As a part of a taxi app project, you are well aware of the amount of resources needed to build such a product. Without diving into technical details, remember:

• Uber’s “God View” incident that revealed locations of high-profile individuals.
• Careem’s data breach that disclosed personal info of 14 million users.
• And Taxify’s buggy app that randomly adjusted pick-up locations and set incorrect prices.

Clearly, there is much to pay attention to when creating taxi apps. That’s why software testing services are essential for the product’s proper functioning. While developers, project managers, business analysts, etc., are paramount for the overall quality of the product, every listed position would need to do the work outside of their duties and expertise.

After leaving the Metaverse funeral, everyone jumped on the AI party bus. The confidence in artificial intelligence is now stronger than ever. And the renewed zeal for enhancing business efficiency and productivity motivates more companies to implement AI solutions. But as we’ve learned from the past years – there’s no magic potion to make your venture an almighty entity. And AI is no exception. Yet, unlike the Metaverse, AI’s active development gives the technology a solid base for advancement. Plus, its current benefits are acclaimed in all industries. Still, let’s avoid getting ahead of ourselves and planning for a utopian world. Instead, we shall focus on where AI stands now and what it means for ...

Your feature-rich, functionally- and UI-perfect software won’t last if users’ minds go blank when using it. Client expectations for UX have migrated from the B2C sector. Thus sparking enthusiasm around customer-centricity in the B2B field. Inherently complex, B2B projects’ CX scores are below average. And in 2023, 80% of consumers prioritize usability. So even intricate solutions, e.g., procurement software, ERPs, etc., must be intuitive, easy to use, and user-friendly. Securing these three elements in your product means developing with consumers at the core of any action. You can’t make users your business’ CEOs. But you can boost the focus on clients and deal with challenges that c...

By Dmitriy Zholudev, AQA Lead at QA Madness If you’re reading this, you must be a software developer. It doesn’t necessarily mean you write code using programming languages; maybe, you take another position in a team – a Business Analyst, Designer, QA Engineer, Project Manager, etc. If you order/buy software, license, games, tools, or devices, in a way, you’re also a software developer. How’s so? You contribute to creating jobs for people who make all those things: for programmers, managers, software testers, and so on. As a regular user, do you want the phone or application you bought yesterday to work well today, tomorrow, and for the next few years? Do you want the chair you made yesterday to be useful tomorrow or next year? Well, laptops and chairs are surely fun to talk about, but being more specific, we are interested in software development in its primary understanding: writing programming code and testing it (via ...

Usually, when we think of product differentiation, we imagine better prices, fancy features, unique brand messages, etc. But when the market is so rich, finding something to set your product apart from the rest is tough. However, your distinguishing characteristic can be quality. Sure, there are many quality projects out there. Alas, those created with sincere care and quality embedded into their essence – maybe a few. Leveraging quality as a competitive advantage calls for a bottom-up approach. It all starts with software manual testing services. With a quality culture founded upon acceptance testing, you can maximize the potential of your idea.

The Value of Quality Culture

All industries have set standards that a project should reach to compete. And, unfortunately, that has become the goal for many businesses – to be ‘good enough’ to enter the rivalry. But even when you implement unique funct...

Currently, the e-commerce sector is like a flower garden. We all adore roses for their richness. But the truth is, a multitude of petals is sometimes a disadvantage. Ornamental plants produce less nectar due to spending more energy on appearances. And more petals actually mean more ‘distractions’ for pollinators to go through to get to their target. With the intensifying progression of the industry, businesses see constantly expanding growth opportunities. SaaS, AR/VR, ERPs, headless CMSs, virtual shopping, etc., will make your head spin and question whether these options are worth their while. So, for e-commerce platforms, the goal is to find stable footing and build upon it, making sure that each decision is justified and valuable. Now, at the core of innovation is artificial intelligence. It has found its place in every new tech and trend. This means that establishing a sturdy AI technology is a certain, solid way to upgrade your business. Ergo, it is essential to know wha...

One look at the headline, and you might think we’re just trying to sell our mobile testing services. Well, our team’s always glad to work on new projects, but that’s not the thing. While more and more people have started to recognize the value of professional QA, some still may remain skeptical about it or don’t fully understand what they get. A while ago, a situation when everyone in the product team became a tester of their own software was quite common. In practice, being an active user of a particular kind of mobile apps or knowing the details of your product, unfortunately, doesn’t equal the expertise you get with QA providers. How’s so? You can read many books and watch many films, but that doesn’t make you a professional critic. You need to build a theoretical background, too. You can cook meals daily, but that still doesn’t make you a great chef. This list can ...

The procurement software development process is complex and comes with many challenges: balancing the high quality of the platform with competitive price, involving the right expertise, an ability to deal with a wide range of ongoing roadmap enhancements on several products or their variations, and so on. We faced a variety of those challenges while working along with the development and product teams that create digital procurement platforms. So this article is based on our observations, analysis, and clients’ feedback. We’ll share some tips our QA team has learned through the years. Hopefully, you’ll discover something new and handy.

Best QA Practices in Procurement Software Development
