Embracing Shift-Left Testing in Custom Software Development
Often, projects run over their proposed deadline or even go over budget. This is often attributed to a lack of appropriate project planning and management. However another main culprit that’s overlooked is that software testing is often done too late in the project’s development life cycle. The effect of this can be a project struggling […]
Role-based Access with Lambda Functions
Systems often have different tasks and actions that are performed by different users. Users and administrators are the simplest examples of this. It gets more complicated if there are multiple types of users with their own sets of actions or a hierarchy of administrators. A flexible way of dealing with this complexity is to include […]
Understanding the Consequences of Non-Incremental Software Releases in Quality Assurance

Navigating the IT world: A QA’s Perspective
Have you ever experienced that cloud of confusion paired with some mild “imposter syndrome” when someone mentions the words “IT” or “software development”? I promise you that you’re not the only one. For years I avoided anyone who wanted to talk to me about coding and anything related to it. Whenever someone just mentioned “Java” […]
