A breakdown or glitch during a vital transaction can be difficult to fix, possibly resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and not forget, harming customer trust and experience. Ensuring the functionality of software or mobile app through rigorous testing is paramount to ensure swift rollouts and to maintain seamless business operations.
As businesses increasingly depend on advanced technologies to deliver their offerings, the burden on IT keeps on bulging in our ever-evolving 24/7 connected world. It’s imperative that IT services be prompt, smooth, flawless, and economical with key focus on improving user experience.
Managed Testing Services: An Overview
Yet, achieving this degree of reliability poses challenges for many enterprises:
- Many are looking towards IT modernization, highlighting the need for cost-effective transformation solutions.
- Factors like tech innovations, regional focuses, and industry-specific needs shape the future investments in Quality Assurance (QA) or QA and testing services.
- Many businesses haven’t fully tapped into the potential of Testing Centers of Excellence (TCOEs) or testing CoE framework.
- There is a struggle in QA to link outcomes with business objectives and measure the impact of defects once they hit production.
- Often, QA and testing services don’t get the spotlight in business operations, leading to limited or stretched testing resources.
- Specialized testing environments, like end-to-end multi-system testing, come at a high cost.
- Heavy dependence on software developers can lead to issues once the software/app goes live.
- Businesses are facing growing demands, especially when it comes to launching software and/or mobile apps correctly the first time.
Further intensifying these technical aspects are overarching business drivers like the quest for amplified productivity, reduced time-to-market, cost-efficiency, and compliance with current laws and norms, all of which amplify the focus on QA and testing services.
