"Testing is not just about finding bugs,
it's about gaining confidence in your software."
In an ideal world, testing has all the time it needs. But in reality, deadlines get squeezed, development slips, and QA time often takes the hit.
So how do I ensure quality when testing time is significantly reduced?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my QA journey, it’s that change is constant—especially in Agile projects. Requirements shift. Features evolve. Priorities flip overnight.
So, how do I handle testing when the requirements keep changing during development?
Automation is powerful — it saves time, boosts confidence, and speeds up feedback. But even the best test suites can fail unexpectedly.
So what do I do when I come in and see a red test report in the morning?
In software testing, it's not just about finding bugs - it's about validating them, backing them with solid evidence, and communicating effectively. Sometimes, even when I believe I have uncovered a defect, the developer pushes back.
As much as we try to anticipate all possible scenarios in our test cases, there will be moments when an issue arises during User Acceptance Testing (UAT) that wasn’t initially covered.
The client flags a defect, and suddenly, the test case misses coverage. What’s the best way to address this without compromising quality or trust?

When you're working with tight deadlines and limited testing time, regression testing can become a challenge. You need to ensure that the core functionalities of the application are working as expected, even with limited resources. But how do you maximize your testing efforts and minimize risk in such situations? Let me share my approach to handling regression testing when time is of the essence.
Identifying a critical bug just before deployment can be one of the most stressful situations in software development. A bug discovered so late in the process can threaten the release schedule, impact customer experience, and undermine stakeholder confidence. So, how do you manage this high-pressure situation and ensure that the release goes smoothly while addressing the defect?
