The Debate over Testing versus CheckingTesting and checking, like a lot of language in software testing, is there in order to more precisely describe something we are already doing. However, there is a strange plague of people who feel the need to police others' language whenever they try to use the terms interchangeably. What we need is more understanding. |

Is It Impossible to Perfectly Simulate Real-Life Testing Situations? Even with test automation, service virtualization, artificial intelligence, and the medley of other software innovations we’ve seen in the last few years, is it possible to accurately simulate real-life situations for your application within the myriad testing phases prelaunch? |

Think Differently about the Future of Software TestingArtificial intelligence is not here to replace human testers. Looking into a crystal ball, testing still looks promising for real people. The trick is that humans will need to learn to coexist with these testing bots. Here are some ways we can start to think differently about the future of testing. |

Build the Right Things and Build Them Fast: Accelerate the Continuous Delivery PipelineWhen most people think about continuous delivery, they think of improving the build-test-deploy-operate cycle. They don’t think about how to improve the intake process. Ensuring that quality is built into the application—not tested for after the fact—is the key to achieving accelerated continuous delivery. |

Software Success Depends on Getting Your App Properly Tested from the Jump Quality can’t be just another box you need to check off at the very bottom of your to-do list. If you don’t properly test your application—whether that’s through traditional manual work or strategic automation—there’s a significant chance the final product won’t find a real audience. |

Delivering Successful Software Requires You to Fail Faster The concept of failing has changed from something people dread to a necessary part of creating secure, functioning applications. That means that you don’t want to have one major failure at the very end of the development lifecycle—you need to continue to fail before release to find real success. |

Testing the Security of the Internet of Things The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it on many of the trends lists for the year. Given that security issues can make or break market acceptance for IoT solutions, security testing as a quality attribute is expected to gain a lot of prominence in app development again this year. |
