Why Businesses Value Software Testing Services?

“Testing is a natural instinct that has been honed by technology and evolution”


- Geekferry

Let us first obtain some grasp of what testing is and how it works for us instinctively before learning why every enterprise on earth values it so highly.

It is not unusual to test something before buying, using, or even touching it; in fact, testing is one of the earliest human practices, dating back to the Stone Age. The only thing that has changed is technology and the testing tools have also advanced with it.

History has proven that software's with excellent ideas and prospects which were not thoroughly tested before being placed into the market failed, while software with similar ideas that underwent rigorous testing by a highly skilled team like Geekferry succeeded and managed to make billions of dollars.one example of failure due to lack of testing is Friendster more on it later.

Need for Testing

We are aware that no human being is flawless, thus it is illogical to assume that our development will be error-free. We should all verify our own work twice as a result. However, some mistakes are the outcome of false assumptions and blind spots, so when we review our own, we might still repeat the same mistakes. Ideally, at this point you should bring in a highly skilled QA team like Geekferry, who are more likely to spot development errors.

Delivering software without adequate testing is corporate suicide because customer satisfaction is the cornerstone of every firm, and there is an infinitesimal slim possibility that untested software will meet customers' expectations. Hence it follows that software testing is essential and should not be disregarded.

Software testing's benefits

  1. Resource use that is more effective and efficient

  2. Software testing offers several benefits, one of which is efficient resource use by streamlining the development process and finding bugs and errors in the software as it is being developed. After full development is complete, the software is tested as a whole, which contributes to the delivery of high-quality software.

  3. Testing saves time and money

  4. Every company view time and money as two of the most crucial factors in project development, and testing serves to help companies reach the goal of creating software that is both time and cost effective. As starting early testing and the bugs and Error found at preliminary stages are easier to fix than those found after full development so testing saves time and money.

  5. Security and performance

  6. The user can be sure they will obtain a trustworthy product if the product is tested. The user's confidential information is secure. With the help of software testing, users can get products that are secure. Friendster struggled to keep up with the growing number of members, and by the time they did, it was already too late because the market was oversaturated. Inferior performance was one of the reasons why Friendster failed. Testing helps you determine the performance of your software and make sure that it meets customer satisfaction.

  7. Ease of adding new features

  8. Changes get more challenging with older and more intertwined codes. By enabling developers to securely incorporate new features, tests combat this trend toward calcification. While altering older portions of your codebase as a new developer can be daunting, tests will at least let you know if you have broken something crucial. This aids in making your program stand out from the competitors and succeed in the market.

  9. Quality and customer satisfaction

  10. Every customer expects quality software when they wish to buy something, so it is almost certain that the quality of software that has undergone testing will always be better than software that has not. Thus, testing guarantees the software's quality, which eventually results in customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

We have just seen why testing is necessary and how highly valued it is by businesses everywhere. Testing helps you in understanding the software's strengths and shortcomings. It is obvious that you cannot sell anything without first understanding it. If you somehow managed to sell an untested piece of software, then there is an extremely high possibility that it could fail, and your company's reputation will suffer as a result. Before you release your software to the public, let Geekferry aid you in better understanding it and fixing its flaws.
