  • (1888PressRelease) November 22, 2017 - In the product development cycle, software testing has a vital role that is often overlooked. When performed early on, it will not only help eliminate errors before the project is released but ensure a more positive user experience. Keep in mind that when it’s left up to the users to find errors, the reputation of the application and the company will suffer.

    Most companies only apply one or two methods of testing, and usually save that for the final stages of development without realizing that earlier and more rigorous testing provides the very best results. Just because a group is extremely skilled at product creation does not mean they have the skills needed for thorough testing, which is why many large companies and startups have started outsourcing QA. When testing is outsourced to a team that specializes in it, the product won’t be riddled with errors when it is released.

    However, failure to pursue aggressive testing early on means that users are going to discover the errors and bugs. This results in a very negative user experience, a poor reputation of the app, and a loss of confidence in the company that produced it.

    Companies like QAwerk, a Ukranian outsourcing, specialize in software testing for leading companies across the globe. Their commitment to software testing and the constant development of the new methods has lead them to begin an internal project they call the Bug Crawl. What the Bug Crawl does? It runs weekly tests of random applications and generates exhaustive reports on any errors found.

    The results so far have been very interesting. Through the Bug Crawl, QAwerk has already tested over one hundred apps for Android and iOS. They have found more than 250 serious errors in popular apps such as ChatAll (which provides translations of conversations side-by-side), VizEAt (a social dining platform), and 360 Weather. Some of the most common issues QAwerk has discovered include sudden app crashes, grammatical errors, and the ability to leave important fields blank on forms. Such issues, while they may seem minor, can frustrate the user and cause them to perceive the app in a very negative way regardless of how useful it may be.

    The best approach to developing an application in today’s market means providing in-depth testing in-house or entrusting an outsourcing company that has a full-scale QA process. Not only will this result in savings in both money and time, but it will help in development as the products can be seen from another viewpoint. The result is an application that enters the market truly ready-to-use.
