Time to market, disruptive platforms and market demands are inspiring vendors to consistently launch new products and functionalities to meet market needs. On the other hand, open source and commercial software have become highly vulnerable to security threats. Such scenarios make a compelling case to engage an independent software testing company early on.
- Defects are detected quite early in the development cycle
- Enhanced productivity, reuse, faster return on investment
- Well defined processes that are cost effective and reliable
- Statistical techniques for predicting defects
- Web Applications, simulating thousands of geographically targeted users
- Load scenarios created based on need
- Runs performed with gradually increasing loads
- Bottlenecks in application, database, infrastructure, and code limitations identified
- Test reports prepared based on needs
- Manual testing reduced, regression testing accelerated
- Risks due to human error eliminated
- Test coverage improved to offer better quality
Under this type of independent software testing, the following steps are followed:
- Characteristics of the product and application are studiedTest scope and priorities are studied
- Test process and COMMUNICATION mechanism defined
- Types of testing needed are defined
- Test tools chosen
- Test techniques are identified and test automation plan prepared
- Detailed test plan prepared
