      <description>&lt;p&gt;Performing AST (Application Security Testing) is a common and effective way to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an application and make it resistant to security threats. Traditionally, AST has been performed at the end of the software/application development process, more like an afterthought.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The reason why many software development firms use this technique is to develop a product quickly and push it to the market as soon as possible. While it can be beneficial for a business to stand out from the competition, it’s not the best approach, especially when it comes to security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s where the DevSecOps strategy comes into place. Here, we’ll discuss what DevSecOps is, along with its benefits and challenges.&lt;br&gt;
What Does DevSecOps Mean?&lt;br&gt;
Definition from Google: DevSecOps is a development strategy that’s based on security integration throughout the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle). The goal of this strategy is to apply, automate, and monitor security in all software development stages, including planning, development, testing, deployment, delivery, and monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DevSecOps (Development, Security, and Operations) is more about a software development culture and shared accountability/responsibility. It aims to help organizations develop solutions quickly and find and resolve software flaws, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities during the development process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Benefits Of DevSecOps&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using DevSecOps brings a vast array of benefits to the table, including the following.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Improved Security Posture&lt;br&gt;
The biggest benefit of DevSecOps is that it allows development teams to work in a fully secure environment. From securing pre-production stages and production environments to testing and software delivery, DevSecOps covers everything.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This strategy treats security as an integral part of software development rather than an afterthought or cloak. It starts by following basic security techniques such as integrating enterprise firewalls, adding and monitoring server logs, securing production workloads, and mandating VPN usage by employees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quick Delivery&lt;br&gt;
When security is working as an integral part of the CI/CD pipeline, it accelerates the entire process. It allows developers to find bugs and flaws in the system and resolve them timely. This way, the development team can focus on delivering features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Potential Cost Saving&lt;br&gt;
As the security issues are detected and resolved on the go, it speeds up the development and software delivery process. It means that the DevOps teams will need fewer working hours to complete the project, which can help organizations to save costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus, the lower likelihood of a security issue can also reduce the number of people in operation teams to thoroughly execute a secure software development life cycle process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Secure Communication&lt;br&gt;
One of the most important benefits of DevSecOps is that it breaks down silos between development teams. It allows the operational and development teams to join forces and share expertise, skills, and insights to improve each other’s processes and practices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DevSecOps specialists can communicate with different teams and upskill them regarding security considerations. They use cloud-native technologies, such as encryption and reliable VPN services to ensure security while communicating with other teams.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Benefits of DevSecOps&lt;br&gt;
It helps them clarify and remove different hiccups, such as finding the best-suited person/team to fix a certain problem or how all team members can efficiently meet security targets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automation Compatibility with Development&lt;br&gt;
The specific organizational and project goals have a big impact on security automation. Using automated testing helps software development firms verify that all the incorporated software dependencies are patched properly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automated testing helps them ensure that security unit testing succeeds. Additionally, it can also use both dynamic and static analysis to secure code before it gets released to production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DevSecOps automation testing&lt;br&gt;
Ease of Scalability&lt;br&gt;
Once the DevSecOps processes and tools are developed and tested, organizations don’t need to replicate them manually. It comes in handy when entire frameworks need to be placed in other locations or more computing resources are required.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DevSecOps ensure that security is implemented throughout the board as the environment adapts to new requirements. With the help of DevSecOps automation, it becomes easy to scale these security&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;processes and systems downward/upward with just a few clicks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Increased Likelihood of Business Success&lt;br&gt;
The increased confidence of an organization in the security of a software solution enables expanded business offerings and increased revenue growth. It also encourages businesses to embrace new technologies without worrying too much about security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Challenges in DevSecOps&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While DevSecOps comes with many benefits, there are some challenges as well that you must keep in mind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Challenges in DevSecOps&lt;br&gt;
Collaboration and Communication&lt;br&gt;
The security culture of teams in an organization is the biggest hurdle in implementing DevSecOps. The development and operation teams are constantly under pressure to keep up speed. But they usually have limited knowledge about the best practices of risk mitigation and security, which can slow them down.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whereas, the security teams focus on securing data, infrastructure, code, and apps. As a result, it becomes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;difficult for development, security, and operation teams to work together and deliver goals timely.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Environmental Complexities&lt;br&gt;
Most organizations rely on different public cloud services. Using the security protocols, these providers offer, leads to limited visibility, fragmented reporting, and inconsistent security controls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, development and operation environments usually combine different platforms, open-source components, and coding languages together. Credentials and tokens are openly shared within these environments among microservices and apps.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It makes up a complex environment, and security teams need to utilize granular controls to address these complexities while ensuring that they don’t affect performance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Selection of the Right Security Solution&lt;br&gt;
The more integrated and automated DevSecOps solutions are with the CI/CD pipeline, the less culture shift and training an organization will need to undertake.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, it’s not easy to find the right set of DevSecOps security tools because each organization can have a unique development environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, stats show that 70 to 90 per cent of any modern software solution consists of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). However traditional security tools aren’t built to find security flaws and weaknesses in open-source software.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Measuring and Tracking DevOps Performance with Metrics and KPIs</title>
      <dc:creator>Testhouse</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 25 Sep 2024 06:30:12 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/measuring-and-tracking-devops-performance-with-metrics-and-kpis-3946</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/measuring-and-tracking-devops-performance-with-metrics-and-kpis-3946</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;With digital technologies transforming industries, companies adopt Agile and other practices to gain a competitive advantage. DevOps is one such method that has changed software development as we know it. The new-age approach helps accelerate productivity and also enables better collaboration between the development and operation teams.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, the biggest benefit of adopting DevOps is faster time-to-market. It has helped around 83% of organizations unlock business value and deliver customer value faster. However, the brutal reality is that not all DevOps initiatives are successful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even the most advanced organizations face challenges when it comes to implementing, measuring, and tracking DevOps initiatives. Thankfully, DevOps metrics have helped resolve this problem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are some key metrics to understand what prevents your teams from adopting the DevOps culture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Top 6 DevOps Metrics You Should Know to Maximize the Impact of Your Initiatives&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As companies aim to release software updates frequently, the entire development process needs to be streamlined to eradicate risks and vulnerabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DevOps metrics are KPIs and productivity indicators that help organizations understand where they are going wrong. By leveraging these metrics, organizations can improve their software development and delivery process, strengthen security measures, and ultimately, deliver high-quality products faster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s review the top DevOps metrics you should consider to accelerate your development process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lead Time :&lt;br&gt;
This metric undertakes the time it takes to implement a change from deployment to production. It helps teams to track the efficiency of their processes.&lt;br&gt;
The longer the lead time, the more time and resources it requires to deliver changes to production, resulting in higher costs, longer wait times, and decreased customer satisfaction.&lt;br&gt;
On the other hand, a shorter lead time allows teams to release new features and updates more frequently, leading to faster feedback and more responsive development cycles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deployment Frequency :&lt;br&gt;
It is critical to measure how often a team can release new features and out of them how many were successfully perceived. The metric analyzes the number of times a new product version from deployed to production.&lt;br&gt;
Frequent deployments mean changes are being tested and released, making it easier to fix issues quickly. This can lead to higher-quality software and fewer defects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) :&lt;br&gt;
MTTR is the average time the development team takes to restore a system or service to normalcy after a failure. It helps understand the team’s ability to respond to issues and how long it takes to restore services.&lt;br&gt;
It calculates the total downtime caused by an incident and divides it by the number of incidents occurring during a given period. For example, if an application experiences three incidents during a month and the total downtime for those incidents is six hours, the MTTR would be two hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Change Failure Rate :&lt;br&gt;
It is the percentage of deployments that fail. You can calculate it by dividing the number of changes that fail by the total number of changes deployed during a given period. The metric helps in enhancing the system’s reliability and stability. This leads to increased confidence in the team’s ability to deploy changes with minimal disruption for better business outcomes. Measuring and tracking DevOps performance with MTTR&lt;br&gt;
Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) : At the heart of the development process is customer satisfaction. It helps the development team understand how satisfied customers are with a product or service and measure the overall success of a DevOps approach. Calculating CSAT involves gathering data from surveys, feedback forums, and questionnaires and analyzing customer experiences associated with the product or service. CSAT is often regarded as a benchmark against industry standards and competitors and helps teams make informed decisions around product development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF):&lt;br&gt;
MTBF is the average time between system or service failures. This metric estimates the probability of a failure occurring during a specific period and helps to determine maintenance schedules and reliability requirements. A higher MTBF indicates a more reliable product or system, while a lower MTBF indicates reliability issues.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What Can Be Done To Improve Workflows?&lt;br&gt;
Based on the insights from the above metrics, companies can take action to address the workflow. This may involve implementing new tools and processes or streamlining the development and delivery process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What Can Be Done to Improve DevOps Performance Workflows&lt;br&gt;
Many companies are using Machine learning and low-code automation tools to cut down the time taken for delivery.&lt;br&gt;
On the other hand, companies are also using rigorous testing and quality assurance processes to ensure that defects and vulnerabilities do not slip in. While the improvement scenarios may differ for each company, leaders should encourage teams to utilize DevOps metrics and analytics dashboards for informed decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s Time To Move Toward Agility &lt;br&gt;
At its core, DevOps is all about creating an environment where development, operations, and quality assurance teams share responsibility and accountability. And that’s why it is overwhelming to implement, as it requires a complete culture shift. In addition, DevOps also involves complex technical processes, such as continuous integration and delivery, automated testing, and infrastructure as code, requiring specialized skills and knowledge.&lt;br&gt;
The absolute metrics can help you collect the data, get a sense of the dip in performance from the early stages, and create a solid foundation to mitigate it. Obviously ‘DevOps’ is complex and requires digging deeper. But knowing which metrics to track is a great way to kickstart your DevOps journey.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A Shift Towards Agility and Automation in Software Testing</title>
