Problems that arise with certain software, especially with those that operate with sensitive data, can lead to communication breakdowns, massive blackouts and data leaks. Testing and QA makes sure there is no room for errors.

UX ensures the delivery of flawless software: simple, easy to use, intuitive, free of errors and efficient. A detailed testing process will guarantee customers are presented with a valuable, reliable and highly-interactive end-product.

Prevention is key and early detection of bugs and issues avoids great costs further along the line. It is much more expensive to fix problems when the development process is advanced, or even worse if the product is finished.

Continuous testing maintains and upholds software security, eliminating weaker pieces of code and errors. Reliable and trustworthy products should always be a priority.

Unit testing refers to developer level testing and it occurs prior to further processes that are carried out by other testing teams. It is an essential step as it ensures code functionality. It can be carried out manually, but automating this process provides a more efficient environment.

Units have to be tested integrating them into larger modules and groups that carry out designated tasks, making sure they do so accordingly. These tests are often performed in user scenarios, and they can be done by both developers and independent testers.

System testing involves evaluating the system as a whole, guaranteeing it works in compliance with its requirements. This task includes end-to-end functionality testing and is carried out by a specialized team before it goes live.

This method assesses an application’s user experience from a consumer’s point of view in order to maximize its performance. Usability testing is a way to see how easy to use something is by testing it with real users.

Crucial in today’s high-risk environment, these processes actively look for possible issues, errors and glitches that could eventually prove to be harmful, safeguarding your final product.

These techniques ensure software is correctly supported across different platforms, operating systems and environments, guaranteeing compatibility.

This includes various testing techniques to evaluate responsiveness and system behavior such as Load testing: Evaluates if the system can manage what it’s required to do. Stress testing: Focuses on discovering your software’s failure points.

This is the last stage of functional testing performed to double-check that the final product is in accordance with pre-established criteria and client expectations. QA testers are major players at this stage, but it is also crucial to involve end-users in order to obtain valuable feedback, crucial to delivering a satisfactory product.
