In 2025, software testing outsourcing is like a horror movie – we’re scared of it, and we love it. If you’re reading this, you’re probably in a similar state, nervous and excited. More importantly, you definitely have questions. And we’re here to answer them. This article discusses three things:

1. Concerns you might have about outsourced QA software testing.
2. How you can use it, and what the exact benefits are.
3. And whether QA outsource is right for you.

Let’s get to it.

Concerns in Software Testing Outsource

The demand for software testing outsourcing opportunities has been growing steadily for a while. In 2023, over 40% of companies planned to increase their reliance on outsourcing. And in 2024, around 70% of organizations ...

Forget Copperfield’s death saw. Balancing quality with available resources is the greatest trick of all time. It’s quite rare for software projects to both have perfect budgets and meet set goals. So, if you’re pondering how to do the best with what you have – you’re in the right corner of the web. In this article, we discuss practices and processes that secure decent quality for your web app and don’t exhaust your assets.

Focus on Web App Manual Testing’s Critical Areas First

The critical areas we’re talking about include the unique features of your app and your product as such. If we take a look at the difference between web applications and desktop applications, you can notice the following: Manual web app testing is similar to checking other types of applications. But there are aspects that are most important for users: navigation, responsiveness, load spee...

Quality assurance, quality control, and quality management are remarkably confusing. And it’s not surprising. The “original” QA, QC, and QM always had designated phases within software development. But as it turned more agile and collaborative, the trio became closely intertwined. And now, it’s tricky to separate them from one another. Because of that, it’s often difficult for companies to use them appropriately. Today, we discuss the differences between QA, QC and QM and how to apply each for distinct product benefits.

Quality Management vs Quality Assurance vs Quality Control in Software Testing

Interestingly enough, QA and QM evolved from QC. The original practice of quality control was “testers” manually checking a product’s features to locate defects. Soon, businesses realized that preventing errors instead of fixing them was more cost-effective. The key to that was improving quality-related procedures. That’s how QA was born. Instead of locat...

Everyone says that automated testing is expensive. Yet, at the same time, you can’t afford not to use it. You certainly should consider the costs involved. But more attention should go to what happens when your project is devoid of automation. So, today, we discuss its application in the most profit-driven area – functional automated testing.

What Is Functional Automation Testing?

Let’s avoid fancy term descriptions and focus on what’s important. Functional testing means checking whether a product does what it should. For example, when a user clicks “Add to cart,” the app should include the selected item in the personal account. To check this functionality, you open the application, add a product to the cart, and see what happens. That’s how you’ll know whether this feature works. Functional testing automation follows the same principle. But it uses tools and frameworks to streamline this process. Instead of performing the described action over and over again...

AI has made it a full circle. It was a miracle. Then it became a controversial trend. Finally, it transformed into the core of productivity. And now, AI expertise is among the top skills tech companies are looking for. Despite still being in development and not having established regulations, the field of artificial intelligence has already found tons of uses with the most popular one being automation. Interestingly, over one-third of organizations still struggle with applying it. So, there’s no point for them to turn to AI-based automation testing. Yet, with the current IT landscape, if you’re not using it, you’re missing out. In that regard, this article has two goals: showing you why AI is worth a try and how to implement it in your project.

The research that shows that users prefer apps to websites is misleading. Sure, people mostly interact with applications on their phones to chat, search for info, pay, etc. But what do you think is easier for any person: install an app, register, figure out how it works, or just visit a web page? Users enjoy websites because they’re simple and familiar. And for businesses, it’s often the first, defining step toward recognition and success. So, it’s no wonder they have to be near perfect to impress the modern customer. Today, we discuss the role of automated web testing in making your online presence prominent and your project triumphant.

What Is Web Automation Testing?

Let’s start with the basics (they are the backbone of everything, after all). Automated web application testing is the use of tools to optimize your QA processes and advance your product’s quality. These tools automate scenarios you rely on to check your app’s behavior. If we talk about ...

Quality control is obsolete. The spread of Agile, DevOps, and shift-left approach has pushed traditional QC out of businesses’ practices. We now have continuous improvement, user acceptance testing, and total quality management. Each of them strives to eliminate post-factum checks. And the ultimate goal for organizations today is to be as proactive as possible. Yet, quality control testing isn’t lying curled up in the corner and barely breathing. It’s the most alive it’s ever been. You just may not have noticed how it has changed. So, let’s find out how to use it now.

What Is Quality Control Testing?

Originally, QC was a dedicated, post-release phase where a team checked a product’s quality. The purpose of this retroactive inspection was to see how well the preceding activities were carried out. For example, you could pinpoint how effective your testing was by looking at how many defects were present after completion. Quality control in software testing acted as ...

Be honest, if your phone disappeared right now, your world would be in shambles. Data access, payments, GPS, calls, apps… We rely on our devices for nearly everything. And for many, that small metal gadget is the difference between feeling secure and comfortable and wanting to cry in the corner. And the number one threat to your customers’ happiness and your business’ prosperity is poor mobile app security testing. For over five years, cyber security issues have been the number one risk for companies. And as more people become increasingly aware of the cruciality of digital protection, their demands for online safety grow sharper. So, today we discuss the big and tiny things that make your mobile security testing meaningful and practical.

Teams have a love-hate relationship with Android. It’s highly customizable and has an incredibly vast community and toolkits. It’s indeed a very flexible OS. And that’s where the hate part comes in – working with devices that could rival human cells in their quantity. For that reason, automated Android testing has become a staple in QA resources. But there’s something else that should take its place: high-quality, expertise-driven automation. Yes, automated software testing services are, without exaggeration, a miracle for many companies. Yet, it wouldn’t lead anywhere without skill and domain mastery. Today, we discuss the little things that make your Android automation testing go big.

The Nuances of Android App Automated Testing

First and foremost, your team needs to know Android quirks by heart. And they need to understand them like basic math (one plus one isn’t two and a half). In the worl...
