What Is QA Testing?
QA testing is a type of software testing, meant to test your product late in the development cycle. Its basic goal is to test a product to make sure it’s released at the best possible quality.
QA testing usually employs a consistent set of standards and tools, meant to evaluate the design, functionality, and reliability of a given app. Tools and human testers work together to analyze performance benchmarks, find and document bugs, and identify areas for potential improvement. By this point, the app should be nearly ready for release—and QA testing serves as a form of polishing.
What to Look for in a QA Software Testing Provider
To find a good QA software testing partner, look for the following:
Your web application development company will help you achieve these goals.
Experience
How long has this company been QA testing? What kinds of clients have they had in the past? Do they specialize in testing a specific type of app, or are they a generalist?
Reputation
What kind of reputation does this QA provider have? Look at their online reviews and testimonials.
Documented standards
Good QA testing requires consistency and ongoing improvement. Accordingly, your QA testing provider should have documented testing standards in place.
Transparency
Your QA testing services provider should also be transparent. They should make it clear how they operate, and be willing to answer all your questions.
Automation and speed
Timing matters. Today’s best QA testers use a combination of automation and agile strategies to verify the quality of your app as quickly as possible.
