I am passionate about software and software testing. Software is a backbone of almost all major industries and of the current human civilization. Almost nothing can work without software. According to Gerry Weinberg, one of the most famous thinkers in the field of software, Quality is value to some person. When we build a software, it is an implicit understanding that it must satisfy the quality expectations of some users. This is Quality in the field of Software. I have been involved in Software Quality Assurance/ Assistance for a period of 10+ years. I have striven to help out consumers identify the areas experiencing a reduction in quality from their expectations. I believe tools can and do assist us a lot if used effectively in all aspects of life. Similarly, software testing can also leverage tools, if used effectively, to improve the efficiency of the quality improvement process and provide testers more time to be involved in areas where they need to focus more. I have been using HP UFT, SmartBear TestComplete, Selenium and other tools for 8+ years to assist my fellow testers by reducing their dependencies in the Regression portion of the Application Testing. Regression involves testing other areas of the application to ensure that any changes made to one specific area of the application does not bring about any unexpected changes in these other areas. These areas can be covered through Automated Regression tests, which provides more time for the domain experts/functional testers to focus on more important and directly affected areas. ©