      <dc:creator>Testhouse</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 31 Jul 2024 07:07:24 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/a-shift-towards-agility-and-automation-in-software-testing-1l33</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/a-shift-towards-agility-and-automation-in-software-testing-1l33</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;As someone closely following the evolution of &lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;software testing&lt;/a&gt;, this year saw the shifts in methodologies and processes. One of the most significant findings is the strong adoption of Agile and DevOps methodologies, reshaping how testing is integrated into the software development lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Rise of Agile and DevOps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Agile methodologies have become the cornerstone of modern software development, with the use of Agile or Agile-like practices such as Scrum, Kanban and XP. This widespread adoption reflects the industry’s move towards more flexible, iterative and collaborative approaches to software development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DevOps, too, is making significant inroads emphasizing the importance of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). This integration is crucial for maintaining quality and speed in software delivery, ensuring that testing is not an isolated phase but a continuous process throughout development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Increased Involvement in CI/CD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
One of the most encouraging trends I’ve noticed is the increased involvement of testers in CI/CD processes. It allows testers to influence the automation and integration processes, ensuring that quality is built into every stage of development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, there is still room for improvement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite the growing adoption of automation, it has not yet fully replaced manual testing. Only 2-3% of organizations report that automation has completely taken over manual efforts. This indicates that while automation is valuable, it is not a silver bullet and must be complemented by manual testing to ensure comprehensive coverage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Need for Reskilling&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not many are confident in writing automation scripts. This gap underscores the urgent need for reskilling and upskilling within the testing community. As automation continues to grow, testers must equip themselves with the necessary skills to remain competitive and valuable in the industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improving Test Case Quality&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Test case quality is another critical area that requires attention. Many organizations struggle with well-written and maintained test cases. Many face issues such as duplication and poor maintenance, which can undermine the effectiveness of testing efforts. Addressing these challenges requires a focus on better test management practices, regular reviews and updates to ensure test cases remain relevant and effective.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year, we found a significant shift in methodologies and processes within the software testing landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The strong adoption of Agile and DevOps practices, increased involvement in CI/CD processes and the growing importance of automation are reshaping how testing is conducted. However, there are still challenges to overcome, particularly in reskilling testers and improving test case quality. By addressing these issues, the testing community can continue to evolve and meet the demands of modern software development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As we move forward, it’s crucial for testers to stay adaptable, continuously learn and embrace new methodologies and tools. This will not only enhance your skills and careers but also contribute significantly to the quality and reliability of the software products we help to develop.&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/ai-in-software-testing-transforming-the-way-we-deliver-quality-software-14ep</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The software testing landscape, while crucial for ensuring application quality, has grappled with limitations in traditional methods for decades. This article explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a game-changer, addressing these challenges and augmenting the capabilities of testers. By combining advanced machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and other techniques, AI offers a powerful toolkit to propel software testing into a new era.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Bottlenecks of Traditional Testing&lt;br&gt;
The passage lays out several shortcomings of current testing practices that hinder efficiency and effectiveness:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stagnant Quality Improvement: Quality assurance hasn’t witnessed significant advancements in recent years. Testers struggle to provide timely feedback and extract valuable insights from the vast amount of data generated during testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Coverage Gaps: Measuring the effectiveness of a test suite (test coverage) is a challenge. Additionally, developer testing coverage often falls short due to time constraints, potentially leaving critical areas untested.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Test Selection Uncertainty: Determining the most relevant tests to execute for a specific software build can be a time-consuming and subjective process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These limitations can lead to delayed feedback loops, reduced software quality, and increased rework cycles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI: A Powerful Ally&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI offers a compelling solution to these problems. By combining advanced machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and other techniques, AI can address these challenges and empower testers:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Extracting Insights from Data: AI, through techniques like natural language processing (NLP), can analyse vast amounts of test data to identify patterns and trends. This allows testers to gain valuable insights into potential defects, user behaviour, and overall software quality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Predictive Analytics: AI algorithms can learn from historical data to predict potential issues before they occur. This proactive approach enables testers to prioritize test cases and focus on areas with the highest risk of defects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automated Feedback Mechanisms: AI-powered tools can automatically generate reports and dashboards that provide real-time insights into software quality. This timely feedback allows developers to address issues early in the development cycle, leading to faster defect resolution and improved software quality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automatic Test Case Generation: AI can analyse code structure and functionality to automatically generate comprehensive test cases. This eliminates the need for manual test case creation, leading to improved test coverage and reduced testing time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Data-driven Test Prioritization: AI can analyse the impact of various code changes and prioritize test cases based on risk. This ensures that critical functionalities are tested thoroughly, while less critical areas can be covered with a lighter touch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By addressing these bottlenecks, AI paves the way for a more efficient and effective testing process. This translates to faster release cycles, improved software quality and a reduction in overall development costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI Use Cases for Test Automation&lt;br&gt;
