In the world of software testing, metrics like test coverage, defect rates, and test pass rates are often treated as the gold standard for measuring quality. Teams track these numbers meticulously, believing that they provide a clear picture of their software’s health and testing effectiveness. But are these test metrics really providing valuable insights, or…

In the world of Agile software development, roles have always been dynamic, and the traditional boundaries between developers, testers, and other team members have become increasingly blurred. One of the most debated questions in Agile environments is whether quality assurance (QA) should remain the responsibility of dedicated QA professionals or if developers should also shoulder…

As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies continue to advance at a rapid pace, industries across the board are facing a wave of automation that promises to reshape how work is done. One of the areas most affected by this change is software development, where AI-driven tools are increasingly being used for testing…

Test automation frameworks are often hailed as productivity boosters that streamline the testing process, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistent test execution. In theory, they enable faster releases and better software quality by running a suite of tests automatically, freeing up manual testers to focus on more complex tasks. However, as with many tools, the…

When I first started in QA, I didn’t know much about coding. Like many in the field, I focused on manually executing test cases, finding bugs, and reporting them. But over the years, I realized something critical: to truly advance in QA, learning to code isn’t just a nice-to-have skill—it’s a game-changer. Let me share…

Test automation can feel like a superpower for QA teams—saving time, improving efficiency, and enabling faster feedback loops. But if not done right, it can quickly turn into a maintenance nightmare, leaving teams frustrated and disillusioned. Having worked on multiple automation frameworks over the years, I’ve encountered my fair share of mistakes. In this post,…
