QA Testing and It's Important

Why QA testing important Today?

Software Testing has become more important nowadays due to products being released every day. We need assurance that the software is stable enough and has no fault because if your project has fault therefore you will not be able to show your project to the world.

The Benefits of Software testing

Happier Clients and Customers

As you well know, the sale of a product does not actually end with the sale. The client can ask for a refund if he or she is unhappy with the product. In addition, if the product is not reliable, you will have to spend money fixing or replacing it. When you add the costs, the bottom line is that it pays to produce a higher quality product, and software testing done right is the only way in which you can guarantee that what you’re offering is valuable and reliable to the customer

Improve User Experience

Whether the software is used internally or sold to clients, it must be easy to use and understand. Only testers with experience can make sure that the software is designed in a way that allows users to follow a logical and intuitive path. Improved user experience also means that the software should be free of bugs and errors, which can be a source of frustration and inconvenience for users.

Choosing a professional software testing service, with a team that has the experience and know-how to produce the best possible quality for you, is guaranteed to significantly improve user experience and, as a result, to result in more satisfied clients.

Accurate Information

With QA testing you can get an accurate information of your project where does the project need improving and where does the project need more development plus its complete the software development lifecycle.

Increased Sales

With Software testing we can get more sales and more referrals from the previous clients through that we can get more trusting clients and customers who believe in our work. That way we can generate profits for the company/ business

The Methods used for Software testing

The Methods called methodology for testing a piece of software

Unit Testing

Unit testing is the first level of testing and is often performed by the developers themselves. It is the process of ensuring individual components of a piece of software at the code level are functional and work as they were designed to. Developers in a test-driven environment will typically write and run the tests prior to the software or feature being passed over to the test team. Unit testing can be conducted manually but automating the process will speed up delivery cycles and expand test coverage. Unit testing will also make debugging easier because finding issues earlier means they take less time to fix than if they were discovered later in the testing process.

Performance testing

Performance testing is a non-functional testing technique used to determine how an application will behave under various conditions. The goal is to test its responsiveness and stability in real user situations. Performance testing can be broken down into four types:

Load testing is the process of putting increasing amounts of simulated demand on your software, application, or website to verify whether it can handle what it’s designed to handle.

Endurance testing, also known as soak testing, is used to analyse the behaviour of an application under a specific amount of simulated load over longer amounts of time. The goal is to understand how your system will behave under sustained use, making it a longer process than load or stress testing (which are designed to end after a few hours). A critical piece of endurance testing is that it helps uncover memory leaks.

Spike testing is a type of load test used to determine how your software will respond to substantially larger bursts of concurrent user or system activity over varying amounts of time. Ideally, this will help you understand what will happen when the load is suddenly and drastically increased.

Usability Testing

Usability testing is a testing method that measures an application’s ease-of-use from the end-user perspective and is often performed during the system or acceptance testing stages. The goal is to determine whether the visible design and aesthetics of an application meet the intended workflow for various processes, such as logging into an application. Usability testing is a great way for teams to review separate functions, or the system, is intuitive to use.

Security Testing

With the rise of cloud-based testing platforms and cyber-attacks, there is a growing concern and need for the security of data being used and stored in software. Security testing is a non-functional software testing technique used to determine if the information and data in a system is protected. The goal is to purposefully find loopholes and security risks in the system that could result in unauthorized access to or the loss of information by probing the application for weaknesses. There are multiple types of this testing method, each of which aimed at verifying six basic principles of security.

The Tools for Software testing

Selenium

Selenium is a testing framework to perform web application testing across various browsers and platforms like Windows, Mac, and Linux. Selenium helps the testers to write tests in various programming languages like Java, PHP, C#, Python, Groovy, Ruby, and Perl. It offers record and playback features to write tests without learning Selenium IDE.

Selenium proudly supports some of the largest, yet well-known browser vendors who make sure they have Selenium as a native part of their browser. Selenium is undoubtedly the base for most of the other software testing tools in general.
