Test Automation
Effective testing is key to a successful project. However, managing and running tests manually can be a drain on time and money. That’s the reason so many organizations are choosing automated testing — it maximizes efficiency and makes best use of limited resources. Test automation that is well planned and
Team Work
People often start working together before getting to know each other. We all jump in with our own ways of doing things without knowing how other people work. Sometimes this can shake up a team in a good way, but often it results in battles between personalities & preferences. Here
