Apple M1 Transition Testing
Back in February we discussed the changing CPU landscape that was occurring within the industry. We specifically covered the shift towards ARM-based RISC processors such as Qualcomm’s 8CX, which looked to give desktop-class processing performance in ten watt thermal envelopes. And in September we had a high-level overview of “Apple Silicon”. This overview was based […]

Apple Silicon, the basics
Apple has two basic platforms; ARM-based phones, tablets, watches, and whatnot and Intel-based x86-64 based computers. ARM is what is known as RISC (reduced instruction set computing). To use the car-analogy, RISC is a stripped-down no frills simple car without infotainment or even air conditioning; its purpose built to be small, agile, and as economical […]
Web Testing Basics

How to Handle Your Fluctuating Need for QA Resources
Software development cycles vary throughout the year. During peak times, every staff member – and potentially more – is needed to ensure that the product is finished on time, within budget and in working order. During slow times, however, many development and QA resources may be under-utilized, wasting precious budget and potentially making good employees […]

The Basics of Regression Testing
Companies often conduct rigorous software testing to ensure their product or service is ready for release. However, software testing should not stop after launch. Regression testing, or software testing performed after editing the software, is vital to maintaining functionality and optimum user experiences. Understanding the basics of regression testing will help you make sense of […]
Choosing a Compatibility Testing Strategy
In a perfect world, we’d have the time to test every page on every browser and device. But we don’t. That’s why it’s important to approach web testing with a strong compatibility testing strategy. A clear strategy helps testers complete compatibility tests in a way that balances both thoroughness and time.
Three Misconceptions About Software Testing
Software testers often have to deal with myths related to their jobs and have to combat these beliefs to superiors, stakeholders, and sometimes even themselves. While there are many fallacies related to the process, here are the three most common misconceptions about software testing. Misconception #1: You Can Eliminate Manual Testing with Automation While automated […]