AI can be applied in various aspects of test automation, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Intelligent Test Design and Automation: AI tools can generate intelligent test cases from code or API documentation, reducing the manual effort required for test design. This optimizes testing by creating a focused test suite that targets critical areas without compromising overall coverage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Faster Feedback for Developers: AI-powered autonomous bots can navigate applications, identify workflows, and validate functionality across various screens. These bots can perform basic sanity or smoke testing on mobile applications across different platforms, providing rapid feedback to developers. This allows developers to identify and fix issues early in the development cycle, reducing the time and cost of remediation later.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Data-Driven Test Execution Guidance: AI with analytics capabilities can analyse development changes and recommend the most appropriate tests to execute based on those modifications. This helps testers prioritize their efforts and avoid wasting time running irrelevant tests on unchanged areas of the code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Self-Healing Test Automation: Maintaining automated test scripts can be a burden due to frequent application changes. UI updates can break previously functional tests, requiring manual intervention to fix them. AI-powered self-healing tools can automatically identify and fix script issues arising from UI changes, minimizing maintenance effort and ensuring test suite integrity. This frees up testers to focus on more strategic tasks.&lt;br&gt;
These are just a few examples, and as AI continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative solutions to emerge in the realm of test automation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI: Partner, Not Replacement&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A common concern regarding AI is the potential to replace human testers. The passage reassures us that AI, in its current state, is not a threat. Instead, it serves as a powerful tool to augment testers’ capabilities and address the challenges they face daily. Here’s how AI can empower testers:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Increased Productivity: AI-powered test design tools can significantly speed up test case creation, allowing testers to focus on more complex tasks that require human expertise, such as exploratory testing and test strategy development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Improved Decision Making: AI can analyse vast amounts of data and suggest the most appropriate tests to execute based on development changes, streamlining the testing process and reducing the risk of overlooking critical areas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reduced Review Costs: AI-powered solutions can analyse user stories and identify potential issues early in the development lifecycle, lowering rework costs associated with fixing defects identified later in the testing process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enhanced User Experience: AI can leverage video analytics and emotion detection to identify user pain points during usability testing. This allows testers to gather more nuanced feedback about user experience and make data-driven decisions to improve the overall user experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Faster Testing: AI-powered technologies like bots can accelerate testing execution by running tests in parallel across multiple environments. This enables faster feedback and delivery cycles, getting high-quality software into the hands of users sooner.&lt;br&gt;
By leveraging AI, testers can become more productive, make better decisions, and deliver higher quality.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How Software Performance Testing Can Help Your Business Succeed this Holiday Season</title>
      <dc:creator>Testhouse</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2022 12:53:38 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/how-software-performance-testing-can-help-your-business-succeed-this-holiday-season-4c6c</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/how-software-performance-testing-can-help-your-business-succeed-this-holiday-season-4c6c</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Holiday time is quickly approaching. If you own a digital business, you should prepare for the yearly spikes in activity and demand from your clients. While ten years ago that might’ve meant hiring temporary staff to help manage the holiday rush, most of today’s shopping and customer service happens online. According to the National Retail Federation of the United States, holiday sales in 2021 increased by 14.1% to a record $886.7 billion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the digital retail landscape, providing customers with an outstanding user experience (UX) when interacting with your brand or accessing your services online is essential to your success. But with the increases in online activities affecting the performance of your technology systems during the holiday season, the UX becomes far more challenging to maintain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the digital retail landscape, providing customers with an outstanding user experience (UX) when interacting with your brand or accessing your services online is essential to your success. But with the increases in online activities affecting the performance of your technology systems during the holiday season, the UX becomes far more challenging to maintain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, your brand’s digital presence now consists of multiple channels that must all continue to provide an equally good, consistent UX. As a result,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;maintaining the required level of performance, especially under heavy strain from high traffic volumes is a significant challenge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even small businesses today are required to simultaneously support a website, mobile application, customer service channels, e-commerce solutions, point-of-sale, inventory, shipping systems, business intelligence platforms and more. Without doing so, you’re accepting the potential of losing many online customers and seeing your sales drop significantly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore, to succeed – or even survive – this holiday season, you should implement an omnichannel performance testing strategy to ensure your systems can manage the load and continue to deliver the user experience necessary for your customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To minimize the possibility of slow service or system failure during peak traffic, you must also take a proactive approach to quality engineering. Begin measuring and improving your systems’ readiness for challenges before it’s too late.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Use Past Data to Predict Requirements
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Start by analyzing data and gathering insights from previous holiday seasons. Then, use this to identify trends and predict scenarios that you’ll likely be facing this year. This will allow you to see patterns in online customer behaviour, expectations, and purchasing habits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, you may find that your systems have faced the highest traffic at a specific time of day, or a particular day of the week, during the last few holiday seasons. These previous data will enable you to prepare your system for the busiest periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You’ll also find channels that are most likely used for a specific activity. For instance, your mobile app may find customers using discount codes or vouchers, while your website could be popular among customers who want the items they purchase shipped abroad.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Look for as many trends as possible and feed these to the team responsible for supporting your software. By understanding patterns in advance, performance testing can be used to prepare your systems for upcoming workloads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ensure Your Digital Apps Will Perform
