In two recent blog posts from the CrowdStrike Software Development Engineers in Test (SDET) team, we explored how end-to-end validation testing and modular testing design could increase the speed and accuracy of the testing lifecycle. In this latest post, we conclude our SDET series with a deep dive on how our generalized validation testing component improves efficiency, … [Read more...] about How a Generalized Validation Testing Approach Improves Efficiency

How a Modular Testing Model Increases Efficiency and Scalability
In our last post, Testing Data Flows using Python and Remote Functions, we discussed how organizations can use remote functions in Python to create an end-to-end testing and validation strategy. Here we build on that concept and discuss how it is possible to design the code to be more flexible. For our purposes, flexible code means two things: Writing the code in such a way … [Read more...] about How a Modular Testing Model Increases Efficiency and Scalability
Cisco Advances Communications Security with Completion of Automated Cryptographic Validation Protocol Testing
Today’s digital economy relies on secure communications in both our personal and business activities. We expect that when private data is transmitted over the internet, or other communications channels, it will be protected against tampering and prying eyes. The integrity and confidentiality of information is typically achieved using cryptography, mathematically based methods … [Read more...] about Cisco Advances Communications Security with Completion of Automated Cryptographic Validation Protocol Testing
When Time is of the Essence – Testing Controls Against the Latest Threats Faster
A new threat has hit head the headlines (Robinhood anyone?), and you need to know if you're protected right now. What do you do? Traditionally, you would have to go with one of the options below.Option 1 – Manually check that IoCs have been updated across your security controls. This would require checking that security controls such as your email gateway, web gateway, and … [Read more...] about When Time is of the Essence – Testing Controls Against the Latest Threats Faster
Robotic testing finds touchscreen inaccuracies at edge of iPhone display
A study by OptoFidelity has found a significant lack of touch screen accuracy with Apple's iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c displays. The company used its Touch Panel Performance Test to compare the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphones. OptoFidelity Touch & Test is a test platform for touch device testing. PDT stands for panel performance device level testing. … [Read more...] about Robotic testing finds touchscreen inaccuracies at edge of iPhone display
Apple Reportedly Tested 64-Bit A7 Processor for the iPhone 5S
Apple has reportedly tested a 64-bit A7 processor for the new iPhone 5S. Transitioning to a 64-bit processor would make animations, transparencies, and other graphical effects appear smoother. Unfortunately, it's unclear if the 64-bit processor made the cut. The report also notes that Clayton Morris has made several claims on Twitter indicating that the iPhone 5S processor … [Read more...] about Apple Reportedly Tested 64-Bit A7 Processor for the iPhone 5S
Pegatron employee spies a pile of iPhone 5Cs, all warming up for September
A leaked photo which shows a pile of iPhone 5C units being tested may have actually come from within Pegatron. The photo was initially dismissed as potentially depicting knockoffs; however, Engadget has done some digging and they believe the photo to be authentic. … [Read more...] about Pegatron employee spies a pile of iPhone 5Cs, all warming up for September
