Why Quality Testing is Critical to Success?

Businesses are often restrained by pressures on many sides. Increasing need to keep costs down and improving output levels with less than what they had before is not an easy task. When under pressure, It is often too easy to get carried away with the temptation to compromise quality, And that always end in tears.

Be the change you seek.

If and When Quality Standards are set high in an organisation, and in projects from the begining, and maintained throughout, there are many benefits to be reaped by everyone.

It is not easy to hold people accountable for the standards set. But, that is what standards are for and leadership is all about.

In a software business, faster development, lower levels of stress and ease of adding new features and functionalities, are some of these benefits your developers get to enjoy as a reward when you set high quality standards.

It is also important to note that, when delivering uncompromised software quality is considered as the only option, your teams may end up focusing too much on defect free software than releasing a feature rich app.

An intricate balance to be achieved between Quality testing and Usability of the features to achieving outcomes for the business.
