Everyone makes mistakes!

Everyone makes mistakes, and when it comes to software, errors can be critical. Software testing is crucial to catch these errors early. If you do not then it can be costly as well as disastrous for your brand.

Some recent software failures:

  • A global business in the catering field lost $3million due to a POS software issue. 

  • A well known car brand had to recall nearly 1.3 Million vehicles due to a glitchy unit control software that wouldn't update. At a mere cost of $300 per car this could equate to close to $400Million

  • Not immune was a supermarket chain who it is estimated to have lost $43M in a problematic software implementation failure earlier this year. 


What is software testing:

Software testing and Quality Assurance is like having a second pair of eyes to check for workflow issues, mistakes as well as bugs that may occur. It ensures that the software works as expected but also includes ensuring your clients and customers build trust in your brand and the products and software you are associated with. 


Why should a business ensure that all releases are tested::

  1. Cost and embarrassment savings: From the above examples it can be seen that getting it right is very important. In our opinion testing internally is not adequate to cover all the bases.

  2. Ensure the software works as you intended.

  3. Ensure it integrates with what you already have.

  4. It's cheap insurance. Get independent eyes on your situation and don't simply rely on the developers to tell you it's working. Trust but verify!

  5. Customer Satisfaction


Independent software testing is not just about finding bugs; it's a comprehensive process ensuring high-quality applications, trust and client satisfaction. 


It's about making sure your software works (and not looking a little foolish along the way! )
