According to Pew Research Center, 83% of US adults were using smartphones in 2019, and 74% of them were also desktop or laptop owners. Moreover, surprising four and a half billion people around the globe, which is 59% of the total world population, were internet users.
With the use of technologies constantly increasing, users get picky — the more sophisticated they are, the more powerful software is expected to become. This contributes to an ever-intensifying market competition.
At the same time, providing customers with software that meets all the expectations is only half the battle: before and once the product is on the market, companies also have to take care of their up-and-running systems, as well as ensure the cohesion and integrity of the IT environments these systems operate in.
The more intricate the solutions are, the more potential faults they are likely to carry. Not only this affects user churn rate negatively, but also results in reputational damage the product owners may face, with hardly predictable losses. According to the research by CISQ, poor software quality costed US companies approximately $2.84 trillion in 2018. That’s why it’s crucial for software providers to consider quality assurance and testing as thoroughly as the development process itself, and ensure the following:
Quality assurance is a complex time-consuming process, which should be entrusted to experienced professionals with relevant expertise.
