Independent QA Testing

Offshore Software Testing success relies on clear communication. Do you agree if yes Why?Tweet This

Yes, the success of offshore software testing relies on clear communication. Communication should be regular using a variety of methods such as emails, web meetings, video and teleconferencing. It becomes all the very important for an offshore team to provide the right information at the right time and also to commute that information properly by writing effective bug reports that have all the information needed by the developer related to that bug. It is also very important to establish some kind of bonds with the remote team members as any type of friendly, personal interaction or relationship between onshore and offshore teams goes a very long way in resolving potential tension.

Communication is a vital factor in Offshore Software Testing. Communication is absolutely necessary in Offshore Software Testing Success. The more clear communication the more is the impact on the developers to fix the issues. Moreover, clear communication makes it easy for the developers to drill down the issues and fix them accordingly. Clear communication saves precious time and no doubt improves relationship between the clients and vendors. For a successful Offshore Software testing it should be ensured that communication gap never arises. Although there are always challenges in effective communication like time zone differences, holidays customs but despite of the differences effective communication is always beneficial.

In software testing communication is very important and effective factor. Communication between developer, stake holder and tester is the key to the successful release of the software. All the three parties should be pretty clear in their communication so that they can understand the motive of each other categorically. In offshore testing case communication becomes more important as the tester has to explain their bug findings to the developer very clearly so that the developer can fix it without any hassle and confusing. Bug should be report to the developer by offshore testing team in a candid way and all steps should be clear to grasp the issue extensively. Also all the communication related to bugs should be clear between the concerned parties of the bug.

Independent Offshore Software Testing

Offshore Software Testing success relies on clear communication. Do you agree if yes Why?
Offshore software testing mainly refers to the concept of finding and managing a team of software testers in another country to meet their production and quality. A clear communication with offshore software testing company is most important as it provides SQA services with a system that scales up with the development team. By clear communication, a work which require more effort in finding solution , can be done effortlessly with little or no disruption in the current processes. Daily status report with detailed summary of the testing done with test priorities are the best means of communication from the Offshore Software Testing engineers.Queries sent by the testing engineers regarding any concern helps in the knowledge transfer.Thus, frequent and clear communication leads to success of Offshore Software Testing.

Based on your Expertise please share what will be the top Trends to drive market for Leading software testing Companies in 2012-13.

"According to me, top 5 Trends which will drive the market for software testing in 2012-13 are as follows:

1. Mobile/Smartphone Testing: Now-a-days, mobility is not just limited to receive/make calls on-the-go, but has transformed as an essential living style. Mobile/Smartphone testing assures the quality of mobile devices, like mobile phones, PDAs, etc. Now days, Smartphone’s are used by many persons to congregate their professional and personal necessities. Plethora of mobile handsets which execute millions of applications inbuilt. Today, some of the applications are using the power of cloud to communicate with the ERP systems.

2. Cloud Testing: It is a type of software testing which ensures the quality of the process through which the organizations can use applications on the internet without investing in new infrastructure and licensing new software. Cloud testing is a web based Website Testing Service that allow testers, website managers and developers to automate and speed up the testing of their websites using real browsers from the cloud. There are few initiatives taken to standardize the communication patterns and format of the data among the clouds.

3. Agile Testing:  This evolving methodology helps to release the product in the market ASAP by continuous releases of functional software (rapid agile sprint process).

4. Web Accessibility Testing: It is a division of usability testing where the targeted users have disabilities that involve how they use the application.

5. Independent Outsourced Testing: It provides a neutral and fresh approach which is essential for the market success of the software product.

6. Testing-as-a-Service:  There is an increasing demand and usage for Testing-as-a-Service

As an alternative for ‘avoidable’ infrastructure spend. TaaS is referred to as Cloud Testing or Managed Testing.

7. Business Intelligence Testing: Efficiency of business intelligence tool does not reside in its ability to judge the vast pool of the data. How effectively the business tool gives meaningful options to the user to search the key trends using the data and extract real time data is the most important indicator of the efficiency.

8. Testing catalyzed through test data generation and management:  At the time of testing any application, confidential/ disambiguation information of customers gets exposed to the testers.

Be it agile testing or testing in clouds and or applying your strength in automation or having mobile testing labs operational. All is so very demanding and coming up. The so evolving and developing application world makes point to have the best time to reach market and with best quality. So the testers are on toes to have the best approach forward.

Do you think that an independent software testing company is better placed? Please give your view to justify your answer.

