QA and Testing

“Infosubway: Hunting Bugs To Assure Complete Customer Satisfaction.”

Quality software products require less advertising and smaller marketing efforts. Quality products speak for themselves and become their own brand ambassadors. You can gain significant savings on after sales service expenses if you take little extra pain during the quality assurance and testing periods.

Quality Assurance (QA) is a mix of all the kinds of activities carried out for implementing processes, performing procedures and following set standards, in order to verify that the developed software matches the intended specific requirements. Testing, on the other hand, usually includes a set of activities that are performed to identify bugs, errors or defects present in the software.

QA centres on the essential processes and procedures only, while the testing phase focuses on performing the actual testing. QA can be considered a part of the Software Test Life Cycle (STLC) while testing is a part of quality control.

WHY QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TESTING ARE NECESSARY FOR YOUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS?

Catching and fixing bugs in the early stages of software development costs way less than fixing them during the later stages. Imagine you have designed a banking and financial app offering low interest personal and business loans. Your end-user has downloaded it and is trying to “Sign Up”, but receives an “Error” while doing so. After facing numerous sign in failures, the user uninstalls your app and moves on to find some other similar app. The same occurs with other users as well. This situation incurs a loss to your business because of some bug in the app which is not allowing users to sign in.

Investing in QA and testing keeps the product quality on par with the specific product requirements. Unwanted deviations can occur during the software development stages, often with unintended results, but QA and testing can help identify these so you can keep them in check and out of any releases.

Businesses try everything to gain the trust of customers. Markets today get saturated very fast and customer loyalty is hard to win. To be in with a chance, you must provide your customers with quality products that keep them engaged and satisfied. This can be predictably achieved by employing sufficient QA and testing at the appropriate times.

There are many instances where criminals and hackers have gained unauthorised access into software products to steal valuable end-user data. Such breaches not only create serious security issues for the end-user, but also seriously damage the reputation of your business and spoil your brand name. Nowadays, information regarding such breaches quickly goes viral as such breaches are reported on a variety of platforms almost instantaneously.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES INFOSUBWAY OFFER FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TESTING?

  • Functional Testing: Every small feature of the software under consideration is thoroughly validated and verified to ensure that it’s bug free in every respect.
  • Regression Testing: When new code is patched onto the already released software, it is more likely than not that bugs will emerge and cause trouble. Through this testing process we ensure that these bugs do not reach release, and end users can use the new features without any problems.
  • Performance Testing: Here, the software is tested by simulating the actual user environment. Full load and complete stress conditions are applied by inputting varied queries after creating a number of users. This results in the identification of any latency in meeting the user requirements. Necessary changes are suggested which can remove discrepancies and enable the software to perform well.
  • Configuration Testing: Here, we ensure that changes in the configuration do not create any issues in the software’s performance.
  • Isolation Testing: Using this testing we minutely isolate the code, to ensure that no bug is left hidden in the software.
  • Browser Testing: We make sure that your application works properly with every available browser.
  • Integrated System Testing: The software under consideration is tested to check that it works properly on systems that have other devices and applications attached to them. This is done to identify any anomalies that may show up in the software.
  • Database and Platform Testing: Here, the software is tested to check its integrity with the available database management systems and several platforms on which it can be possibly run after its release.
  • Component, Unit and API Testing: Individual classes of a program are tested to ensure that the program is running as intended. Also, the testing is carried out without involving any third-party services.
  • Globalisation Testing: Software is tested to ensure that it will perform well in geographical locations other than its source geographical location.
