Testing involves exploration, questioning, experimenting, and even comparing similar products.When was the last time you compared your application to a similar product? Solve the challenge by @Prashant Hegde, showcase your skills and win a gift box.Keep your friends close but your competitors closer.Testers usually overlook competitor analysis because they feel it falls outside their scope of work.Investigating competing products is an effective way to generate testing ideas. Working on the same product for a long time may make you lose sight of some risks/problems since you have become too familiar with it. When you evaluate multiple competitors, you will discover valuable insights. Competitor analysis allows you to put yourself in your customer’s shoes and understand the market from their perspective. Furthermore, helps you to advocate for building missing features, capabilities, or experiences in your app that your target audience finds useful/ appealing.So here is the challenge: Le
