Importance of Software Testing

A digital transformation process implies the implementation of newest technologies, upgrading of infrastructure, and the use of new software. This is where the primary concern arises: are these technologies and software of the highest quality possible? After all, any faulty software can adversely impact any company’s performance and reputation. Therefore, software testing should play a key role in the transformation process.

Quality Assurance and Software Testing are indispensable to ensure that all potential defects are rectified, and the software is of high quality and “polished”.

Independent Testing

To guarantee that software runs smoothly and that it is reliable and usable it needs to be comprehensively and thoroughly tested by a certified and expert software test engineers. The best option is to engage an independent and unbiased testing team in fulfilling this task.

  • Independent testers are unbiased (in contrast to testers working within a programming team or programmers themselves) and report to a separate organization;
  • Independent testers discover defects and failures more effectively offering a different perspective and making alternative assumptions about testing and reviews;
  • Independent testers often have deep understandingand expertise in a specific product-related industry.

Iterative Testing Approach

The specificity of Iterative Test Methodology we use is that testing of software is done in iterations throughout the SDLC, whereas under a traditional test methodology testing is a separate process taking place only after the development phase (see Picture 1).

Picture 1. Iterative vs Traditional approach to testing

Benefits our Team gets:

  • The Team starts working early in the SDLC and has enough time for planning and preparation;
  • Each iteration takes into account the problems detected previously;
  • Early detection of architecture problems;
  • Timely detection and resolution of defects.

Benefits our Clients get:

  • High-quality, improved reliability, and usability of the end product;
  • Up to 40% budget savings and 45% time savings (as less time is required to implement the project);
  • Regular feedback on the progress of testing performed;
  • Accurate estimation of the product.

Full Cycle Testing

Our Testing Team provides a Full Cycle Testing under which it performs: \

  • Analysis of technical documents;
  • Planning and assessment;
  • Development of testing documents;
  • Test performance;
  • Result provision;
  • Support at the product release stage;
  • Operation and maintenance.

Types of Testing

Depending on your specific needs and requirements, our testers will perform one to several types of testing, not limited to the following: 

Functional Testing to make sure that your software does all it is meant to
Performance Testing to make sure that your software is responsive and stable under a particular workload
Usability Testing to ensure that the product is convenient, understandable, and easy to use
Automated Testing to streamline some repetitive but necessary testing tasks, save time and labor costs
Mobile App Testing to check the functionality, usability, and consistency of applications working on various mobile devices
Security Testing to determine if the software protects data and maintains functionality as intended
Localization Testing to evaluate the compliance of software with the target market from a linguistic and cultural standpoint
Regression Testing to verify that previously developed and tested software still performs correctly after it was changed
IoT Testing to make sure that IoT devices are secure, reliable, usable, compatible, and conform to standards
