Google’s ‘walled garden’ under regulatory scrutiny

The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is launching a formal investigation into proposed changes to Google’s Chrome browser over concerns that the company could abuse its dominance in online advertising.  The investigation will look into proposed ‘Privacy Sandbox’ changes to Chrome, specifically how the proposed phase-out of support for third-party cookies and other functionalities … Read more

Advantages of V-model

Simple and easy to use. Testing activities like planning, test designing happens well before coding. This saves a lot of time. Hence higher chance of success over the waterfall model. Proactive defect tracking – that is defects are found at early stage. Avoids the downward flow of the defects. Works well for small projects where requirements are … Read more

V-model in Software testing

V- model means Verification and Validation model. Just like the waterfall model, the V-Shaped life cycle is a sequential path of execution of processes. Each phase must be completed before the next phase begins. V-Model is one of the many software development models. Testing of the product is planned in parallel with a corresponding phase of development in V-model. The … Read more

Waterfall model

The Waterfall Model was first Process Model to be introduced. It is also referred to as a linear-sequential life cycle model.  It is very simple to understand and use.  In a waterfall model, each phase must be completed fully before the next phase can begin. This type of software development model is basically used for the project which … Read more

Software Development Models

The software development models are the various processes or methodologies that are being selected for the development of the project depending on the project’s aims and goals. There are many development life cycle models that have been developed in order to achieve different required objectives. The models specify the various stages of the process and the order … Read more

Incremental testing in software

The incremental testing approach has the advantage that the defects are found early in a smaller assembly when it is relatively easy to detect the cause. Another advantage is that all programs are integrated one by one and a test is carried out after each step.  A disadvantage is that it can be time-consuming since stubs and … Read more

Difference between regression testing and retesting

Before we start with the differences between regression testing and retesting it’s good to have simple understanding of each topic. Basically, regression testing is carried out to ensure that the existing functionality is working fine and there are no side effects of any new change or enhancements done in the application. In other words, Regression Testing checks to see … Read more

Structural testing

The structural testing is the testing of the structure of the system or component. Structural testing is often referred to as ‘white box testing’ or ‘glass box’ or ‘clear-box testing’ because in structural testing we are interested in what is happening ‘inside the system/application’. In structural testing the testers are required to have the knowledge … Read more
