Why do some startups or small business entities evolve and pack up their business set up within some days? This is because of their software product or app failure in the market. But again the question arises in many sharp minds that what is the underlying factor behind the failure of software products of these businesses? Quite a large number of researchers have researched in this regard and all of them come up with an absolute conclusion about the insufficient efforts and investments businesses put in to carry out their software testing processes. Software testing or quality assurance is the new essential to suffer in the software development industry. The reason why software testing is becoming a necessity for business owners to prevent the delivery or release of poor quality software products and apps to the end-users. 

Software testing is the most basic activity that an organization must perform in its software development life-cycle. Because it makes it possible to detect every single vulnerability that is weakening the cyber defense of the product, also with the timely detection of errors, timely fixtures can be made, and hence overall software product quality will be strengthened. But this does not mean that baking software testing in the ending stages of the software development life-cycle would enable your products to do wonders in the market. However, the ideal way to conduct testing and to expect profits from the market is by baking the software testing process from the initial stages of a software development life-cycle. Organizations that develop their software products and apps without involving software testing are the ones who set up their business with overconfidence and later on have to face failures and end up wrapping up their business operations. 

In this article, we’ve come up with the following ways that you can adapt to optimize your software testing process.

Baking software testing as early as possible – It is relatively easy and simple to detect issues, errors, warning signs, and ambiguities that prevents quality assurance team members to encounter major problems in the future. The defects found at an initial phase of the software development life-cycle like the coding stage, are easier and less expensive to resolve. Also, involving the testing team from the beginning will create a better understanding of the software among the testing resources.

Effective Testing Method – Another thing that accounts to be the most important part of optimizing your software testing is by selecting or choosing the most efficient yet effective method of carrying software testing. One best way to lessen the workloads of the software testers is to implement the use of software testing tools. Software testing tools prove to be a great helping hand for the manual testers as it allows the team members to focus on the tasks that are of high priority while handling the other tasks like managing test cases or hunting maximum defects, on their own. Another great way of carrying out software testing is by acquiring software testing services from incredible, trustworthy, and well-known software testing companies. But acquiring services from these companies is another challenge as one has to be very conscious before it partners with any of the vendors available in the market. There are well-defined criteria to evaluate the capable and expert software testing company that can handle all your testing tasks very well.

Conduct the code reviews – The code reviews can be conducted both formally and informally. The formal review can take the form of review meetings, drills, and inspections. The results of these audits help determine whether our products meet the requirements. Code quality standards, domain knowledge, and knowledge resources are other checkpoints for test optimization. The reliability, performance, maintenance, and safety of the system are certain measures checked in the review.

Establish an appropriate test environment – If organizations truly want to optimize the software testing process, they must make special efforts from the beginning of the software project. Good practices will include having a dedicated quality assurance team at an early stage, transferring knowledge across teams, and maintaining continuous and appropriate communication between different teams so that all teams can keep abreast of project progress.