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When it comes to ensuring your digital applications will perform as required under the strain of holiday season traffic there are a few key factors that you will need to consider in advance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, measure the performance capabilities of your critical system components, such as the server, database, and middleware. This will give you a comprehensive view of where bottlenecks may occur and will show you where you need to optimize to improve your site’s performance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, it’s vital to measure web page load times and user-facing metrics. Such data will give insights into the user experience your customers will have when accessing your site and would highlight areas that need improvement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some more in-depth questions to ask yourself ahead of this holiday season would be:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Home Page: How quick should products, that your customers are willing to buy, be displayed on the app?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Search Functionality: Do your consumers get relevant search results in a reasonable amount of time? If not, your customer may become frustrated and abandon your website in favour of one of your competitors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Managing User Sessions: Remember that the holiday season won’t just bring more visitors, it will also put your log-in system and database under tremendous strain. Make sure to test scenarios such as a high volume of users trying to log in simultaneously.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shopping Carts: Make sure to test software that facilitates customers’ interactions with their online shopping carts can continue to perform at the required levels even when there could be a drastic increase in the number of users.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Payment Processes: Can customers make payments concurrently through your third-party payment gateways? Run tests to ensure your payment system can connect to third-party payment approval processes even when your network is severely stressed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Order Fulfilment: Is order information exchanged with the warehouse on time for items to be packed and delivered to customers? Confirm whether your warehouse management system can handle the increase in the order flow.&lt;br&gt;
Background Jobs: Are background jobs for reconciliation, settlements and other purposes slowing down your apps due to high data processing volumes? Include background job scenarios as part of your workload model.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Special Offers: Special offers are much more common during the holiday season. Be sure to conduct thorough tests on functionalities of your website and reinforce your systems can handle increased loads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Business Value of Performance Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/managed-testing-services/performance-testing/"&gt;Performance testing&lt;/a&gt; is not just about finding problems and resolving them before they could negatively impact your customer service. Regular and efficient practising of performance testing can in fact deliver valuable opportunities and benefits to your business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to reducing risk and minimizing unplanned outages, performance testing can help you to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maximize uptime and speed, resulting in excellent customer experience, faster sales processing and increased revenue&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Optimize channels’ performance to improve customer retention, customer loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals&lt;br&gt;
How to Further Reduce Your Risk &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Performance testing can be difficult for an average business, especially with many channels to worry about and the complexity of tying them all together. However, with something as important as application performance, it’s often wise to work with a trusted, experienced partner who can provide you with specialist guidance and expertise.&lt;br&gt;

      <title>YOUR GUIDE TO SOFTWARE TESTING AUTOMATION IN 2022 AND BEYOND</title>
      <dc:creator>Testhouse</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2022 12:30:31 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/your-guide-to-software-testing-automation-in-2022-and-beyond-4ki0</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/your-guide-to-software-testing-automation-in-2022-and-beyond-4ki0</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;With new technology solutions and digital tools emerging all the time, the state of software testing is constantly changing. As the technology matures, the capabilities of testing automation evolve, presenting opportunities to increase the quality and efficiency of your software testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keeping up with the pace of change is difficult for most organisations. To help you ensure your testing strategy is aligned with the latest technology and trends, we’ve provided a detailed guide to software testing automation in 2022 and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Overcoming Your Testing Challenges
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Test Stability and Failure Analysis
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In such an ever-changing technology landscape, test stability is difficult to maintain. This is a key challenge which many testers are still struggling to manage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While there are plenty of reasons why your tests might fail, the main reasons are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Problems with the environment&lt;br&gt;
Problems with the test&lt;br&gt;
Problems with the test data&lt;br&gt;
Actual defects.&lt;br&gt;
testhouse automation testing challenges&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To improve test stability –&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ensure requirements are thoroughly understood via practice like static testing&lt;br&gt;
Ensure parameters are configurable so they are easily maintained&lt;br&gt;
Adopt test data management practices – refresh, archive and sanitize&lt;br&gt;
Shift testing left and identifying defects earlier to prevent major failures later&lt;br&gt;
Ensure test environments are maintained, refreshed and secured&lt;br&gt;
Of course, when test stability is an issue and you’re regularly having test fail, the analysis of that failure is also a time-consuming process which causes teams to lose productivity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While very few failures will end up being due to actual defects, those are still the most important failures to analyse in your testing reports.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To mitigate this challenge, make sure you have coordinated reporting methods to save you spending more time than necessary looking into the reasons why your tests failed. You can also use automated tools to provide detailed insights and streamline your evaluation and resolving processes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Software Testing Trends in 2022
