Canada"s No.1 QA / Software Testing Company

Outsourced QA Service / Software Testing Service

A growing number of software development companies are now choosing to outsource their QA / Software Testing to a professional QA service company. The relatively low cost and assurance that professionals are performing the testing makes this a viable and sensible option for any company that wishes to increase or maintain the quality of their software applications.

One of the key benefits of using a professional outsourced QA service / software testing service is the hassle-free process involved. The company providing the QA service will typically need only a small amount of information from the software development company in order to perform their testing. After all, this is what they do, they take on a wide variety of work from multiple companies, so they are not skilled in one specific area, but used to ramping-up and performing effective testing on the fly.

Budgeting is an important component of any software product development. A good Outsourced QA / Software Testing Service will provide you with estimates way up front. This allows any project to know the QA costs up-front, which can be a huge advantage to keeping a project within the overall budget. In additional, if a product development gets delayed (we all know this is often the case), a company does not have to keep paying for contract or full-time QA staff. With an outsourced software testing / QA service, you simply reschedule, so the QA cost remains constant.

The answer is to show a variety of experience as opposed to an actual number of years experience. Put yourself in the position of an employer, who would you hire out of the following two candidates:

1. A candidate with five years testing experience, who has been testing the same product for five years.

2. A candidate who has two years experience, but has tested a wide range of software types and has experience in a range of testing approaches and techniques.

Any respectable employer will choose candidate number 2!

QA Tips - Negative Test Case Design

When a tester is in the process of designing a set of test cases against a given piece of functionality; typically, their first thought is to create positive test cases, i.e. ensure that the functionality does what it is supposed to do. But, a stage often missed in test case design, is ‘negative testing’. This approach is just as important as positive testing and widely argued as being more important.

Looking purely from a risk perspective, the chances are that some positive tests would have already been carried out by the developer prior to handing it over to the tester. Negative tests may, or may not have been a key consideration, and so there is potentially greater risk. There are some interesting observations made by testing professionals that can be found on the internet regarding negative testing. The most common observation is that a negative test will far more likely find a defect than a positive test will. A popular test case design approach is to ensure that for every positive test case created, there is also an equivalent negative test case created. However, a greater number of negative test cases than positive test cases is a more highly regarded approach.

The result of a positive test is often quite clear, as there is typically a known expected result for the tester to verify the software’s behavior against. For negative testing, the end result can often be unclear. For example; there may be a requirement that states that the software displays certain information after a user enters a valid password. For the test case designer, designing a positive test case for this simplistic scenario is a ‘no-brainer’. Designing a negative test case for this scenario is also a ‘no-brainer’.

The interesting part comes when we consider how many more negative test cases can be produced from such a simple piece of functionality. Without much thought, a test case designer should be able to come up with a large number of negative test cases based on that simple scenario alone. The tricky part comes when writing the expected results, as each negative test may well produce a different result, unlike that of the positive test case. At this stage it’s imperative for the test case designer to consult with the developers (or design documentation) to ensure that the expected results are in fact…..expected.

The goal of negative testing is to find issues where the software does not ‘gracefully’ handle unexpected situations. As the user experience is such a key factor in the design of software these days, the term ‘gracefully’ is somewhat subjective. Therefore the expected result of a negative test case must not only consider the functionality, but also what the end user’s experience will be.
