Letter from the Editor – September 2010

By LogiGear Corporation | Sep 1, 2010October 28, 2020 | Letter from the Editor

We launched the first ever software testing conference in Vietnam, VISTACON. It was a resounding success, with well over 200 participants and 20+ speakers from around the globe; each speaking on a wide range of cutting-edge testing topics. In this month’s magazine, we have uploaded several video recordings of event presentations – giving our readers a small peak into our inaugural event.

Also in this issue we continue Michael Hackett’s five part series on Agile for Tester. In part three, Michael talks about what testers will encounter around the various practices and processes while testing an application in Agile. For testers working in an Agile development process, this is essential reading – we look forward to bringing you parts four and five in the coming issues.
Lastly, I’m excited to announce that LogiGear will begin to solicit outside article contributions for future magazine issues – we feel that getting additional material from testing experts and practitioners in the software testing industry only furthers our mission to publish the most interesting, relevant and unique material on all things software testing.

Letter from the Editor - December 2012

In the November 2011 issue: Mobile Application Testing, I began my column with the statement, “Everything is mobile.” One year later the statement is even more true. More devices, more platforms, more diversity, more apps. It boggles the mind how fast the landscape changes. Blackberry has been kicked to the curb by cooler and slicker ...

Letter from the Editor - March 2011

I have been excited about this issue since I included it in the 2011 editorial calendar. This issue of LogiGear Magazine dives into an exploration of agile automation—from the most efficient methods for test automation, to skill sets and better preparation for test teams, and even to understanding the variety of tools in question. We ...

Every year, LogiGear Magazine devotes one full issue to Test Automation. We could do more than one, and perhaps even that would not be enough. The problems around automation have become increasingly complex. And now, automation is much more integrated into the software development process. For over a decade teams have been faced with “do ...

As we settle into autumn, we’re taking the time to start some new traditions. This is LogiGear magazine’s first issue on SMAC. SMAC—social, mobile, analytics and cloud. We will be doing more issues in the next few years on these topics since so much of the product world is moving to this development stack.

Letter from the Editor

I remember the times when test teams sat in their own area and we were not allowed to “bother” developers.

Letter from the Editor - July 2013

In our continuing effort to be the best source of information for keeping testers and test teams current, we have another issue to explore testing in Agile development. As Agile evolves, systemic problems arise and common rough situations become apparent. We want to provide solutions. For anyone who has worked on Agile projects, especially if ...

Letter from the Editor - July 2011

How do you test software? How do you validate it? How do you find bugs? These are all good questions anyone on your project team or anyone responsible for customers may ask you. Can you articulate your test strategy─not your test process, but explain your approach to testing? I find that this can be a ...

If you are reading this issue, you are probably aware of the impact on the business world of cloud computing. Most people do not have a good grasp on what the cloud is or how people and products can use it. BTW, you are already a cloud user. If your email is stored somewhere “on ...

“Why do we need to understand a bunch of test methods? I write test cases from user stories or requirements, automate what I can and execute the rest manually, and its fine.” If this is your situation: good for you. If you are time crunched, if your automated tests have lost relevance, are hard to ...

Letter from the Editor - September 2012

There has been a tectonic shift in software development tools in just the past few years. Agile practices and increasingly distributed teams have been significant factors but, in my opinion, the main reason is a new and more intense focus on tools for testing driven by more complex software and shorter development cycles. There have ...

Letter from the Editor - February 2013

Change is constant. What’s different today is the rate of change. Moore’s law resulted from the observation that that the rate of change in computing power is exponential. The products, services and software landscape appears just as dynamic. At the same time, we pretty much take for granted the ubiquitous presence of software running our ...

Letter From The Editor - June 2020

Continuous Testing… what is it? When we first decided to do a magazine issue dedicated to the DevOps practice of Continuous Testing, I joked with someone: “It’s about testing continuously.” And their reply was: “Yeah. What else would it be?” I was joking, but clearly the joke didn’t land. Continuous Testing is about testing continuously, ...
