Test Data Management: From Dysfunction to Function
Obtaining the right data for test cases, at the right time, without straining testing teams, isn’t a difficult process, but it requires a logical, properly structured methodology.
3 Top Performance Testing Failures & How to Avoid Them
Much has been written about the complexity of application performance testing. The breadth and scope required to effectively test application architecture and transaction flow can make it a daunting effort, especially with service-oriented architectures where hundreds or even thousands of third-party services and components are added to the mix.
Modern Application Performance Testing
In order to understand if performance matches needs, testing is a necessity. While there are many areas that help define testing parameters, three overarching testing concepts must be addressed in order to provide appropriate performance for modern applications: your users, your data, and your environment.
Service Virtualization and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Platforms
With modern software relying on myriad interactions with other components, greater complexity in development and testing has become inevitable. Nowhere is this more evident than with enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms, where dozens of modules are interdependent upon one another for data exchange, processing, and other core functions.
Performance testing without a plan?
You have a new code release and two weeks for performance testing. What tests do you run? One common answer is to run the same tests you used on the last release (after fixing your scripts, of course). This is a good way to make sure the new release can handle the same load as the last one. However, this approach ignores a key fact: loads change.
Improving Composite Application Performance with Best Practices for Web Services Testing
Web services—software code that enables the client application and the services to interact successfully—are literally the building blocks of application function. To ensure application performance and minimize user problems in production, each web service should be tested—and its functionality and connectivity trusted—before the developing organization integrates it into the application.

Defining Software Requirements for Better Quality and Faster Delivery
As someone who preaches requirements across the country, I can honestly tell you, “What stakeholders want is not important. What matters is what they need.”
Orasi Announces New Public Training Classes to Promote Software Excellence
Announcing the launch of a new public training series focused on increasing excellence in software development and testing.
Crowdsourced Testing Lets Your Apps ‘Go Wild’
It simply isn’t feasible to test every possible user scenario with a new app, and the testers who already know how the app should perform can’t approach using it the same way as someone unfamiliar with the process. Enter crowdsourced testing, where you gather a customizable pool of people from outside your organization to test your apps for defects and usability.
