Quality
Assurance Software Testing and its Significance |
Software
testing is essential, but it is definitely not the core
activity of most organizations that require it. Spintrum’s
testing experts can handle the work more efficiently,
ensuring quality results. Your company will save time
and money on a process that would otherwise be tedious
and exhausting if performed in house.
Outsource your software testing to Spintrum!

Why
Quality Assurance Software Testing? |
 |
|
There
are two major industry trends adding to the pressure.
The first is accelerated release cycles. Second, while
releases are more frequent and cycles shorter, the cost
of failure has increased dramatically. Just a few years
ago, when client server products were at the cutting
edge, releases were, perhaps, annual and the expected
number of users was known well in advance, because all
the users were employees. |
An
organisation could mitigate a system failure with a
manual backup. But as huge portions of the business
were overhauled, and these systems addressed larger
user populations, releases became more frequent, and
system failures commonly meant that no orders could
be taken at all. Today with E-commerce applications,
releases can occur two or three times per month. Now,
the user base is a large but unknown number of customers,
not employees. System failures are highly visible and
can cause customers to run to the competition.
These trends have several serious implications for project
managers. The high cost of failure means that deploying
untested software is simply not an option. Additionally,
every aspect of quality needs validation, not just one
or two. Accelerated release cycles drive the need for
automated testing in which tests are easy to create,
maintain and reuse. There is just too much to do in
too little time to rely on manual methods.
A continuous approach to quality, initiated early in
the software lifecycle, can lower the cost of completing
and maintaining the software significantly. This greatly
reduces the risk associated with deploying poor quality
software. |

| OTC |
Spintrum’s
Off-shore Testing Center (OTC) operations is an excellent
option for software development firms, as well as for
IT departments of large companies aiming to reduce their
testing costs and concentrate on their core activities.
Spintrum OTC operations operate under relatively long
term partnerships, providing our clients a dedicated testing
center for their continuous/various testing needs, and
work under situations where the total work amounts cannot
be estimated or the scope of work is open ended.
Spintrum OTC works closely with our clients' development
teams and becomes an integral part of their development
operations. |

| Various
tests |
Our
wide experience allows us to offer different types of
software testing services, among which we can mention:
• Functional Testing: It makes
sure that the software complies with the approved requirements
specifications. |
| |
| •
Regression Testing: It checks all software
functionalities and also accelerates the testing time
by means of robotisation. |
| |
| •
Compatibility Testing: It makes sure
that the software is compatible with certain versions
of operating systems, web servers, databases, and other
components that constitute the application architecture. |
| |
| •
Performance Testing: It checks response
time, consumed and available resources, and bottle necks
in the normal operation of the application. |
| |
| •
Stress Testing: It overloads the software to
verify its behaviour regarding concurrence, error handling,
and consumed resources. |
| |
| •
Unit Testing: testing of individual pieces
of code which are later assembled in an application. |
| |
| •
White Box Testing: It checks the application
code making sure that it complies with the coding standards
and best practices stated by the organization. |
| |
| •
Usability Testing: It makes sure that
the application is designed according to basic usability
considerations. This type of testing includes documentation
that contains recommendations about ergonomics and navigability
in accordance with international standards, which define
guidelines for such purposes. |
