Low-code test automation tools
Mirza Sisic
Mirza Sisic
contributed:
<div>Low-code test automation tools are software solutions that allow users to create, manage, and execute automated tests with minimal to no traditional programming knowledge. <br><br>They achieve this by using: <br><br>
</div><ul>
<li>
<strong>Visual interfaces:</strong> Often drag-and-drop elements, flowcharts, or graphical editors. </li>
<li>
<strong>Record-and-playback: </strong>Users perform actions on the application, and the tool records these actions to generate test steps. </li>
<li>
<strong>Pre-built components and templates: </strong>Reusable modules for common testing scenarios. </li>
<li>
<strong>AI/ML capabilities: </strong>For features like self-healing tests (automatically adapting to minor UI changes) and smart locators (intelligently identifying elements). </li>
</ul><div><br></div><div>This approach empowers a wider range of team members, including manual testers, business analysts, and product managers, to contribute to test automation, speeding up the testing process and improving overall software quality. </div> image

Scope creep
Mirza Sisic
Mirza Sisic
contributed:
In software development, scope creep refers to the uncontrolled and gradual growth of a project's requirements, features, or work beyond what was originally agreed upon. This often happens without proper evaluation, documentation, or adjustment to the project's budget, resources, or timeline. Managing scope creep is important as it helps us minimize delays in project delivery, misunderstandings, and breaches of deadlines. image

SMART criteria
Mirza Sisic
Mirza Sisic
contributed:
<div>SMART is an acronym for a widely used goal-setting framework. It’s short for: <br><br>
</div><ul>
<li>
<strong>S - Specific:</strong> Goals should be clear, well-defined, and unambiguous. They answer the "who, what, where, when, why, and how" of the objective. </li>
<li>
<strong>M - Measurable:</strong> Goals must have measurable indicators to track progress and determine when they've been achieved. This involves setting metrics or benchmarks. </li>
<li>
<strong>A - Achievable:</strong> Goals should be realistic and achievable given available resources, time, and capabilities. While challenging, they shouldn't be impossible. </li>
<li>
<strong>R - Relevant:</strong> Goals should align with broader objectives, values, and the overall mission. They should make sense in the context of the larger picture. </li>
<li>
<strong>T - Time-bound:</strong> Goals need a defined deadline or timeframe for completion. This creates urgency and provides a target for completion. </li>
</ul><div>
<br>These are often used so individuals and organizations can set more focused, actionable, and trackable goals, increasing their chances of success and making things like performance evaluation easier.</div> image
