Functional Test Automation One of the most well-known and oft-heralded tools of modern functional testing is the emergence of functional test automation. The beauty of automated tests are that they allow developers and QA departments to easily design, write, execute, and review tests, which can then be automatically performed at will, whether that means prior […]
Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery & Customer Success The disconnect between QA and DevOps often occurs due to misconceptions about the role of quality assurance in the modern software development life cycle. Even as continuous integration servers and continuous delivery practices check your code for errors, they don’t ensure its quality when you define quality from […]
Automating an Immutable Infrastructure Commonly used in the realm of programming, the concept of an immutable object simply refers to an object whose state cannot be changed after its creation. Many programming languages support immutability, thereby forcing a variable or object to be read-only, in which the contents can only be viewed or read, but […]
Crowdtesting and Agile Development One of the key tenets of the agile software development methodology is the concept of iteration and incremental evolution of the project throughout the entire software development life cycle. As fresh ideas come to fruition and new systems are developed to bring those ideas to life, often the project will go […]
Thanks to the DevOps revolution of the last few years and continuous delivery practices, testing in production may not be as reckless as it sounds. If you’ve got high levels of test coverage, a strong ethos of developer testing and code quality, good monitoring tools, and automated deployment scripts, testing in production has one big advantage: if you discover a bug in production, you know it’s the real deal, not an environment issue.
The year may be coming to a close, but that does not mean things are slowing down at test IO. The test IO team has recently added four new employees and continued its expansion into the US. Get to know the newest additions!
Reviewing bugs might not be the most pleasant experience but is crucial to guaranteeing that your platform is ready for production. We at test IO do our best to make sure this process is as stress-free and easy as possible for you. With this in mind, we recently redesigned our bug reports, providing you with a more focused and flexible layout.
Six weeks at a company is not a long time, but being an intern at test IO is definitely an opportunity to discover your strengths (and weaknesses), all the while getting immersed in the awesome startup culture.
Having studied at Games Academy in Berlin and previously worked as a Community Representative for EA Games, Anjo Gaul has joined the test IO Team to manage our global testing community. He’s focused on providing new growth and educational opportunities for testers, as well as fostering interaction among them.
Born and raised in Berlin, Alex began his work with test IO three years ago as a member of our crowdtesting community. His passion for game testing and technology eventually led to a degree in business analytics. Having started here as a tester and worked with dozens of customers as a member of the customer success team, Alex knows crowdtesting from the ground up. He sat down with me to share his insights as a former (and sometimes current) tester and on how test IO guarantees our customers’ success with crowdsourced testing.
