Software Testing

Team dynamics plays a major role in software testing. It is essential to create an environment and culture where testers and developers collaborate, share knowledge and lean on each other. Teams that understand the product and share knowledge produce better test outcomes.

Setting up test environments and test data that represent production environments is still a major hurdle for many organizations. Data Security and Privacy standards impose restrictions on the data that can be imported in to lower environments. Inconsistent test environments and delays in provisioning environments impact both test quality and delivery timelines/cost. Cloud technologies have made provisioning test environments faster and affordable. Faster provisioning reduce turn around times and improve overall delivery timelines. Self-service provisioning can further reduce the turn around times. However these virtual environments need proper management and up keep to produce consistent test outcomes. Without proper scheduling of testing resources, cost benefits from the Cloud environments quickly diminish.

Test automation can improve delivery times and overall test coverage. Cost benefits with test automation are well known. However careful analysis and planning is necessary to take full advantage of cost benefits. Skilled and experienced test engineers are essential to develop and maintain automation test scripts.

Agile testing enables faster delivery and higher quality product. It enables better collaboration among the team. Features are tested as they are being developed which enables continuous feedback. With Agile testing, teams are flexible and responsive to change. There is a regular interactions between the business and the developers.

Stability and responsiveness of the application is key to enable consistent user experience under high loads. It is crucial to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks as part of software development process. With the popularity of multi-tenant architecture, performance testing is getting more attention. Selecting proper tool is one of the key considerations for performance testing. Test environments and test data setup must be planned carefully to produce realistic loads. This requires knowledge of application architecture and how the application is used in the real world. Monitoring various components of the applications is essential to understand resource usage and identify performance bottlenecks. We have over two decades of experience in software testing. We can help deliver the quality that the customers demand.
