This blog post explores the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in software testing, drawing inspiration from the podcast “AB Testing: All We Talk About is AI” (Episode 187: All We Talk About is AI). The Rise of AI in Software Development AI is transforming various aspects of software development, and testing is no exception.…

Welcome back, fellow coders! Today, I’m going back to a technique called path testing.  Why is Path Testing Important? Software development thrives on creating programs that function flawlessly, regardless of user interaction. Traditional testing methods might miss certain sections of code depending on user choices. Path testing, however, takes a different approach. It systematically executes…

This week,I am revisiting some fundamental test case design techniques as I was inspired from an article about Boundary Value and Equivalence Class testing: equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis. While these terms might sound complex, they offer a structured and efficient approach to software testing, particularly for numerical inputs or situations with defined input…

Data science is a powerful field that can unlock valuable insights from data. However, the quality of those insights depends heavily on the quality of the data used to create them. Imagine building a house on a foundation with cracks. Even the best construction plans won’t prevent problems down the road. Similarly, data science projects…

The online world offers incredible convenience, but it also comes with inherent security risks. News stories about data breaches and hacker attacks can make anyone feel uneasy. But there’s a way to fight back, and it’s not what you might think! Security testing allows you to become a good guy hacker (ethically, of course) and…

The “TestGuild Automation Podcast” is a fantastic resource for computer science students preparing to enter the professional world. Hosted by Joe, the podcast dives deep into the realm of automation testing—a key aspect of software development where code is used to test other code. This method is vital as it helps detect and resolve issues…

Why I Like the “Code Review” Podcast and How It Helps Me Code Better As a CS student, I’m passionate about finding ways to level up my skills. Lately, I was listening  the “Code Review” podcast, and it’s become an unexpectedly valuable resource. Honestly, I used to think code reviews were only for those super…

In a recent episode of the Python Test Podcast, titled “TDD: Don’t Be Afraid of Test-Driven Development”, developer Chris May shared his journey with Test-Driven Development (TDD).  If you’re a programmer interested in improving your code quality and development process, this blog post offers a summary of the discussion and explores why TDD is a…
