Key Points
Biology has evolved as a field of science since it was first studied in ancient civilizations, although modern biology is a relatively recent field.
Science is a process that requires the testing of ideas using evidence gathered from the natural world. Science is iterative in nature and involves critical thinking, careful data collection, rigorous peer review, and the communication of results.
Science also refers to the body of knowledge produced by scientific investigation.
Pseudoscience is a belief presented as scientific although it is not a product of scientific investigation

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.

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).
