Web Testing Service

At any point in the life-cycle of a web development, organizing and scheduling QA can be a complex and often stressful process. This is why more and more web development companies are opting to use an outsourced web testing service instead. There are several key benefits of using a web testing service outlined below:

Before making the actual decision to outsource any web testing, its worth thinking about the reasons why before-hand. Having the right level of expertise already in the web development company is not straight-forward. For a small to medium-sized web development company, a dedicated web testing QA team may not even exist. The associated cost of employing full-time web testers may simply not be viable, especially as there may not be an ongoing demand for web testing. Many small to medium sized companies will only require QA at certain times, and so using full-time or even contract web testers simply does not make any financial sense. This is where using an outsourced web testing company really shines.

An outsourced web testing company will have expert web testers on-hand to meet any testing requirement you may have. Their expertise would have been gained over several years of testing a huge range of web developments. Their level of expertise will allow their web testers to easily ‘ramp-up’ to learn your web develop inside and out.

The cost of using an outsourced web testing company is significantly less than paying for full-time or contract staff. The main reason for this is; you are only paying for web testing when you actually need it. There are no hidden costs, and therefore this makes project planning so much easier from a financial aspect. Most reputable QA companies will offer a Web Testing Service that can be paid for on an hourly rate or even a fixed cost for the entire project.

If using an outsourced web testing service is something you are considering, then talk to the Web Testing Team at Testing4Success. They are one of the world’s leading Web Testing Service providers. Talk to them today at www.testing4success.com.

Mobile App QA Company

Trying to organize QA at any point in the development of a mobile app can be tricky to say the least. That’s why choosing to use an outsourced mobile app QA service is becoming a very popular option indeed. So, what are the benefits of choosing to outsource rather than simply using resources within the originating company?

There are a few key factors to consider when selecting an outsourced mobile app QA company. Having the right expertise within a company is not as straight-forward as it first appears. The cost of of hiring a mobile app tester on a full-time or even on a contract basis can be extremely costly for any mobile app development company. Many companies only need mobile app testers at certain points in the app’s development life-cycle, such as shortly before release; for example. Therefore, it is unfeasible to retain full-time testers for this kind of sporadic work. That’s where an outsourced mobile app testing company comes in. You simply hire them as and when you need them, no long term contracts or other overheads (healthcare, vacation time etc). A good outsourced mobile app QA company will be able to provide you with testers at very short notice.

Mobile app testing expertise is very hard to come by. The whole mobile app arena is still relatively new, and therefore there are very few actual professional mobile app testers. The chances of having such testers available is very slim. But, a mobile app testing company will have a whole team of them. In addition this team would have had exposure to a whole range of different apps. This makes it easy for them to ‘ramp up’ on any new app very quickly. They will quickly be able to detect defects through exploratory testing or other techniques at their disposal.

Being able to test a mobile on real devices is key to ensure an app appears as expected. But, how many mobile app developers have access to a good range of real devices? not many, that’s for sure. The cost of purchasing a range of iOS and Android devices will run into several thousands, and with the constant release of new devices coming onto the market, the cost will be ongoing. A good outsourced mobile app QA company will have an up to date range of Android and iOS devices. Their range of mobile devices will allow your app to be tested for compatibility. This  provides the mobile app developers with total confidence that their app will look and behave as expected to their target audience.

If you are considering using an Outsourced Mobile App QA Company, then consider using Testing4Success. They are one of the world’s leading Mobile App Testing Companies. Talk to their Mobile App Testing Team today.

ISTQB Agile Tester Certification Training Course

Any self-respecting tester that calls themselves a professional should have Agile testing experience. If they don’t have experience, then there is something that they can do about it. They can now get certified by the ISTQB in the ISTQB Agile Tester Extension certification. This relatively new software testing certification aims to provide a tester with the knowledge they need to test software with an Agile environment.

The ISTQB Agile Tester certification is not actually a stand-alone certification, which means that not anyone can simply take the test, as there is a prerequisite. All testers wishing to take the exam must already hold the ISTQB Foundation certificate in Software Testing (CTFL). As this is the most popular software testing certification in the world, chances are; most testers will already have it.

This new certification from the ISTQB is already hugely popular among software testers in the QA world. This is in part due to the lack of ‘real’ certifications in the QA world. So, many testers are keen to find a way to obtain the knowledge required to enable them to pass the exam and get this new sought-after certification.

Some testers may be fortunate enough to get their employers to pay for them to attend a classroom-led ISTQB Agile training course. But, most testers do not have this privilege available to them. In addition, those testers who are currently looking for a way into the field of software testing may not have the personal budget to enable them to spend thousands on such training. Fortunately, there is another training option open to them and all testers who need to get certified, and this option is ‘distance-learning’.

There are some myths about distance learning, which are for the most part untrue. Such as there is no support for students, or there are no practice exams etc. Taking a look at the leading distance learning provide ‘Testing4Success.com’, their ISTQB Agile Tester Extension Training Course provides full Tutor Support, and 120 Practice Questions.

So what are the benefits of choosing a distance learning or online training course? flexibility is a huge advantage for any software tester who wishes to study for this certification. A distance learning course means you can study at any time of day you wish. In addition, you can effectively study from anywhere you wish too. For example, you could study while traveling or in a lunch break etc.

Cost is always a factor in any training. A good distance learning course will provide you with everything you need to pass the exam for just a few hundred dollars, which is a huge saving on the thousand dollars plus you would be looking at for a classroom-led course

If you are a tester look to obtain the ISTQB Agile Tester certification. Then perhaps you should consider the distance-learning or online method of training. Testing4Success provides single-user and multi-user licenses for this training course. View the details for the ISTQB Agile Tester Extension Training Course now!

New Changes for ISTQB Certification in 2016

In recent years, updates to the core range of ISTQB certifications, such as ISTQB Foundation, ISTQB Advanced and ISTQB Agile Tester have been few and far between. In fact, for the ISTQB Foundation syllabus, it has been four years. So what changes are we to expect next year?

There are rumors in the QA community that the ISTQB is working on updates to its ISTQB Foundation syllabus and ISTQB Advanced syllabus, which we are t o expect in the new examination next year (2016). Whether or not these rumors turn out to be true remains to be seen. There certainly is no word on the official ISTQB website. So what changes are we likely to see in any future ISTQB syllabus?

There is a lot of ‘buzz’ at the moment for a world-wide official certification for Mobile App Testing (Mobile QA). While this would be relatively welcomed by the QA community, do we actually need it. What the ISTQB promotes is the key fact that good software testing principles can be applied to any software product or platform. Fortunately for Software Testers is that the key fundamentals of software testing do not change very often, nor will they. Will a tester who has completed a mobile app training course find more defects in a mobile app than a tester who holds an ISTQB certification? The answer will probably be know. Obviously there are several other contributory factors to consider, but essentially a good tester should be able to plan and execute a good test strategy to uncover defects regardless of the software platform.

There are many calls for and expectations that the ISTQB will(and must) add mobile testing information to its future ISTQB range of QA certifications. I very much doubt this will actually be the case. Just take a look through the current ISTQB syllabi, and see for yourself how much of it is still relavant and can be applied to a mobile app.

Mobile app development (and subsequent QA) is a huge proportion of the worlds current software market, and its here to stay. As Testers, do we need to update our skill-sets? or simply change our attitude?
