ZenTao once again stands out from the crowd as the most common test management tool in the industry. This is the eighth year in a row that ZenTao has been the winner of "Common Test Management Tools"!

Before we dig down on to consider migration from Jira to ZenTao, let’s start with the basics, for business positions, who might be new to this. We’ll briefly introduce you to Jira, it’s the most popular alternative — ZenTao, and then touch base on the most common reasons, why businesses decided to move from Jira to ZenTao.

The previous article shared all cutting-edge knowledge and technologies such as DevOps, automated testing, and new technology trends. Only a few developers and testers can fully master these new technologies. After all, most of them are still focusing on their work. There is less time for upgrading and learning new technologies, and many recent trends have not yet been maturely applied to the industry. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this. There is always some constant in the rapid change. The ability to stick to those foundations, and embrace change with a positive attitude, is a sustainable and stable growth path. This issue will share some principles that do not depend on new technologies but can be followed as programmers. You can choose and practice according to your situation.

People are determined to implement DevOps in their environment and expect more significant benefits from it. DevOps can indeed make the journey of software development fast, but in this article, we will show the other side of DevOps, that is, DevOps is regarded as a philosophy. The fact is that relying on tools alone can't help achieve goals. There needs to be a change in mentality. DevOps is not entirely for faster software development and delivery. It promotes a collaborative environment in which software can be more efficient, fewer bugs, faster, and, more importantly, user-centered.

Automation testing has increasingly become the "trend" for testers because of its cost-saving advantages, improving efficiency, and reducing manual intervention. Practitioners increasingly clearly understand that realizing the automation framework is one of the critical factors to the success of software automation projects. This article will takeyou into the field of the automated testing framework, how the mechanical testing framework will give you a competitive advantage in the automated testing framework.

DevOps approach involves collaboration among customers, product management, developers, QA, and other roles to better products, services, and systems.

CI / CD are the two cornerstones of any DevOps operation. It is a way to develop software that aims to produce fast and powerful software and sustainably release updates at any time. When code is changed routinely, the development cycle becomes more frequent, meaningful, and faster. We can ensure that only known good code can become part of the software product through this process. Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment constitute the 3C of DevOps. This article will be elaborated on the following aspects: Traditional Integration, Continuous Integration and Process, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment, and 3C advantages.

In most cases, software application development has become time-consuming due to its standardization and complexity. To deliver high-quality applications in a short period of time, software developers are following a broad set of practices called the DevOps lifecycle.

In this article, we’ll explore the traditional project management and the agile project management approaches, their advantages, and the differences between them.

It is the general trend of the software industry to realize test automation as much as possible. In software testing, automation can significantly improve productivity, but only in some cases. In this article, we will introduce a method of test automation to identify its feasibility according to the context of the project. It's beneficial for testers to understand what automation is and when they can automate it. Testers should pay more attention to optimizing their work, whether working with other colleagues, developers, or trying automation tools themselves. We will introduce some important concepts when there is no experience in automation and evaluate their importance and advantages over manual testing.
