Why Software Testing is Important

icon

Find bugs

Testing helps identify defects and flaws in the software before release. Without thorough software testing, bugs could go undetected and impact customers in the field. Testing exposes issues early so development teams can fix them.
icon

Ensure quality

Testing improves the overall quality of the software by fixing the found issues. Testing not only finds bugs but verifies key quality attributes like reliability, performance, security, and usability. Comprehensive testing leads to higher quality software.
icon

Save money

Finding issues early in testing saves time and money compared to finding them in production. Fixing bugs during development is cheaper than fixing bugs once released. Less issues in production means fewer patch releases and happier customers.
icon

Ensure functionality

Testing verifies all the features and functionality of the software works correctly as expected under different scenarios. It checks the UI, APIs, integrations, workflows and ensures they function properly end-to-end.
icon

Build confidence

Successful testing across various test types and environments gives confidence that the software works correctly under different conditions. Comprehensive testing leaves no doubts about software readiness.
icon

Meet requirements

Testing checks the software against specified business, functional and technical requirements and validates if it meets them as expected. This ensures alignment with what customers and stakeholders want.

Partnership Model

The Time and Material (T&M) pricing model is an effective approach for small and medium-sized businesses, especially those with complex, long-term projects. It also works well for ongoing testing, bug fixing, maintenance and support efforts. With T&M, scope and budgets are defined iteratively versus upfront payment for the entire project. This provides flexibility to adjust effort and plans as needs change over time.

  • team image
  • team image
  • team image

By scoping and estimating iteratively, T&M pricing can adapt to changing needs. For SMBs, this incremental style matches the way many technology projects unfold. T&M provides an adjustable framework to evolve systems over time.

Key benefits of the T&M approach:

  • Accommodates fluid requirements that emerge during project execution
  • Allows for changes in timeline or resources required
  • Gives client control to pivot priorities as market conditions shift
  • Suits prolonged engagements across multiple phases

The process of hiring quality assurance testers

Step 01

First of all, you need to understand the scope of your testing needs and possible limitations regarding timeframe or budget. If you’re not sure, we can consult you on the testing approach for your product.

Step 02

To hire QA testers, you’ll need to find a reliable partner. When searching for the providers of quality assurance services, see if they have experience with similar products, ask how they select the best engineers, and learn about the possible collaboration models.

Step 03

Once you hire quality assurance testers and decide on the engagement model, you’ll have to sign contracts and NDAs if needed. And that’s it—you can onboard engineers and incorporate the chosen testing methods.

Case Studies

FAQ

  • Why does my business need software testing services?

    Without continuous testing, a software product is susceptible to numerous problems from crashes to poor UX. Quality assurance services will help you develop a product that performs fast, is bug-free, and delights end users.

  • At what stage of development do I need to hire a QA tester?

    Testing starts with project requirement analysis and when done right, saves time and money for future implementation. However, you can change and extend your QA team at any stage—at Binary Studio, we can provide you with the right specialist for post-release fixes as well as for initial testing.

  • What types of testing do I need?

    Different types of testing address different aspects of your software. You might need:

    • unit testing for checking the functionality of separate parts of the product
    • integration testing for verifying the interactions between integrated components
    • regression testing for detecting and fixing issues related to changes in the development environment
    • system testing for evaluating the use of system resources and UX quality
    • acceptance testing for ensuring that the requirements are met

    To get the full picture of what tests should be carried out for your project, drop us a line, and we’ll explain all the details.

  • How quickly can you staff testers to our project?

    With our efficient hiring process, we can swiftly onboard test engineers with the required skills based on seniority level and technical area.

Key QA Activities

Quality assurance engineers play a vital role across the software development life cycle. Key QA responsibilities span:

Requirements Gathering

QA reviews specs to ensure testability and begins test planning. Understanding what the software aims to achieve is crucial.

Test Planning

Based on the requirements, QA defines overall test strategy, types of testing needed and creates initial test cases to verify key functionality.

Test Execution

QA executes test cases, analyzes results, logs defects, and may automate repetitive tests. Verifying software behavior is the heart of the QA role.

Bug Tracking

Defects get documented, are then prioritized for developers,and then are re-tested after fixes to check for proper resolution. No issue should slip through the cracks.

Regression Testing

Existing test cases get executed with each software change to catch any new issues introduced. QA assures older functionality remains intact.

Release

Once all tests have passed and priority bugs fixed, QA signs off to release a high quality, thoroughly-validated software version to customers.

How do you create a test script?

Creating robust test automation scripts is a key skill for QA engineers. The key steps include:

team image

Well-designed test automation scripts enhance efficiency and reduce the risks of regressions in key processes. The right approach ensures a successful and reliable platform.

  • Identify Test Scenarios

    Select high risk areas, frequent workflows or complex functions as candidates to automate. Focus where automation can maximize coverage.

  • Map the Test Flow

    Outline the sequenced steps, inputs, and expected outcomes for the scenario to automate. Document test data needed to execute the steps.

  • Code the Script

    Use a coding language like Selenium or an automation tool to systematically encode the test scenario and validation logic.

  • Test & Refine

    Run the script iteratively to check logic, troubleshoot issues, and refine until it is executing flawlessly.

  • Integrate & Maintain

    Include automated scripts within the regression test suite. Check regularly to address any impacts from application changes.

Traits to Seek in Top QA Test Engineers

Top QA testers blend collaborative teamwork with relentless curiosity. Assess these qualities in interviews via real-world debugging scenarios.

  • team image

    Partners in Quality

    Look for test engineers who proactively partner with program managers, developers and users. Key traits include:

    • Careful, detailed bug reporting to replicate issues
    • Clarifying requirements and calling out implementation gaps
    • Keeping teams informed of risks found in testing

    Quality is a team effort. QA drives understanding of how code maps to specifications and use cases.

  • team image

    Tireless Explorers

    We also seek testers who dig deeper into product internals and usage contexts, such as:

    • Questioning specs to uncover missing elements
    • Expanding domain knowledge through hands-on product research
    • Experimenting via exploratory testing to push software limits
    • Relentlessly trying to break code to reveal flaws

    Innovative testing comes from genuine curiosity into application construction, customer needs and industry direction. Top QA talent lights the way.
