SoCraTes is the acronym for the International Software Craft and Testing Conference. The SoCraTes Germany conference discusses programming and software testing though the software craftsmanship approach.
The shift towards mobile platforms is a strong trend currently and Android is the most widely adopted mobile OS with an estimated market share above 80% in 2014. You should naturally test all the apps developed for Android and a large number of open source testing tools and test automation frameworks have been developed to achieve this goal.
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence is transforming various industries and software testing is no exception. As AI-driven tools become more sophisticated, questions arise about the future role of Quality Assurance professionals.
French startup Thunder Code announced that it has closed a $9M round of funding to accelerate the rise of fully autonomous, AI-driven software testing with Agentic AI . This funding is led by Silicon Badia, with participation from Janngo.africa, Titan Seed Fund MEDIN Fund Management and top-tier angels investors.
Clear communication is of the utmost importance for successful agile testing. Collaborative visualization tools offer a fresh way to bring Scrum teams together. They can help bridge gaps and align efforts with shared goals.
Agile and DevOps methodologies have become integral to delivering high-quality software products. Central to both approaches is software testing, which ensures that applications meet user expectations and function reliably. As development cycles shorten and the demand for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) increases, testing must evolve to keep pace with these rapid changes.
Ensuring quality and efficiency has become paramount during software development. Shift-left testing emerges as a critical approach, emphasizing the integration of testing activities early in the development lifecycle. Agile organizations can enhance product quality and reduce costs by identifying and taking care of bugs and defects sooner.
