With so much of the infrastructure we rely on in our daily lives dependent on accurate and unfailing software, it's more important than ever to catch and correct bugs in the code. As such, there has been a big push lately toward more automation in QA testing.

User Acceptance testing is the final stage in quality assurance and quality is no longer simply, “Does it work?” Usability has become a part of functionality.
Severity guidelines can be a double-edged sword... Set your definitions too strict and your releases will be plagued by unnecessary delays - go too far the other way and your users may never forgive you.
A team of skilled software testers is a huge competitive advantage for any organisation. In this infographic we reveal Bugwolf's time-proven philosophy for attracting the best testing talent, including the exact job ad we use when we need to find A-grade testers.
Did you know that professional UAT teams can add significant value to new releases, even before a single line of code has been written? It’s true. Senior digital leaders are increasingly turning to user acceptance teams with the hope of uncovering critical product insights during the planning stage of the SDLC - not to review their own software, but rather the software of others in your market (and beyond).
Let’s get something clear right off the bat: every single person in your organisation should take ownership of digital quality. A decade ago you might have been forgiven for isolating quality to the deepest depths of your IT department, but today the line between digital and physical products has faded.
The sheer growth of digital devices over the last 20 years has made information more accessible than ever and greatly increased the need for new applications to not only process that information, but to accomplish new tasks and tasks that were once done manually.
Usability testing is no longer treated as just something that needs to be done at the end of website or application development. It is now an important element that is present, at least to some degree, throughout the development cycle.
Perhaps the single most important element in software testing is to produce a functional piece of software. You want what reaches the customer or the marketplace to be as free of bugs as possible.
