Network throttling testing is the practice of intentionally slowing down internet connection speeds to simulate how a web application or mobile app performs under slow, latent, or unreliable network conditions.It can be part of performance testing or conducted separately.Developers and QEs use this technique to see what end-users with poor coverage or slower mobile connections (such as 3G or slow 4G) will experience, rather than just relying on the ultra-fast speeds typically available in a corporate office.

The practice of evaluating software applications under real-world conditions with actual end-users, unconstrained by simulated or controlled laboratory environments. It allows Quality Engineering (QE) teams to assess performance, usability, and functionality across highly fragmented device types, network speeds, and operating systems.Examples include but are not limited to: testing your website or mobile application whilst walking around, internet reception varying including connecting to unreliable cafe wifi, losing connection completely on the underground train etc. 

A a software testing methodology that assesses how an application responds to and recovers from unexpected disruptions. Its goal is to ensure the app handles interruptions gracefully without crashing, losing user progress, or compromising data integrity. Most commonly associated with Mobile Application Testing, dealing with incoming notifications, phone calls, no internet etc. also known as interrupt testing,

Soft skills are the non-technical, interpersonal, and cognitive abilities that determine how a professional manages workloads, solves problems, and collaborates across teams. Opposite of soft skills are technical "hard" skillsTogether these competencies dictate a Quality Engineer's true impact and career trajectory.

Navigating with the keyboard only is one effective method of accessibility testing.Checking the tab order is logical, that everything can be tabbed to, escape can be used to exit modals etc.
