Why Is Shift-Left Testing Gaining Popularity in Agile Development?

Image
  In the Agile world where development activities are released often and multiple rounds of development are accomplished in a limited timeframe, the quality of software cannot be an add-on. Earlier, software testing techniques that were practiced were a phase-based testing cycle and were proven costly and inadequate for Agile due to its continuous integration and delivery systems. This has created shift-left testing culture that seeks to ensure that testing is done beginning from the early stages of development. Application of shift-left testing practices is common in Agile setting given that it holds that early testing is critical to the achievement of efficiency, low cost, and integrated effort. It has become popular with Agile teams and QA & software testing professionals as a way towards responding to time-to-market considerations for today’s development iterations. Can we, therefore, look at shift left testing in detail on why it is used and how it integrates with the Agile d

How AI is Transforming Mobile App Development

Image
Modern development and progress of Mobile Apps cannot be understood and separated from the role of artificial intelligence in the current digital world. AI has not only improved the usability of the mobile app but has also revolutionized the experience of the users. Thus, artificial intelligence is starting to redefine the mobile application landscape by using the application of individual approaches, smart automation, and predictive information. As years go by, AI is increasingly taking deeper roots in the application development process to help developers create better applications that are capable of satisfying users’ needs in a more efficient way. The Power of AI in Mobile App Development AI has shaped the mobile app development of better and value-added, function-rich, advanced, and personalized mobile applications. AI has brought in distinct characteristics such as the ability of an app to talk with users via chat or recognize their voice. AI for apps makes it possible for the a
