A friend told me today that his teammates believe that AI is a solved problem and there is no risk to using AI to build their apps and indeed using AI in the app itself. And most people I know see many potential perils and pitfalls in GenAI/LLM tools and assistants. And, the teams I have been working with the last few years are not using any AI tools at all. I believe AI is here to stay and we all need to learn how to make it an effective part of our toolbox. But I’m concerned that there’s a perception out there that this is a done deal, we can safely use AI tools. What are other people seeing, thinking?

Agility and quickness are now essential in the rapidly changing field of software development; they are no longer optional. Today's businesses need frequent upgrades, quick releases, and a zero-tolerance policy for errors or performance problems. To meet these high expectations, Agile development teams have adopted a variety of tools and strategies to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality. Among the most impact of these strategies is Shift-Left Testing, a practice that is fundamentally changing the way software is tested and released.This post explores the concept of shift-left testing, why it matters in Agile environments, and how teams can implement it to achieve faster releases, better collaboration, and higher quality products.What is Shift-Left Testing?Traditionally, software testing is performed toward the end of the development lifecycle after the code has been written, integrated, and even deployed to staging. This practice often delays bug discovery and makes defect

This is a simple question where I am sure everyone will answer differently and will be amazed of the answers.So what is your answer to this? 

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..

I had this question asked to me a couple of times and my answers have changed a lot in the past 10 years. How you would answer this? What test would you do? For inspiration have a look at  Write in the comments as much as possible so that we have it for the future.

We see a lot of news about issues that make it into production.What about the ones we find BEFORE they wreak havoc in the wild? Which bugs are you proudest of finding during testing? Put another way, which bug is your favorite to tell others about finding?What kind of software? How did you find it? Scripted test? Exploratory? Why is the bug your favorite one to talk about?

 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

JIRA lags, JIRA lies,JIRA makes me want to cry.Click a button—wait and pray,Maybe it will load today.Sprint is stuck, workflow’s dead,Tickets haunt me in my head.Epics, subtasks—what a joke,Burn it all and watch the smoke.But don’t despair, there is a way,To make this pain just go away.I’ve got videos—watch and see,A better world, where JIRA’s free! 🎥🔥Tired of JIRA?

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!
