog posts about test generation for mutation testing, I have detailed that mutants introduce small changes into the original model each mimicking a potential software bug. These changes are seeded on a set of mutation operators that are rules applied to the system to create mutants. These are simple syntactic or semantic transformation ...
Recently I wrote a blog post about mutation testing. That post was a high level overview of what mutation testing is and how mutation analysis can be applied in automatic test generation. This time I was thinking of writing a more hands-on blog post about how to interpret and understand test cases generated by Conformiq’s recently introduced ...
Mutation testing is a software testing method which involves modifying the system code in small changes, yielding a faulty system, a mutant of the original one. These changes mimic typical errors that a programmer could have made. The goal is to find weaknesses in a test suite and to develop more effective one.
Mutation analysis is typically ...
If you have evaluated, used, or are using any model-based testing approach, please take a few minutes to respond to the 2019 Model-based Testing User Survey.
This year, the 2019 MBT User Survey is a joint initiative of the French and German Testing Boards. It is already the fourth edition of this survey. Our purpose is to collect data and ...
OK I admit that this is a bit farfetched. I don’t ever recall a test manager whose biggest concern would have been how to efficiently solve and test Sudokus. I was simply in a mood of having some fun and what would be better than working with a Sudoku problem. I bet that you have firsthand experience on solving those and just like me, you have ...
Over the years I have been wondering why folks involved in testing are not more eager to adopt practices that we have shown numerous times to be superior to current practices. Let’s face it, making sure that all the interesting scenarios and corner cases have properly, effectively, and efficiently been tested is not an easy task. In fact, the ...
In my career I have been asked this question a lot of times. How will your approach (to test design) help us to work in a more AGILE way?
More big and small companies are moving from Waterfall to AGILE. Why are they doing that? Simply to do things faster and adapt to a business where complexity is increasing every day because it’s now becoming ...
The automotive industry is constantly facing the significant challenge of releasing cars with no software defects. It goes without saying that a software fault in the braking system, in the traction control system or in the assisted steering system can be catastrophic, while problems in non safety critical components may “only” annoy the user, yet ...
Recently I wrote a blog post about the action language adopted and standardized by the OMG (Object Management Group) called Action Language for fUML or Alf where I alluded about something that I call “model driven workflow” (MDW) — a modeling workflow that embraces modeling across the whole software development lifecycle integrating design, ...