Definitely, independently software testing company is better placed in many ways as they have separate testing teams for performance, functional, automation and manual, unit testing etc. Separate testers can perform testing well by using real time scenarios and do their task effectively and find more defects than any other company that deal with software development as well as testing. The best deal with the independent software testing is that it provides improved quality by having wide domain proficiency, management independence which in terms results in more focused testing. Independent verification and validation also provides closer customer perspective as it empowers more freedom to think. It also helps in reducing the cost significantly by optimal use of resources, leveraging the experts across multiple projects, providing ROI based automation, smartly handling the staffing needs.

Is a test strategy really becoming an obsolete artifact?

Is a test strategy really becoming an obsolete artifact?

Until a few years ago, I vividly remember a separate phase in the software test life cycle that used to be dedicated to the development of a master test plan or the so called holy test strategy which served as the guiding document outlining the software testing process specific to the product under test. It was usually drafted by the test director or the test manager and was representative of the test team’s intelligence in helping them making the product sign off call. Such was the importance of this document; it also served as a reusable artifact often carried across releases, products and teams. Given the relative stability in the development environment such cross sharing and reusability were feasible.

For Software Testing Frameworks:

Besides being able to fulfill the core objectives of having a framework driven automation methodology, one of our motives of developing this framework DIAT (Distributed Intelligent Automation Test Framework), was to bridge the gap between a manual tester and an automation engineer, when it comes to creating scripted tests. A tester who understands the system E2E and who brings in the critical end user mindset into the testing phase is herein empowered to take on the automation as well, thus helping enhance the reliability of test automation code.

Herein listed, are the salient features of DIAT, which help our testers delve into test automation with minimum ramp up and deliver high quality, reliable, maintainable test automation:

•Easy action based automation with keywords for user actions

•Excel based inputs, with a library containing action definitions, in the tool’s language

•Framework based on Selenium, FitNesse, Fitnium and extensible to SilkTest and SmarteSoft

•Tellurium leveraged to bring in UI modularity which eases automation maintenance even amidst changing UIs

•Domain specific actions let you write English like automation scripts

•Virtualization leveraged to test the product for compatibility on various platforms

•DIAT can also serve as a platform enabling testers to author tests, run them on various configurations and compile results


If you have any questions about this framework or would like to understand this in greater detail, please reach out to us at http://www.qainfotech.com/automation_framework_implementation.html

Role of Database in Software Testing : An Article by Knowledge Sharing Team

Role of Database in Software Testing : 

What is a database? All of us being in the software industry are aware of this but just to reiterate, it is basically an integrated collection of data and it’s an integral part of our application. All our application data is stored and fetched from a database. A tester’s job can become more interesting if testers have access to the database which plays an important role in SoftwareQuality Testing process and can increase enormously in a small window of QA testing time.

During my experience with an Independent Offshore software testing organization, I have had many opportunities to work on projects wherein our trusted clients had provided us database access. However, you cannot expect every client to lend you access to their databases; but this does not mean that we cannot perform quality testing without it. But, having the database access would surely widen the tester’s perspective and would be very certain while performing requirement based testing. Believe me; an easy access to a database makes the whole testing process easier and more importantly efficient. Let's see the following instance wherein database access plays a vital role in QA Testing phase and providing reliable software testing services.

Software Test Metrics: Empirical Approach towards Quality : Yet Another Article By Knowledge Sharing Team

Software Test Metrics: Empirical Approach towards Quality :

80% of average project costs indulge to fix challenges, bugs and other issues during the development of a project. No other business can afford this much failure in terms of budget and time. There can be many reasons for such failures; the focus of our discussion here is not to discuss the roots of such failures but how to improve effectiveness in terms of time and money. In agile methodology, transparency is a big challenge as there is no documentation. It's very important to pick effective metrics to use as you can't manage what you can't measure.

In Software quality testing, there is an important role of ‘Metrics’ popularly known as Software Metrics;”software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications “[Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_metric]. Software metrics can be an answer to many questions, like planning budget, cost estimation, assuring quality of a product, software debugging, software performance optimization, and resource management.

Proud to share Article on Software Testing Growth and its Market

Software Testing Growth and its Market : 

Software testing was introduced by Glenford J Myers (known as the father of software testing) in 1979. The main aim at that time was to separate verification from the rest of the coding process itself. His work was carried forward to the next level in the year 1988 by Dr. William C. Hetzel, who organized the first conference totally dedicated to 'Software Testing'. This article focuses on the present market for global software testing services.

The IT think tanks, specialists and bigwigs of theindustry consider it to be one of the most important tasks in the software devlopment process. In terms of quality engineering, one of the major targets to fulfil is meeting customer requirements, and above all, their expectations; this can be done only by making a defect-free product that is thoroughly tested. Business and top level management are aware that software testing is one of the most essential processes in the whole cycle to be completed; therefore, investment and capitalization is high. The market value of software testing has grown tremendously and will soar to new heights in the upcoming years.
