Sharing: A database as report tool (at least for my own)

I want to share how I use a database for storing results of my database comparison which makes them easy filterable.I started with reports in files (and still have them for sharing and long-term storage), each run typically covering multiple subtopics and creating by that multiple files. And that twice for the new and the old database.Going through each file and looking for the same patterns again and again became laborious. Especial because filtering by fatality was demanding (I marked error classes by different colors while going through the files) . Even more when I wanted to see if similar failures happend over multiple subtopics.Now I can filter and sort for anything I want. By regexes!I also show them to others to discuss my findings.If you haven’t done something similar: Feel inspired to do something similar for yourself! Any question?If you have done something similar: How do you do and use it?This reports seldom last longer than some days. When I changed the report tables (esp

If you could only choose one, which testing approach would you eliminate from your workflow?

1️⃣ Automated Testing - Let the machines do the work, but at what cost?2️⃣ Manual Testing - Human touch is invaluable, or is it?3️⃣ CI/CD Pipeline Testing - Seamless integration or overkill?4️⃣ Exploratory Testing - Creative freedom or chaotic mess?5️⃣ Test-Driven Development (TDD) - Code-first or test-first?🎯 Vote and defend your choice in the comments!What would you sacrifice, and why? Let the debate begin!

Passing Parameters In multi-level Libraries (RTBs)

Hi Community,I have RTB libaries in a deeper structure. The RTBs have business parameters.When I pass down business parameters,to deeper levels the parameters arrive as NULL in some test plans.D you know whats amiss here?For example:I have a parameter “Role” and want to pass it on to a sub-RTB like this:Scenario A:I pass the parameter down as {PL[Role]}Issue: The parameter arrives as a NULL value Scenario B:I pass the parameter down as {PL[Role]}. On level 2 (RTB 2) I copy the parameter to a buffer variable and pass on the value as {B[Role]}This works.Regards    Florian

User Access Restrictions to specific defects/Test cycles

 I would like to implement access restrictions for certain test cycles and defects (bugs) within  qTest Manager. The goal is to limit access to specific test cycles and bugs to designated users, ensuring that each team member only has visibility of relevant information pertaining to their responsibilities. Could you please provide guidance on how to configure user permissions to achieve this level of access control effectively?Thank you

Engineering measurement

I work in an organisation where some domains we think are doing OK. They are CD, YBIYRI, product teams delivering to production in some instances multiple times a day.In other domains they have not really even started on that journey. They are projects not products and follow a more siloed, phased, document heavy way of working.We have a mandate to help these other domains on their journey to CD.We do however want to be sure we are safe to scale. We traditionally have only used trailing metrics (e.g. DORA) which tell us how we DID. We have a gut feel that as we scale we may need metrics that are more leading (e.g. measuring engineering signals like code complexity or, dare I say it, code coverage) which tell us how we ARE DOING.We think we are aware of the usual gotchas in measurement and so our measurement principles include things like: don't measure individuals but teams, don't set arbitrary targets, don't use metrics to judge across teams but to help each team have better evidence-

Webinar recap 🎥 - Is Generative AI taking over Testing?Blog

Below is a recap of our webinar with @dave Colwell, the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning VP at Tricentis. You can view the original in the link below, just be sure that you’re logged in 🙂  Is Generative AI taking over testing? David Colwell webinar recapThe 3 main questions Why do we need AI? How can we use AI?  How do we test AI?  1. Why do we need AI? Before we begin, we need to address the idea of the human attention span. Take a moment to consider these facts about attention across various demographics:  A human’s attention span, put simply, is not good. It gets even worse when you start putting multiple screens in front of someone, a common scenario for many of us today. We’ve found that the average person can hold roughly 7 pieces of information in their working memory at a time, give or take. With apps like TikTok and other distraction-heavy apps on the rise, this stat doesn’t seem like it’s going to improve any time soon. So how does this relate to AI? Consider w

What do you think the future of testing looks like in light of AI?

Having recently concluded our webinar with David Colwell (link below) I thought it would be good to get opinions from the community about the role of testing in an industry that is rapidly incorporating AI. What do you guys think things are going to look like moving forward? We’re in the early stages of AI integration, but I’m sure everyone expects huge changes over the next few years, and definitely decades. My biggest question is are there any major changes you think will take place that the average person isn’t thinking about? Do you have any hot takes on AI and the way it’s impacting testing and software development? The closest thing I have to a hot take is that I think the AI explosion may end up being more of a sigmoid curve than continual exponential growth:  We’ve seen huge development throughout 2023 with generative AI, but I think it’s possible we see a sort of cooling period instead of the insane jump we saw this year. What do you think? Don’t forget to check out the webina

Do testers need to know how to code?

The general public often conflates various skill sets and abilities found in the tech industry. Many seem to think that in order to be a tester (or to fit in anywhere in the tech sector) you need to know how to code. I myself have found that regardless of what role you’re in, basic knowledge of code and some of its fundamental principles help serve just about any position in a tech environment. It may not be necessary to write or execute in every role, but having some degree of familiarity with how things work under the hood is often helpful in the day-to-day encounters in the field. What do you think? How much coding knowledge does your role require? And are there areas in tech where you don’t think it’s necessary?

As testers, should we or shouldn't we talk about AI tools like chatGPT?

The talk of the town, ChatGPT, can provide some benefits for testing activities, but its effectiveness in speeding up the testing process or generating test cases will depend on the specific use case and the quality of the input data provided to it. While people do not want to miss the train, but they have to very clear where and how they should use AI. In my opinion, ChatGPT can help in testing in following ways: Test data generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate synthetic test data based on specific scenarios or requirements. For instance, it can generate test data that simulates specific user interactions or system responses to validate the functionality of a software application. Test case generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate test cases based on specific requirements or test scenarios. However, the effectiveness of this approach will depend on the quality of the input data provided to the model and the level of detail required for the test cases. Test script automatio

What are some of the best resources you've found for testing?

I’ve been wondering lately how much crossover there is in the technologies that testers use. Is the software you use specific to your company, or is it more broad/general use? What have you seen in the industry or in your experience?