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Test Automation is Overtaking Manual Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The long-running trend of shifting from manual to automated testing continues in 2022, with many now&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ramping up their efforts by adopting innovative new tools. The key outcome of utilising automation is essentially that it allows you to complete more testing in less time. Of course, this is a huge driver of increased productivity and allows you to save or reduce costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While manual testing won’t be disappearing anytime soon, applying automated processes in the right areas will help boost efficiency, improve test coverage and get software products released far quicker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Shift-Left Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are seeing many organisations shift their testing further left to non-functional testing, most notably with API, performance and accessibility testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shift-left testing is crucial for effective &lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/managed-testing-services/functional-testing/"&gt;functional testing&lt;/a&gt;, but it also allows you to reduce some of the more time-consuming aspects of testing, thanks to a few advantages:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It supports the principles of agile and DevOps&lt;br&gt;
Its delivers cost savings to find defects earlier&lt;br&gt;
It’s easier to maintain code and quality&lt;br&gt;
It covers more functional and non-functional areas earlier.&lt;br&gt;
Currently, too many organisations are making the common mistake of neglecting performance, accessibility, or security testing until the end of each of their sprints. Even worse, some testers only address these things when something has already gone wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shift-left testing provides a way to incorporate diverse tests into the sprints themselves, giving you a far more successful testing cycle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Continuous Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/devops/continuous-testing/"&gt;Continuous testing&lt;/a&gt; is another trend that’s building momentum in the current software testing space, with automation driving the adoption of this practice. testhouse continuous testing trends&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Continuous testing is typically done by either:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An internal quality assurance (QA) team supporting several agile teams&lt;br&gt;
Dedicated QA resources within a feature team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These types of testers can help maintain and accelerate their organisation’s release cadence, whether that’s weekly or monthly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, working to a weekly or monthly release cadence without automation tools supporting your testing processes will leave you with a high risk of defects being released into production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Continuous testing can help get feedback sooner and increase the overall pace of innovation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Behaviour-Driven Development
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Behaviour-driven development (BDD) is another popular approach many testers have begun to take due to the benefits it offers. BDD offers a business-focused perspective and it’s also been known to stimulate better collaboration across teams and departments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As more automation tools are introduced into release cycles, the organisations leading the way seem to be leveraging BDD solutions to help them improve their testing output.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you embed BDD within your continuous testing processes, you’ll likely see faster and more digestible feedback passing between your testing team and your other stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Make Sure Mobile Testing is a Priority
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With more software products being developed as mobile-first than ever before, mobile testing should remain a high priority.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The importance of &lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/managed-testing-services/mobility-assurance/"&gt;mobile testing&lt;/a&gt; will only continue to grow as technologies such as 5G make it into mainstream use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s crucial to keep nurturing the skills, tools and best practices that support the successful production of mobile-first products&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Our Tips to Help You Embrace the Future of Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unsurprisingly, more and more software testers are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automate and optimise their testing in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If it’s not already a part of your strategy, introducing AI and ML into your testing processes should be a top priority this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not only will this be necessary to keep up with the rapid pace of the current testing landscape, but this technology can also help you:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Increase the efficiency of your processes&lt;br&gt;
Make more intelligent decisions&lt;br&gt;
Enhance your products and services&lt;br&gt;
Reduce errors and improve accuracy&lt;br&gt;
Save valuable time and lower costs.&lt;br&gt;
From test design and creation to test reporting, AI and ML will have a transformational impact on your software testing overall.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Automate and Optimise Your Test Failure Analysis
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As mentioned earlier, a proven way to improve the efficiency of your testing is to address the notoriously time-consuming process of test failure analysis. Analysis of test failures has become a daunting responsibility due to the high volumes of data involved today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reducing the amount of time spent on test failure analysis, by introducing automated tools and processes will significantly accelerate the speed of your output.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI and ML technology can also play a useful role here, allowing you to optimise your analysis and driving continual reductions in the time spent in this area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Expanded Your Test Coverage
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Broadening the coverage of your tests is also something we’d recommend working towards throughout 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To help keep your test coverage up to date, we’d suggest taking the following steps:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Use calendars to keep up&lt;br&gt;
Follow relevant events taking place&lt;br&gt;
Conduct web traffic analysis&lt;br&gt;
Match coverage to historical defects&lt;br&gt;
Keep your test automation suite maintained&lt;br&gt;
Don’t repeat failing tests without de-bugging&lt;br&gt;
Regularly validate and modify your test automation suites.&lt;br&gt;
You can also spread your test execution out throughout the pipeline, based on things like target features and platforms, regression needs, software iteration scope, phases in the CI/CD pipeline, personas, skill-sets, tools, and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Final Thoughts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Investments in &lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/managed-testing-services/test-automation/"&gt;software testing automation&lt;/a&gt; will continue to rise in 2022 and beyond. As software products and applications become complex, automation will become even more important for testers in the coming years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To keep up with the pace of the industry, adopting automation is critical. The opportunities and benefits available when manual testing processes are removed are becoming harder, and more costly, to ignore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Similarly, you’ll also benefit from shifting your testing left, to place more emphasis on key areas like performance, accessibility, and security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These trends are at the top of the priority list for organisations that are currently leading the way in the global software quality engineering/assurance landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouse/why-your-digital-transformation-strategy-must-include-continuous-testing-2c96</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Traditional approaches to enterprise IT – typically reliant on time-consuming, manual processes – have been overtaken in recent years by more agile, efficient, outcome-orientated models.