These days, speed is everything in software development. As companies try to keep up with the rush to create new software features and test code, they rely on technology advances to meet tight release schedules (without sacrificing quality). Software testing technology in particular has solved many quality assurance challenges and allowed businesses to focus on developing applications that delight their customers.
Should you build an in-house QA team, or should you rely on software testing companies? The conversation around insourcing versus outsourcing looks very different for quality assurance than for other teams like engineering or product management. These teams offer very clear ROI from insourcing unless we’re talking about some side project that keeps getting deprioritized in the backlog, like a new API.
Testing web applications comes with many challenges like covering the entire platform, testing with real devices, and protecting data security. B2B customers have high expectations for the web apps they use. They rely on them for their day-to-day jobs or small business functions. The failure of a consumer app can be frustrating.
Not many areas feature as much innovation as the area of app development. Recently we explored various mobile app trends from social media to virtual experiences. App development has become more innovative over time—and we have effective technologies and platforms helping us develop, test, and release successful applications. Most companies think of creating a B2B native app without considering other options available – namely, the web app.
Real device testing is a critical ongoing requirement for providing a quality experience in a mobile app. But it’s hard to do well, as there are thousands of devices your users might own. In fact, there are well over 24,000 Android devices, and while iOS devices remain popular in the US, globally Android makes up 73% of the device market share. This means that Android devices can’t be glossed over. But, testing thousands of different devices isn’t possible or even necessary.
Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying a software program or application —with the intent of preventing software defects, reducing development costs, improving performance, and delivering a superior product. To ensure adequate product coverage and keep testing in line with project objectives, it’s imperative to have a sound test plan.
Third Consecutive Quarter as Leader in Two Categories February 23, 2021. Austin, TX and Tallinn, Estonia. Testlio, the originator of networked testing, today announced that it has been twice recognized as a High Performer within the Winter 2021 G2 Grid ®. The two categories are the best Crowdsourced Testing Software and the best Software Testing Tools.
Getting quality bugs is only half the QA battle—you need issue reports showing actual testing session insights that could negatively impact your users. And if you have skilled manual testers to help you find these bugs, the next problem becomes…how do you fix them? For that, you need contextual information about the steps and environmental conditions leading up to the bug.
Dear Testlio Clients, 2020 was a year of abundant challenges. Health, political, economic, social, data, and other issues rippled through news headlines. Moreso, many of us—across organizations and nations—felt the burden of the year. We carried it on our shoulders and in our hearts. Yet, amid challenges, we found hope. We summoned resiliency. We designed new, innovative approaches. And we came together. For one another. In countless ways.
With product analytics, you collect data about how your users are interacting with features and how frequently they use your app. With website analytics, you know your top pages, devices, and locations, and you can drill down into activity per visitor. But what about manual app testing analytics?
