Financial applications operate under intense conditions. They process sensitive data, high-volume transactions, strict regulatory requirements, and time-bound reporting. A single miscalculation or system fault can lead to compliance violations, operational disruption, or costly financial errors.
Few industries move as quickly as online gaming. Product teams release updates at a relentless pace, user expectations shift overnight and regulatory environments can change with little warning. In this climate, gaming platforms have become unlikely pioneers of rapid release engineering.
Quality at speed is the real benchmark of modern software teams. A reliable QA process protects that speed without trading away user trust or stability. Even strong teams develop blind spots over time. Regression cycles stretch, automation coverage stalls, and production fixes start creeping into every sprint.
Most of us never stop to think about the trust systems running beneath every digital interaction we have. Buy something online, send a message, log into your account, there’s always something working in the background making sure it’s all legit. But here’s where things get interesting: what happens when a platform literally can’t figure out who’s doing what?
We test apps as if the network were a clean hallway. In reality, it is a crowded street, full of detours, temporary closures, and shifting traffic rules. Mobile users bounce between radio cells and Wi-Fi hotspots. Edge caches decide what to serve and where to route. Protocols and IP paths change under our feet.
This talk aims to introduce property-based testing, why you may want to use it, and real-life use cases for including it in code bases. Property-based testing is an approach to testing that involves specifying statements that should always be true (for example, reversing a list twice will give the original result) rather than relying on specific examples.
Test management is defined by Wikipedia a part of the software testing process that includes the planning of tests and test cases, their execution and the storage and analysis of the tests results. This is achieved also by the integration with requirements management tools, functional software testing tools like Selenium or Cucumber (with the Gerkhin language), continuous integration tools like Jenkins or TeamCity, bug tracking tools like Bugzilla or Mantis, project management tools like Trello, Redmine or JIRA.
