Many of us are using AI to assist when building websites and web applications. AI can generate code very quickly, new features take shape in the blink of an eye. It can all feel a bit like magic. That is, however, until it's time to test it. Read more - buff.ly/lNhkP4k

Testers are still being told to ‘try to break’ an application, as though that’s a key objective of testing. The application is already broken, what we’re doing by testing it is showing you where. #testing #applications

At WebDepend, we don't go in for all that 'Tester vs Developer' rubbish. We collaborate with developers, discuss our findings and be receptive to possible test ideas. # developers

A person whose primary role is testing will almost always find more bugs than someone whose primary role is not testing, such as a designer, developer, engineer, product manager or project manager. Those people will certainly find bugs, just not as many as a tester will find.

Testers don't break software, the broken parts are already there. Testers discover where and how the software breaks and then show their findings so those parts can be fixed. Some bugs are harder to pinpoint than others, we investigate, discuss and pair up with devs to resolve.

When we test something, we're not just testing the code and we're not just looking for developer mistakes - we're testing everything - all the input from everyone involved that shaped the project to this point. #testing #websitetesting #apptesting #qatesting

Bugs are great things to receive. Without them we have a false understanding of our application. Bug reports illuminate dark recesses and show the real state of your app. Received lots of bugs? Divide into prioritised groups and release fixes that make users happy. #bugs

The term 'manual testing' is misleading as there is no such thing as manual testing. There is Testing and within that there are different types of testing but 'manual testing' is not one of them. The closest term is Exploratory Testing. #manualtesting #exploratorytesting

'QA' as an abbreviation of Quality Assurance is a misleading term. A 'QA' person cannot assure software quality. They could 'assess' quality and, in that sense, they are called a Tester - nothing wrong with being a tester. 🙂 #qa #tester #qualityassurance #quality

When a web project runs late and over budget, the instinct is to cut testing. It should be the opposite — test more, reduce scope, prioritise features, and test thoroughly. That's how you avoid launch failures and reputational damage. #testing #softwaretesting #launchfailures
