How Exploratory Testing Can Improve Software Quality

In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring top-notch quality is a must. One approach that has gained significant traction over the years is Exploratory Testing. Unlike scripted testing, exploratory testing focuses on real-time discovery, creativity, and problem-solving. In this article, we will understand exploratory testing, its benefits, techniques, and how tools like Keploy can support this process. Let’s get started!

Bug-Free Black Friday: Make your Site Crash-Proof with QA Testing for Seamless User Experience!

With major events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and New Year right upon us, it brings a plethora of opportunities for e-commerce businesses to significantly increase their sales.

Fix Bugs Without Breaking the System

How do you handle a critical bug in production without causing more issues? @Titus Fortner suggests using feature-based test tagging to prioritize what matters most. Instead of running every test in your suite, focus only on the areas impacted by the fix to prevent regressions and speed up the process. This method helps teams roll out fixes faster, reduce risk, and avoid unnecessary delays by targeting the most relevant tests for each change.

No-Code, No Problem: AI-Powered Automation for Manual Testers

“Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.” – Steve Jobs In the world of software testing, this quote couldn’t be more relevant. If you’re a manual tester, you know the pressure to deliver high-quality results, often within tight deadlines and limited resources. Yet, with today’s fast-paced software development cycles, meeting these demands through manual testing alone is increasingly challenging.
