Continuous Integration is Absurd without Unit Testing
Continuous integration is absurd without unit testing. Imagine this conversation between colleagues: “We are DevOps pioneers,” my colleague says, swinging his arm towards the Dell Inspiron that hums away on the edge of his desk.

Can requirements-based software testing be automated?
Very few people love testing, but technology has come a long way since the days when tests needed to be written manually one by one. Requirements-based testing however, tends to act as a sticking point when teams start to investigate how they can increase their levels of test automation. With AI development progressing rapidly it is likely that one day machines will...
What is meant by Structural (Code) Coverage?
Put simply structural, or code, coverage is the amount of code that is covered in execution by a single test or collection of tests. For a procedural language like C, you can identify a function of interest, run some test cases on this function, and then measure what proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the code has been executed. The general rule is...
