The purpose of this blog is to help you understand the software testing types needed to build quality software. While white box testing reviews the inside of the code and black box testing evaluates the functionality of this software from the user’s perspective, grey box testing falls somewhere in between, and this article covers what makes each individual software as great as it is today.

If there was a way to make your software testing faster, more accurate, and much less expensive, wouldn’t that be a game changer? That’s exactly what AI test automation is making possible. Traditional testing methods are slow, tedious, and expensive—especially as software gets more complex. Manual testing is time-consuming, brings errors throughout the process, and is a costly proposition. However, these problems can be overcome with AI-powered automation.

Shift Left Testing is all about moving testing further left, as far up the development process as possible. Tight schedules are another favorable factor in testing early and often so that the development process is smoother and of higher quality. Wondering how this approach works and why it’s causing such a massive shift in development practices? Now, let’s look at how Shift Left Testing makes efficiency, quality, and collaboration the focus of software development.

In software testing, it is our job to understand how applications behave in their real-world environment. With observability, teams gain a better view: not just detecting issues but understanding why they’re occurring in the first place. In testing observability, unlike traditional monitoring, which typically signals when things go wrong, observability focuses on why and where it happened so the team can optimize system health.

Since Agile moves quickly with constant updates, regression testing is a key part of making sure the software stays reliable. With each new update, there’s a risk that changes might impact parts of the software that were already working well. Regression testing reduces that risk by checking that earlier features still work as expected after changes, helping to keep the software stable and dependable as it evolves.

Testing web applications is more difficult today than ever before, as testing on the web is time-consuming. Complexity increases with technology, and businesses and developers need efficient tools to deal with it. This is where Selenium became one of the most widely used test automation tools and has been crucial in reducing testing efforts as well as improving user experience.

More often in today’s society of growing ‘entrepreneurs’, almost all are developing Minimum Viable Products MVPs that breathe life into their concepts. A shocking but true statistic reveals that 90% of startups fail. One big reason for this is the poor execution of a key tool in the startup world: the minimum viable product (MVP).

Some of the popular AI tools people and corporations are using now include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. This has resulted in higher usage and adoption of this technology and this has caused some worry among people, particularly in terms of employment.

So in today’s world of software development, where things happen so fast, test automation is no longer an option but a necessity. Thus, it helps developers shift their attention to creativity and develop new features rather than being bogged down by monotonous microtasks. But here’s the catch: automation isn’t an effortless solution. If not handled properly, it can create more issues than solutions—poor-quality test code, unreliable (flaky) tests, and holes in test coverage.

Whether you’re a Software Developer, DevOps Engineer, or Quality Assurance (QA) specialist, mastering API testing with tools like Postman is essential, especially during development. API testing using Postman makes it possible to increase security, provide better user experiences, and minimize the possibility of losses through bugs or vulnerabilities.
