Today I would like to uncover the topic of parallel testing in context of test automation approaches: its potential benefits and possible scenarios. So let’s dwell on the matter of test automation as we know it.  What can we call a common benefit on this regard?  The most obvious one can be referred to as […]

This time we would like to share some details about realization of one of our projects in medical imaging. Currently one of the bottlenecks in MR image reconstruction is speed improvement. Improving the speed of image reconstruction is difficult from algorithmic point of view. But it’s becoming more popular to improve algorithm performance using GPU. […]

Disruptor is a framework for building high-performance applications that allows you to process large amount of messages concurrently without locks. It was initially invented by LMAX software development team members – Martin Thompson, Mike Barker and Dave Farley. It is said that with Disruptor you can achieve 100K transactions per second performance with less than […]

Last time we were writing about Cloud Computing basics. Today we are going to discuss myths about cloud computing. Our main goal is to understand what is real and what is just a myth. Lower cost Probably the most controversial topic about Cloud Computing is it’s cost. On the one hand, vendors usually say cloud computing is […]

Cloud Computing is one of the most speculated terms in IT industry last couple of years. We call “cloud” lots of things, sometimes absolutely different. We’re starting the series of posts, dedicated to large set of technologies somehow related to Cloud Computing. We start our journey from the very beginning: let’s define cloud and understand what […]

Challenge Create application that supports both platforms (iOS and Android) and has a similar functionality optimized for interaction design principles and users expectations unique to each platform. Environment The important thing to keep in mind is that iOS and Android environments are based on unique for each platform guidelines, user interaction architecture and design patterns. […]

Why Do We Need Exploratory Testing? At times, it helps in revealing many unknown and un-detected bugs, which is very hard to find out through normal testing. As it covers almost all the normal types  of testing, it helps improving our productivity in terms of covering the scenarios in scripted testing and those which are […]

There are different Exploratory Testing Styles and variations that often yield similar results. What follows are some styles I’ve observed. Intuit This is the most common style. Testers who haven’t learned specific exploratory testing techniques tend to do this naturally. When you ask them what they are doing when they are testing in the absence […]

“Exploratory software testing is a powerful approach, yet widely misunderstood. In my experience, it can be orders of magnitude more productive than scripted testing. All testers who create tests at all practice some form of exploratory testing, yet many don’t even realize it. Few of us study this approach, and it doesn’t get much respect […]
