What Software Testing Has Become!

Testing Has Become

We live in a magical time of innovation and our world along with our surroundings changes dramatically fast. The interesting part is that we do not realize any changes if we are constantly located in the environment they take place. Let’s look at the software testing industry. So much has changed over past few years, and yet you still believe things are very much the same as they were yesterday, and they will remain still tomorrow.

But let’s face it: when was the last time you were dealing with the Waterfall Model for as much as you get to work in agile environments? You still may be astonishing with both and even more, but you never use some of your skills now, nor should you return to them. The industry has changed and today new practices, methodologies, tools and skills are accepted industry standards.

Let’s finally brace some facts!

Agile is indeed the new flow of QA, and software development in general. It’s just common and standard today. QA is finally fully integrated inside every aspect of software development (in best case scenarios).
However we have shorter periods of time for testing, as all QA is done within 1-3 week sprints, and along with development. Short time periods especially affect regression testing, thus making regression sessions something you must plan carefully in order to succeed.
We try being Google. We test software like Google would do so. That is also a standard now, a bit less highlighted though. After Google book on software testing was released everybody lost their minds in a good way and businesses started updating their QA to the high standards of Google. What can I say? This really works!
Automation, automation and once more – automation. It’s like we are in a race with time or something. Surely automation reduces overall costs required for testing, but is it not too much now, maybe? Especially with the fact automation tools are free today (some of them).

I remain amazed with the fact changes that are that big mostly remain unnoticed in the overall picture. It’s not that you randomly start using agile without knowing it, no. You just don’t realize how big a change is, until it dominates everything. Surprisingly we have encountered numerous businesses that tend to resist these changed, and we would like to warn you: such an approach did not work well.

Having one outside team deal with every aspect of quality assurance on your software project saves you time and money on creating an in-house QA department. We have dedicated testing engineers with years of experience, and here is what they can help you with.

Software is everywhere around us, and it’s essential for your testing team to be familiar with all the various types and platforms software can come with. In 21+ years, our QA team has tested every type of software there is, and here are some of their specialties.

There are dozens of different types of testing, but it takes a team of experts to know which ones are relevant to your software project and how to include them in the testing strategy the right way. These are just some of the testing types our QA engineers excel in.

The success of a software project depends, among other things, on whether it’s the right fit for the industry it’s in. And that is true not just for the development stage, but also for QA. Different industry have different software requirements, and our team knows all about them.
