Difference between Software Testing and Embedded Testing
Software testing involves only the testing of software parts of the system, while embedded testing involves the testing of both software and hardware parts of the system. Read through this article to find out more about software testing and embedded testing and how they are different from each other. What is Software Testing? Software testing refers to verifying and validating the behavior of the software developed. It ensures that software works as expected without any defect. It also helps in documenting that software is meeting the requirements and is ready to use. Software testing also checks the exceptions and error ...
Read MoreWhat is Testing as a Service (TaaS Model)?
Testing as a Service or TaaS is a process where an organization outsources its testing services from a third party. A business can rent infrastructure, buy testing tools and software on pay per use basis, or handover their entire testing responsibilities to a third-party service provider.TaaS is generally used for automated testing processes, which requires a massive amount of resources if done manually. The resources could be staff, time, money, or technology.Classification of TaaSTaaS is an umbrella covering a wide range of functional and non-functional testing procedures. It helps organizations enjoy customized and comprehensive support of an experienced testing team ...
Read MoreObject-oriented Life Cycle Model in Software Engineering
The object-oriented life cycle model considers 'objects' as the basis of the software engineering process. The development team starts by observing and analyzing the system they intend to develop before defining the requirements. Once the process is over, they focus on identifying the objects of the system. Now, an object could be anything; it can have a physical existence like a customer, car, etc. An object also constitutes intangible elements like a process or a project.Advantages of Object-Oriented Life Cycle ModelApart from enhancing the system performance, object-oriented programming offers some advantages such as:Since it is data-focused and easy to work ...
Read MoreLife Cycle Phases of Data Analytics
Life Cycle Phases of Data AnalyticsThe Data Analytics Lifecycle is a cyclic process which explains, in six stages, how information in made, collected, processed, implemented, and analyzed for different objectives.Data DiscoveryThis is the initial phase to set your project's objectives and find ways to achieve a complete data analytics lifecycle. Start with defining your business domain and ensure you have enough resources (time, technology, data, and people) to achieve your goals.The biggest challenge in this phase is to accumulate enough information. You need to draft an analytic plan, which requires some serious leg work.Accumulate resourcesFirst, you have to analyze the ...
Read MoreSoftware Inspection Guiding Principles
Testing Shows the Presence of DefectsEach application must pass through a search of testing phases such as system integration testing, user acceptance testing and beta testing, etc. before they are released into production. Some form of defects will always be found, Regardless of how much testing one conducts.The core purpose of the testing team should focus on finding the defects in an application. The inspection team must use different methods to discover as many errors as they can. It helps in reducing the number of undiscovered errors in a software application. Even though the testing team fails to find any ...

Read MoreKey Points on Automation
Automation is one of the hot domain in the Information and Technology, which has become predominant topic of discussion among the IT professionals. In general, automation can be defined as the process of involving software robots or hardware robots to solve the human problems (requirements). Due to this automation, it is said that ¼th of the job will be lost in the market. But people still prefer automation for (top) 7 reasons, which is discussed in this article.Cost SavingsCost is one of the major factor in the software development cycle, which predominantly comes into picture right from the planning phase. ...
Read MoreWhy Should You Care About Machine Learning?
When I say machine learning, it reminds me a subject for the B.Tech Mechanical stream. No this is not a session of machine learning or it’s not related to your regular subject knowledge. The topic remains the same but it’s still different. So before we go to the point why should we be bothered about what is machine learning. We should now see what is machine learning actually.What is Machine Learning?Machine learning is a subcategory or to a say, a type of artificial intelligence (AI) which gives computers, a privilege to learn without being explicitly programmed. It mainly focuses on ...

Read MoreSnapshot of Agile Software Development
Software Development Methodology involves a comprehensive set of activities where there exists an ordering relationship between activities. In the absence of any predefined ordering relationship, the ability to produce the desired product may go for a toss. Be it any software development methodology – the goal of all software development methodologies is to produce good quality software and deliver it to the customers within the mutually agreed deadlines.Let us first understand the purpose of specifying the Agile Software Development Methodology whose manifesto essentially comprises the following −Individuals and Interactions − Individuals can be anybody who is involved either directly or ...
