It is like diving in the ocean but here I will give you the Software testing aspects with real time examples of Liferay Portal in details.

Yes, you read it correctly, you can do testing for the Liferay applications. Testing is an essential asset to master for anyone aspiring to work in software development. Yet, none of the contents on the internet properly introduce beginners to it.

It’s time for a change.

In this Series of blogs, I will emphasize on the importance of software testing, its reasons, types, why and when to perform which testing. Then I will illustrate my point with real-life, concrete and beginner-friendly examples.

Here is a preview of upcoming articles:
