ShiftSync Video 📺: How do you do your Automated Checks?

Not all tests actually test. The fact that you have 1000 tests in your test suite does not mean that if they all green that your application does not have bugs. Confused? Curios? Check the video of @IOan to see more information on the topic and what format you should/can use for your tests to make sure that they actually test.

Handling Captcha In test Automation

Hi Community, I think the topic has been in debate for long. I think captcha cannot be automated and we should ask the dev team to remove it as it is designed to identify it is are used as security checks todeter spammers and hackers from using forms on web pages.But there are certain chrome windgets like buster which can resolve the captcha. kindly let me knowyour thoughts.

Please stop saying "testers ensure quality"

Testers do not ensure or assure quality.To ensure something, you must control it. This is a necessary, but not sufficient condition. So, even if you control it, you may not be able to to ensure it. As a tester, I have absolutely no control over quality, therefore I cannot ensure quality. The people who could ensure quality are managers and developers. Even they can’t ensure it, but for different and more complicated reasons than those that apply to testers.(I also don’t “break the software” because it is already broken when I find it.)So, what do I do as a tester?I seek the truth, and I report the truth, about the status of the product at any given time. I do this so that the team I work for can make informed decisions about quality.If I break anything, it is the veil of illusion. I shatter the dreams of the naive. But not the product. The product is the product, before and after I test it.A good tester has no faith in the product. We have faith in trouble. I mean faith in the full lit
