Quality assurance (QA) is essential for developing reliable and efficient software. It ensures that issues are identified and resolved early so the final product meets all requirements and performs effectively. This guide will provide a detailed roadmap for understanding and implementing effective QA practices in software development.

With mobile apps expected to reach more than 183.7 billion installations globally, there has also been an increase in mobile app security threats. Today’s cyberattacks are highly sophisticated, requiring constant vigilance due to many unknown or emerging threats. These threats require a proactive approach to mobile application security. End users can take steps to protect sensitive data on their devices, such as avoiding unprotected public Wi-Fi and setting up multi-factor authentication.

Quality assurance (QA) is critical to delivering brilliant customer experiences. However, with a plethora of testing types and methods, testing a mobile application for release can be overwhelming. We’ve outlined the essential mobile application testing process below to get you through it.

Quality assurance (QA) activities are often seen as a necessary yet time-consuming and expensive process. This outlook can often limit the potential and impact of good QA. In reality, QA is not just about finding and fixing bugs; it’s a strategic value-add that can drive innovation, improve product stickiness, accelerate time-to-market, and enhance overall product quality. Yet, finding the balance between a necessary task and strategic impact can be challenging for many organizations.

Quality and functionality are critical factors in software development. This is where testing methodologies like smoke testing and functional testing come into play. Smoke testing is a high-level, preliminary testing process to ensure that a software program’s most critical functions are working correctly. In contrast, functional testing is a more detailed and thorough testing process.

The modern-day SDLC methodologies such as agile, CI/CD, and DevOps are flexible enough to incorporate change requests in each sprint, which increases the probability of introducing errors in existing functionality. This makes validating existing functionality, detecting newly introduced bugs, and resolving them mandatory in each build release. Whether manual or automated, such software testing is widespread and referred to as regression testing.

Is there a formula or approach to estimate how much you should spend on your quality engineering (QE) efforts? Our CEO, Steve Semelsberger, is frequently asked that question in discussions with other leaders. In part II of his quality engineering for CEOs series, Steve guides us through various scenarios and offers a unique approach to calculating your QE spend based on your specific business needs.

Regression defects are unexpected errors that arise in previously functional software following updates or modifications to the codebase. A significant 85% of development managers agree that reducing technical debt, including regression defects, without compromising innovation has become increasingly difficult. If you’re like most software developers or testers, you’re always looking to improve the quality of your code. One way to do this is by understanding and preventing regression defects.
