There are a certain number of software testing stages for traditional and agile methodologies. As the software testing proceeds, bottlenecks can be encountered by testers, thereby requiring different tactics and strategies. As a result, there is an increase in cross-team collaborations, requirements and operations change and there are many iterations that need to be plugged into the company’s overall software testing strategy. In this article, you will get to know the software testing stages that are required for traditional and agile methodology.   Following are the software testing stages of the traditional testing methodology: 1. Unit: This is the first testing stage of the traditional testing methodology. Here, assessment is undertaken for a system’s or application’s separate modules to know whether they can individually function correctly and to the maximum capacity. Based on the situation and program of the build, the units may significantly vary from one another. The te...

Incorporating User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in an agile environment is a viable strategy because the end-user needs about the product can be analyzed clearly. This in turn helps in saving potential effort, cost and time that may be spent on addressing the problems after the product has been launched. The team must plan to perform UAT in agile rewardingly. In this article, you will get to know the best ways to conduct UAT in agile mode. What is User Acceptance Testing (UAT)? It is a testing method where end-users are involved to test the software product or application in a real-time environment and provide their valuable feedback. Based on the feedback provided, the team will take the necessary steps to further improve the quality of the product, if need be required. Following are the six simple steps required to conduct UAT in agile : 1. The business requirements need to be analyzed: The functional and business requirements of the software need to be clearly understood. For example, t...

The market for mobile application development is growing at a steady pace and thus there is a need for new and advanced tools and frameworks that can help in carrying out the testing process faster and easier. iOS application development frameworks are also a significant part of the mobile application   development process and hence there are specific iOS test automation tools that can scale up the performance and functionality of iOS applications. In this article, you will get to know some of the best test automation tools used for testing iOS applications. The following are the best test automation tools to choose from for testing iOS applications: 1. XC Test/XCUITest: XC Test tests the backend stuff while XCUI test tests the User interface and the way the app renders for the end user. It truly benefits Apple’s ecosystem. XCTest and XCUITest act as a base for various other testing tools, preferably Appium which relies on their platform. If XCTest is being used, then the tes...
