I.m doing Manual Testing since more than a year and now I wanna advance my career in QA field so please suggest me best way to advance my career. what should I do for Automation testing, load testing etc..

 How we ensure that test cases returned by the chatgpt are accurate or not Test cases priority criteria must be on some grounds QA Team Focus is on efficiency currently No 1 criteria: How our QA process must be designed as catch all process.. output drive process Human dependency is at an extreme level still in our process. E.g how chatgpt returns correct solutions or all test cases. Create an ideal state of QA process. Current vs New User requirements document must be followed by test cases. 90% QA must be done at developer level Rameel must be part of every automation process QA Team must be doing edge cases, stress testing and cover the rest of the 10% process. UI/UX is ignored in this process The post launch plan is not up to the mark. We are working reactionary instead of taking pre reaction measures We need to step back to our dev process. Because the dev process will directly leads to automation testing and reducing bugs. Try to automate all the steps of QA at max Every new laun

I have a quick question and I'm curious to see how people respond. Ever since this video, more and more projects require accessibility testing. I'm curious—what tools or procedures do you use for that?I have a few on my list, and each day I come across more and more—like this one, for example. But I’d prefer to hear opinions or get a few ideas directly from people. Google or Perplexity are full of articles that just copy each other, and tools that are either super expensive or just weird.Thanks!

As software evolves so should our identified risks and tests, to keep them up-to-date, valuable, and relevant.Do you regularly review your risks and use this information to update your existing tests?How do you do this for your project? or organization?

Before SoW,  if client requested Employer to provide some measures like Test Estimations or Strategies with in TestOps, what would be the best and quick way to provide the information on Test Estimations and strategic testing techniques to the client?

In software testing, a non-reproducible bug represents a complex challenge where: A reported issue cannot be consistently recreatedThe bug appears sporadicallyTraditional testing methods fail to capture the exact scenarioAny suggestions must appreciated 🙂

Hi Team,I'm unable to log in to my Tricentis Academy account. Could someone assist me with this?Thanks!

"Security testing isn’t just about preventing hacks.It’s about earning trust."(Ever heard of a more important KPI?)Here’s the truth:Most companies only think about security after a breach.By then, it’s too late.Here’s a better approach:1️⃣ Think like an attacker.If you can spot vulnerabilities before they do, you’re already ahead.2️⃣ Make it a habit, not a project.Security testing isn’t a “one and done.” It’s a mindset.3️⃣ Involve your entire team.Your developers, testers, and even marketing teams can play a role in strengthening your defenses.A breach costs more than just money.It costs reputation, customer trust, and sometimes even careers.Here’s my challenge to you:What’s one thing your team can do this week to improve security?Drop your ideas in the comments. Let’s inspire some action.

It sparked various questions about the process behind what to do with critical production bugs. I’m curious to know: What steps do you take when you discover a critical bug in production?Who owns what and who does what?Who is kept in the loop?What announcements are made?What official documentation supports the process?What’s your experience contributing to disaster recovery processes and documents?What did you learn from the critical bug in production? What did you do differently for the next one? (if indeed there was “a next one”)

I use a lot of different sources which I plan to share, but I’d like to know where you learn about tools. Sharing sources with new learners is going to open their options for what tools to play with, which can only be a good thing. So reply with where you find tools and why you use that source.

AI is here and that is a clear fact.We are bombarded daily with content that is either fully or in parts generated by AI.But how good are we are spotting the “fake” content? I did a post a while ago asking how to spot text and was kind of impressed by the responses.Now… can you spot the image?  Give it a try
