Software Testing Tools: Unit Testing Tools, Functional Testing Tools, Load Testing Tools, Performance Testing Tools, Agile Testing Tools, DevOps
Bugs, issue, defect, there are many names to define the problems you have with software, either during the development phase or when the application is already in production. Bug tracking tools are an integrated part of a software quality and software testing strategy and there are many open source tools available.
Database testing is one of the areas that might have the smaller number of open source tools. The programming languages have many xUnit tools and mocking frameworks, but this is not the case for databases. This article provides a list of open source tools that can be used to perform unit, load and security testing on several relational (MySQL, Oracle, SQLServer, etc.) and NoSQL databases.
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 current trend in software testing might be to talk about test automation or artificial intelligence, but in some cases nothing replace the intelligence of a human tester to detect bugs and consequences of irrational user behavior. This article present a list of exploratory testing extensions available for the dominant Chrome browser.
There are often discussions in the software testing domain if software testers should learn a programming language, but operating system knowledge is rarely mentioned. In this article, Svetlana Ganina explains how mastering Linux command line could help in daily software quality assurance activities.
It is difficult to maintain and evolve software systems and applications without some automated testing tools that help you to make sure the changes are not breaking the existing features. This white paper from Indium Software presents you the best regression testing tools available in 2019.
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is an Agile approach that mixes requirement gathering, documentation and acceptance testing. The idea is that you start by writing human-readable sentences that describe a feature of your application and how it should work. Then you implement this behavior in software. This description can produce automated tests that will verify that the feature is implemented correctly. On the testing side, BDD tools provide you the features to perform functional or acceptance tests. There are many tools that implement the BDD concept for different languages, including PHP.