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And with that shift putting an emphasis on faster cycles of development for software products, DevOps and Agile methodologies are now essential for any business looking to succeed with a meaningful digital transformation initiative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, you’re likely familiar with the practice of continuous delivery within DevOps and Agile, and the faster time-to-market this creates for your applications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But many businesses are too focused on this speed and are consequently overlooking the importance of quality assurance, to their own detriment. Even for businesses who don’t make that mistake, maintaining the necessary levels of quality alongside the speed of continuous delivery is still proving a significant challenge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The solution to this challenge is continuous testing. In fact, evolving your software testing processes to be streamlined and integrated with your continuous delivery pipeline is crucial to your digital transformation initiative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this article, we’ll explore what continuous testing really is, how it can help your business, and how you should approach it from a strategic point of view.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Continuous Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--pqQYCcCj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/xt3bufch2ifp22d8xlhs.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--pqQYCcCj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/xt3bufch2ifp22d8xlhs.jpg" alt="Image description" width="550" height="338"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/devops/continuous-testing/"&gt;Continuous testing&lt;/a&gt; is a way of ensuring that product quality is deeply ingrained in every part of the development process – which should be a priority for every business these days – and keeps testing aligned to continuous delivery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without the right quality assurance measures in place, the risk of a product or application failing is far greater, meaning the consequences for the business are more severe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Continuous testing will take care of that, while significantly reducing the time in which developers receive feedback on what they’ve delivered. This is achieved by leveraging tests activated in certain environments alongside development, in addition to the traditional tests carried out manually at various stages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here, tests are carried out as a built-in part of the software delivery pipeline to provide instant feedback on the potential risks associated with the product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In practice, what this means is removing legacy processes from within your software development and testing cycles, and introducing new technologies and tools designed for more agile workflows to achieve greater quality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is not quite as disruptive as it may first sound. Testing and delivery would still be based on a sequential process but would instead be conducted with a test environment as a service where you execute tests based on specific requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, for example, you wouldn’t have to wait until your functional testing was complete to then move on to performance testing, thus accelerating the time to delivery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Your Business Needs to Make This Change
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your business is practising – or even looking to practice – some kind of continuous delivery approach, while maintaining the highest possible levels of quality, continuous testing will be necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Embracing this method will allow your teams to maintain quality assurance thoroughly, with each test taking place as soon as possible in the lifecycle of the application. This causes no delay to the project timeline and means developers are always aware of any potential issues before they’re allowed to become problems, vastly reducing the risk of bugs going live into production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That involves using tools that leverage advantages such as automation, so that testing is done early, often, and as deeply and widely as possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you begin to evaluate quality at every step of the development process, you will immediately recognise the positive results, not just for the productivity and efficiency of your team, but from a business point of view as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is especially relevant to large enterprises with large user bases. If testing and QA are not effectively embedded into the process of development and the pipeline of continuous delivery, the risk can become substantial, because the failure of an application once it’s been deployed can have a catastrophic impact on your business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Benefits of Continuous Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--a8W4Cp85--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/7z2ryv2gu8vr5aj1lp7v.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--a8W4Cp85--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/7z2ryv2gu8vr5aj1lp7v.jpg" alt="Image description" width="550" height="550"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
When you are able to successfully execute a strategy for introducing continuous testing into your development, you’ll see positive changes begin to occur quickly. The advantages gained will move you closer to achieving your digital transformation goals, for example:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bugs, errors, and new risks become apparent as soon as they arise&lt;br&gt;
More frequent releases of new updates and products&lt;br&gt;
 Lower costs due to less manual resources and less repeated efforts&lt;br&gt;
Accelerated speed of development and streamlined processes&lt;br&gt;
Tools with greater ease-of-use and adaptability for the team&lt;br&gt;
Greater quality of products through more in-depth metrics and feedback&lt;br&gt;
Significant reduction of business risk&lt;br&gt;
The ability to respond to new or changing business requirements quickly&lt;br&gt;
Keeping up with the pace of competitors&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Introduce Continuous Testing
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The businesses leading the way with digital transformation are the ones who have embraced automation to help their software delivery become more effective and efficient.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automating processes within testing allows the code to be quality-checked immediately when submitted, with far greater depth and coverage, at greater speeds, and with greater accuracy than any manual test can achieve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And with technologies such as AI and ML also coming into play, your teams will be afforded even more innovative capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Prioritise Your People and Your Culture
