While we have our jobs, careers propel us forward in our professional journey. A career provides us with the sense of purpose and belonging that we derive from the work we do. According to Harvard Business review, the degree of meaning and purpose you derive from work may be the biggest difference between a job and a career when employees feel that they belong to a team or organization — in the sense that it aligns with their values, and enables them to express important aspects of their identity — they will not only tend to perform better, but also experience higher levels of engagement and w ..read more

As we are near the end of 2023, pursuing optimal tech solutions remains as crucial as ever.

What is your vision for the Quality Assurance (QA) field, let us say, a decade down? Well, for the first time ever, end-user experience is identified as the primary goal of QA and software testing strategy in the World Quality Report (WQR) 2018–2023. Software testing engineers used to scrawl lines of code, but the beginning of automation testing gave them a shocking sense of ease. Quality assurance, or QA, is essential to developing software applications. It is a tedious task to run quality testing on software applications. By 2019 or 2020, QA had developed numerous new add-ons to keep pace wi ..read more

From planning travel itineraries to writing poetry, and even getting a research thesis generated, ChatGPT and its ‘brethren’ generative AI tools such as Sydney and Bard have been much in the news. Even generating new images and audio has become possible using this form of AI. McKinsey seems excited about this technology and believes it can provide businesses with a competitive advantage by enabling the design and development of new products and business process optimizations. ChatGPT and similar tools are powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI), which facilitates the virtual creatio ..read more

Introduction Running applications in a Kubernetes cluster has many advantages, including scalability, flexibility, and ease of management. However, to make our applications highly available and resilient, we often need a load balancer to distribute the incoming traffic across multiple pods or nodes. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) service, which can be integrated with our Kubernetes cluster to achieve this. This blog post will explore how to manage ELB for a Kubernetes cluster using the AWS Load Balancer Controller. What is the AWS Load Balancer Controller? The ..read more

Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) can help with the faster, well-informed strategic decision-making process by assessing data, recognizing patterns and variables in complex circumstances, and recommending optimal solutions. The purpose of AI in decision-making is not complete automation. Rather, the goal is to help us make quicker and better decisions through streamlined processes and effective use of data. In a QA cycle, we capture various metrics to gauge the testing we have done against the baseline values according to industry standards. In this article, we are using an AI model ..read more
