Today more and more companies and corporations use staff outsourcing and even the whole companies working remotely and offering their customers a certain package deal of personal services and solutions. Let's analyze such relations through employing a remote number of testers (QA specialists) for a task, who should absolutely successfully and qualitatively test our product and deliver all of us a finished report that everything works, everything is OK, so a customer will be completely satisfied. But we don't know will we be satisfied since such a type of relations (remote) could possibly be the reason for numerous dangers and prevention which is often a level of an impact of one more release or the whole build of software in development. Just what exactly should we generally understand and how does indeed QA outsourcing work, what are its advantages and how to cope with risks will not your company really desire a selection of remote control testers? We will ex...

In 2018 we witnessed that a proactive approach to web preparation and planning paid off for the companies that invested in it, and in 2019, we anticipate the need for advanced planning is only going to further accelerate, " said M. Hogg, CEO of Web Solutions at Aon. "Leaders must work to better insulate their companies and the procedures, while simultaneously identifying the ways they can advantage from the opportunities offered through technology and digital transformation.  Hogg continuing: "Our 2019 report also shows that organizations must recognize the need to share threat intelligence across not only their own network but with others as well. While it may seem to be counter-intuitive when thinking about cybersecurity , cooperation within and across corporations and industries can keep the private information of companies and individuals alike safer. Functioning together can cause improved efforts to hunt bad actors, while also raising the bar and making all ...

Mobile technology and Smartphone devices are the two popular terms that are often used in this busy world. Almost 90 % of the world’s population has a smartphone in their hand. The purpose is not only meant for “calling” the other party but there are various other features in the smartphone like camera, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-FI and also performing several transactions using different mobile applications. #1) Zed Attack Proxy Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is designed in a simple to use manner. Earlier it was used only for web applications to find the vulnerabilities but currently, it is widely utilized by all the testers for mobile application security testing. Crucial Features: World's most popular open source security testing tool. ZAP is actively managed by hundreds of international volunteers. It is extremely easy to install. ZAP is available in 20 different different languages. It is an international community-based tool which provides support and includes energ...

Many DevOps initiatives start with the adoption of continuous integration (CI) practices, where code is constantly built-in to make certain everything works together. Developers start the CI process by checking code into a shared repository often times a day. Each and every check-in is verified by an automated build process and some fast-running tests, allowing teams to find errors and conflicts as soon as possible. Regression tests are run at least each evening to ensure any changes made during the day did not crack something else. After CI is performed, a continuous delivery process is adopted, where the application is further tested and, once it passes all the required tests, it's available to release into production. The upside of continuous deployment is it provides new functionality to users within minutes, as well as instant feedback to the team that allows rapid respond to customer needs. Effective testing during your continuous deployment process is critical because ...

Hackers are continuously attacking websites and yet one day, even though your website isn't enduring huge targeted traffic rates, a hacker could come calling in your doorway to test your security levels. How does one prevent them from gaining access and possibly taking control of your website? Passwords Your internet site admin must have a potent password - never ‘password' or other words that are apparent. A moderate power password will have a mixture of numbers and letters, ideally with lower and upper case letters. Can it be stronger by like other characters, such as for example @ -? Etc. Whatever that you can include that means that your password isn't really a straightforward two or word can really enhance. You can also find best website security testing services via various online resources. Preferably, additionally sign up on a username that is not evident - perhaps not 'admin', ''administrator' and so on. This way the hacker ne...

It seems like every week the press has yet another story about security breaches or stolen data at some of the world's largest companies or government agencies. Sometimes the responsibility for ensuring thorough security resides with an IT security group, and other times it gets outsourced altogether. The responsibility seldom falls to testing teams. However, this is changing. Having trained and experienced testers hunt for security bugs will make web applications safer from hackers and will further protect consumers, corporate assets, and brands. Security testing techniques are not well known to many traditional functional testing teams because there are relatively few opportunities to learn them compared to learning functional testing. And, security testing is more difficult to perform than functional testing for reasons including vague security requirements for many applications; low-level, technically challenging testing approaches; and security testing tools that are dif...

Cognitive Bias in Software Testing: Have You been Influenced? The testing world is moving at a very quicker pace with technological advancements in order to ensure “quality at the speed of light”. “Continuous Integration, Digital transformation, life-cycle automation, shifting quality to the left to minimize costs” etc are some of the magical words that are swinging around. While we speak about these, the underlying question –“Why and how the defect was missed” still continues to be heard and remains unanswered as well.  Cognitive Bias – A Brief Description As per Wikipedia – “A  cognitive bias  is a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment. Individuals create their own “subjective social reality” from their perception of the input. An individual’s construction of social reality, not the objective input, may dictate their behavior in the social world. Thus, cognitive biases may sometimes lead to perceptual distortion, ...
