Great software engineers are expensive, in-demand, and incredibly hard to find. Building an engineering team is a heroic feat – but stop asking them to moonlight as testers and build a QA team instead. Trying to offload QA duties onto your engineers is not as effective as you might hope. Unhappy developers lead to high turnover, slower release time, and an expensive talent search. Take it from the experts; build a QA team if you want high-quality products and releases.

Dev teams are stacked against an incredibly high bar of software quality, consistent end-UX, and tight release windows. While manual testing remains a cornerstone of quality, leveraging test automation enables enterprises to scale testing and meet demands for coverage and capacity. Low-code test automation provides a great place to start; it circumvents current challenges in talent pools, increases coverage, and iterates quickly.

Fused testing and stellar service drive another quarter of positive client ratings across categories August 15, 2022 — Testlio, the originator of networked testing, is now an Automation Testing Leader in the Summer 2022 Grid® Report — a first for the company, which was founded to evolve crowdtesting and provide better support and opportunities for manual testers.

Modern engineering and product teams must meet an increasingly high bar for quality and speed. While QA automation is marketed as a quick way to increase cadence to meet consumer demands, fusing manual and automated strategies creates a more effective, failsafe approach. Automated testing ensures consistency and immediate test execution, while manual testing offers flexibility and actionable insights.

Modern engineering and product teams feel the pressure to accelerate the feedback loop to developers, shorten release cycles, and deliver high-quality results quickly. For many, fusing manual strategies with automated software testing services is part of the solution to ensure consistency and immediate test execution. We agree!

Digital therapeutics (DTx) companies provide software-backed therapeutic interventions to help prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease. For example, health tech unicorn Hinge Health partners advanced wearable sensors, mobile applications, and a clinical care team to enable digital physical therapy for elective musculoskeletal (MSK) surgeries, driving lower costs and a reduction in medical claims.

As the rapid digitization of healthcare grows, telehealth apps face a unique challenge in delivering continuous care on familiar devices. The demand for telehealth apps only compounds the need for healthcare software testing to ensure a great user experience while scaling quickly and efficiently. Partnering with a crowdsourced testing vendor opens up immediate access to coverage for devices and locations, accelerated testing velocity, zero operational overhead, and increased ROI.

July 20, 2022 — Testlio, the originator of networked testing, has released a comprehensive report that identifies trends and benchmarks in medical and health app software testing. The report examines the release frequency, app store ratings, and testing device coverage practices of health, fitness, and medical apps.

Across nearly every industry, the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a period of immediate digital disruption. With lives at risk, the healthcare industry quickly innovated to provide fitness, wellness, and medical care on familiar devices. Now, two years after the pandemic’s start, medical apps face compounding pressures to match the speed and quality of consumer demands.
