There are well over 100 different types of software testing processes that occur within the software development lifecycle.

Each one ensures the quality of your product fulfills users’ expectations and outshines your competitors.

However, an inefficient test strategy can result in costly delays or cause new problems in your development. Therefore, it’s important to know what types of software tests are suitable for your project and the stage of development it is in.

Why Do We Need to Test Software?

On December 14, 2020, Google experienced a widespread outage that affected several of its services, including Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, and Google Docs. The outage lasted about an hour, and users worldwide reported issues accessing and using these services.

The culprit of this catastrophic outage? A software error that resulted in a storage deficit which directly impacted the company’s authentication tools. This case shows that even massive tech companies such as Google will deal with software failures, proving that whether you’re a mom-and-pop shop or an […]

On average, businesses in the tech industry spend nearly a quarter of their IT budget on quality assurance and testing. But this is low compared to a few years ago when tech companies spent nearly a third.

The reason for the drop? Cost.

Unfortunately, saving money upfront tends to cost companies more in the long run: Customers are less tolerant to slow apps, data insecurity, software errors, and overall bad customer experience (CX). And gaining that trust back can be costly.

Without proper quality control, there’s no way to guarantee a successful product, happy customers, and fewer bugs. That’s why performing quality […]

Software Requirements – The Missing Link?

Whether you are working in a traditional or Agile manner; developing a small software system or a multi-year effort with a large budget, all software projects begin with software requirements.  Specifying software requirements not only provides a framework for the design but is the most valuable documentation produced during the lifetime of the project.  Even in Agile projects, well-written story requirements promote collaboration and accuracy across all stakeholders including development, testing, and product management.

Why focus on Software Requirements?