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--JE7UDVly--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/w9bdzjbyt9zbyrsald6r.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--JE7UDVly--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/w9bdzjbyt9zbyrsald6r.jpg" alt="Image description" width="550" height="366"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Like any new technology implementation, you should begin by gaining approval and advocacy from stakeholders in senior leadership positions, including an ambassador who will help drive and encourage this change with you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just as importantly, though, you must ensure the teams who will be affected will feel comfortable adopting these new ways of working.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automation can be a scary word for an employee, as it often raises concerns over the removal of manual jobs, whereas really the focus is on streamlining those jobs to free up time for more creative tasks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Be transparent with your people from the very beginning and make sure to demonstrate the value these new processes will have for them, show them the benefits this will bring to their personal roles, and so on. This will help change the mindset of your team and help facilitate smooth adoption.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then start by looking into what capabilities your teams need by analysing the current status quo and researching the best tools for those requirements. Remember to focus on giving your people what tools they need to do their jobs better, and what kind of user experience they want from those tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You will also need to choose technologies that can easily integrate with existing systems and processes and are compatible with your continuous delivery pipeline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s wise to detail an incremental strategy that will introduce the new testing tools and processes in gradual steps, with frequent review and optimisation wherever possible. Seek the help of certain teams to be the early adopters and allow them to provide feedback on their experience to ensure the transformation is having the desired effects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Final Ingredient
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The days of conducting time-consuming, repetitive processes for software testing are long gone. Those who resist or react to this trend slowly – or have not begun to act already – will soon find themselves unable to stay relevant when compared to the rest of the market.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As technology continues to provide better tools and more efficient ways of working than ever before, your business can take far more control over the quality of software products, as long as your testing strategy is made a priority.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, the changes suggested above can be challenging. &lt;a href="https://www.testhouse.net/service-offerings/digital-assurance/"&gt;Successful digital transformatio&lt;/a&gt;n requires a complex selection of moving parts to work together in harmony.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Why Software Cybersecurity and Quality Assurance Go Together</title>
      <dc:creator>Testhouse</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 07 Apr 2022 10:32:49 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://forem.com/testhouseltd/why-software-cybersecurity-and-quality-assurance-go-together-23oe</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Digital data is the new gold, and hackers will stop at nothing to get yours. In a study by cybersecurity experts at Maryland University, researchers found that cyber-attacks happen once every 39 seconds. As one of the first organizations to quantify cyber-attacks, Maryland University also says that these attacks can affect one out of every three U.S. citizens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the number of connected devices today is estimated at around 200 billion. Combined with the fact that 77% of organizations have no cybersecurity response plans in place, America’s application security is far from being an adequate response to the rapid-fire threat posed by hackers. These frightening statistics underscore why the fields of cybersecurity and quality assurance (QA) need to integrate their key processes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both QA and cybersecurity are about risk management&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the development lifecycle, QA teams are all about filling in the gaps in order to minimize risks to the quality of the end product or user experience. Meanwhile, cybersecurity processes such as Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) are all about identifying security-related risks. From authorization concerns to data vulnerabilities, MAST is about analyzing all the potential risk that comes with every possible action on that app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In turn, this type of testing makes the job of QA teams easier down the line. With fewer security risks comes less risk to the overall quality of the software as well. And the better the quality, the easier it becomes to spot any cybersecurity risks. Because of how QA and cybersecurity intersect in terms of risk management, coordinating with one another can significantly lighten the workload of both parties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Security testing is ‘shifting to the left’&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This simply means that cybersecurity or application security training is now being integrated within software developers’ daily responsibilities. Rather than being a discrete step in the development lifecycle, this leftward-shift means that cybersecurity is becoming part and parcel of the QA testing process. In their task to build the test infrastructure, today’s software developers, data scientists, and QA testers are expected to have a solid grasp of security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A similar shift to the left can be observed in cutting edge tech training institutions, like the long-standing and web-based Maryville University. Aimed at producing well-rounded developers and software experts, the online school’s different advanced tech programs were developed with cybersecurity integration in mind. In fact, the online bachelor’s in cybersecurity at Maryville University is designed to be paired with its masteral-level data science, software development, and MBA courses. Furthermore, with coursework mostly happening in the university’s Apple-distinguished Virtual Lab, students can train in a fully online and mobile platform that they can access anywhere. This includes working on defensive digital tactics for real-world companies – under the remote supervision of cybersecurity experts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This gives students real-world experience in remote and collaborative cybersecurity work. When they graduate, this hands-on remote training will be valuable in terms of collaborating with QA experts. Whether they go on to focus on cybersecurity or branch out to other in-demand fields like data science, software development, or business administration, the security experts of the future are being trained to more easily integrate their security expertise with companies’ existing QA testing infrastructures. From training to implementation, this impending partnership between security and QA is inevitable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In an age where high-value targets like the Defense Department, other government offices, financial institutions, social media platforms, and tech giants are being constantly assailed by hackers, the integration of software QA and security is the best defense. It’s no secret that cybersecurity concerns have led to software developers and QA teams being spread out too thin. But with security being integrated as a top-of-mind priority for anyone involved in the testing infrastructure, then security experts, developers, and QA teams can breathe a little easier.&lt;/p&gt;
