Software development is a very labor intensive process. This is where the testing process comes in handy if you want to end up with a good product. Moreover, testing should be carried out in the early stages of development. You can find more useful information about the difficulties with test automation here https://zapple.tech/blog/types-of-automation-testing/challenges-in-automation-testing/
loving these short news episodes...keep up the great work Changelog team
wtf y'all rambling about
Cooperation with competent specialists has a significant impact on the success of your company. During testing, the QA team make sure that the software product properly performs all documented functions and does not do what it should not, you can read more about it here https://www.deviqa.com/services/automation-testing-services/
However, the successful implementation of large control systems requires a non-standard approach, a creative solution. The use of the basics of ergonomics in the design, implementation and implementation of the control system will allow solving many "psychological" and "technological" problems of enterprises, explore more on https://www.mindk.com/industries/fintech/
