Postman is a cutting-edge Automation tool, which can be used for API testing, Automated Unit testing, and Integrated testing. The automation uses inherent functions provided inside Postman as well as allows usage of external JS library. Through Postman Runner functionality this feature can be used. This functionality allows us to create a Postman collection of any number of APIs which helps the Testing team to achieve faster and more efficient test results. The Postman Automation is pretty simple, due to the various inherent functionalities.

WHAT IS MIS? | MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Management Information Systems (MIS) is the study of people, technology, organizations, and the relationships among them. MIS professionals help firms realize maximum benefit from investment in personnel, equipment, and business processes. MIS is a people-oriented field with an emphasis on service through technology. If you have an interest in technology and have the desire to use technology to improve people’s lives, a degree in MIS may be for you.

MIS PROFESSIONALS MAKE BUSINESS BETTER
Businesses use information systems at all levels of operation to collect, process, and store data. Management aggregates and disseminates this data in the form of information needed to carry out the daily operations of business. Everyone who works in business, from someone who pays the bills to the person who makes employment decisions, uses information systems. A car dealership could use a computer database to keep track of which products sell best. A retail store might use a computer-based information system to sell products over the Internet. In fact, many (if not most) businesses concentrate on the alignment of MIS with business goals to achieve competitive advantage over other businesses.

MIS professionals create information systems for data management (i.e., storing, searching, and analyzing data). In addition, they manage various information systems to meet the needs of managers, staff and customers. By working collaboratively with various members of their work group, as well as with their customers and clients, MIS professionals are able to play a key role in areas such as information security, integration, and exchange. As an MIS major, you will learn to design, implement, and use business information systems in innovative ways to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your company.

MORE THAN CODING
A common misconception is that MIS only concerns coding (or writing computer code). While coding concepts represent some of the fundamental principles of information systems development, implementation, and use, many jobs in MIS do not utilize coding at all. A large portion of the MIS degree focuses on data analysis, teamwork, leadership, project management, customer service, and underlying business theories. These aspects of the degree are what set the MIS professional apart from a computer science specialist.

Do you enjoy working with people?
Would you enjoy the chance to work on global problems with people from all over the world?
Do you enjoy analyzing and solving problems?
Do you want to create innovative, cutting-edge technology solutions?
Do you want to learn how to make businesses more efficient, effective and competitive?
Then you should consider as your major the field that is experiencing a critical shortage of professionally trained individuals. A field where demand is skyrocketing with projected growth rates of 38 percent – the fastest of any business discipline (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Software testing is the process of finding errors in the developed product. It also checks whether the real outcomes can match expected results, as well as aids in the identification of defects, missing requirements, or gaps.

Testing is the penultimate step before the launch of the product to the market. It includes examination, analysis, observation, and evaluation of different aspects of a product.

Professional software testers use a combination of manual testing with automated tools. After conducting tests, the testers report the results to the development team. The end goal is to deliver a quality product to the customer, which is why software testing is so important.

It’s common for many startups to skip testing. They might say that their budget is the reason why they overlook such an important step. They think it would lead to no major consequences. But to make a strong and positive first impression, it needs to be top-notch. And for that, testing the product for bugs is a must.

To really understand why software testing is important, we need to correlate it with real world examples, which has caused serious issues in the past, a few examples include:

In October 2014, Flipkart an e-commerce in India company had an offer called the “Big Billion Sale.” When it was launched it had a lot of traffic and as a result, its website couldn’t handle the enormous load of traffic leading to the website downtime, cancellation of orders etc. The reputation of the organization was badly impacted by this issue.
In 2015, the Royal Bank of Scotland, due to a bug, couldn’t process about 600,000 payments. Because of this, they were fined 66 million pounds
Yahoo in September 2016, had a major data breach where 500 million users’ credentials got compromised.

Recently, Okta, an American authentication firm, had a digital breach due to a software bug that may have affected their user’s details. This has also affected the reputation of Okta.
Similarly, established organizations need to maintain their client base and their impression. So they have to ensure the delivery of flawless products to the end-user. Let’s take a look at some points and see why software testing is vital to good software development.

Cypress is an open-source and free test automation tool, which can be used extensively in the long run. It is mainly used for front end test automation. This tool is mainly developed to solve the issues that the teams face, while automating an application.

Cypress helps to achieve the following −

Configure tests.

Configure tests.

Execute tests.

Identify errors (if any).

Selenium and Cypress are often compared in terms of their functionalities. However, Cypress is different in architecture and features. Moreover, it resolves some of the issues we face in Selenium.

Cypress is based on Javascript and executes tests within the browser. It helps to develop the tests which include −

Unit tests.

End to end tests.

Integration tests.

Features
The important features of Cypress are listed below −

Supports Test-Driven development.

Provides Dashboard services.

Efficient debugging with Developer Tools accompanied with generation of stack trace and errors.

Provides the screenshots for failed tests.

Not necessary to add waits to stop the execution for some time. By-default, the waits are applied, prior to executing the following step or assertion.

Able to monitor and control the characteristics of server response, functions, and timers, which are essentially needed for unit testing.

Check and manage network traffic.

Allows the multi-browser support.

In-built feature to capture videos of execution is available.

Can be integrated with continuous integration tools.

Page responsiveness with viewport sizing.

Reloads changes applied to tests by default.

Friendly Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are available.

Test runner available, which allows the test execution straight from the User Interface (UI).
