Part Two of a Three-Part Series Machine Learning lets testing software extract important features from fuzzy and fast-changing information — exploiting a basic understanding that “everything is data”. Machine learning is at the leading edge of much of today’s most exciting research in AI, data mining, optimization, speech processing, and related fields. And it’s a … Continued
Part One of a Three-Part Series No sci-fi required — Artificial Intelligence — Machine Learning, Machine Vision, and related technologies — can dramatically improve your QA and software testing _today_. (But here’s the catch: reality is both more powerful and way less sexy, than you might think.) Recent blogs and articles — some causing buzz … Continued
In the first part of this blog, I gave you an overview of how the microservices architecture differs from the classic monolithic software architecture and we explored why microservices are so hard to test using traditional testing methodologies. I gave 5 tips for how you might approach your test planning and briefly touched on serverless … Continued
Few of you can fail to have heard of microservices recently. Although not new (Google and Amazon have been using them for over a decade), microservices have become the architecture of choice for an increasing number of applications. For big corporations like Google, they make sense as they simplify the process of spreading work across … Continued
Convolutional neural nets — and a superb new test-set — help Functionize perform web visual (and machine-vision-enhanced functional) testing that’s fast, robust, and resource-efficient Determining if web pages have been been correctly rendered is essential to website testing. If a layout breaks, if controls render outside the viewport or selectors stack in the wrong z-index … Continued

Adopting a new QA/Test automation framework isn’t for the faint of heart. Script-oriented tools like Selenium need specialized IT/Ops management. They need to be integrated closely with developer workflow; with build and deploy automation, with CI/CD infrastructure. Test scripts need to be coded, debugged, executed and actioned, maintained and extended — this effort (actually these efforts, … Continued
