The field of testing exists already for some decenniums and although testing is starting to be recognized as a “branch” its value is still underestimated.
Fortunately the trend is heading for the right direction. More and more companies acknowledge that a structured test process will benefit costs and is actually time efficient, rather than a money and time consuming activity. By visiting this website you have already proven this.
What is testing and why is it so important?
Testing is a methodic process to demonstrate the abbreviations between the real working versus the expected working of the system or product. In other words, you create an overview of the quality of the system or product under test.
In today’s world we become progressively dependent on information technology systems. This makes our daily life easier and more convenient, but errors and mistakes can have much more fatal consequences. Due to these developments, a structured testing cycle becomes increasingly important every day.
Structured testing
There are multiple methodologies, each with their own vision to create an approach. Although these visions differ, they all use the same starting point: the V-model.
Within a structured test process defects can be found at an early stage, which means saving time and cost for your company. If a defect is found during the development phase, the fix will cost on an average about 8% extra. If a defect is found during the implementation phase, the fix will cost on an average about 20% extra and if the defect is found within production, the fix will cost on an average about 70% extra.
Communication
Poor communication within most companies is a big problem. Many mistakes could be prevented if the communication lines between the stakeholders are direct and efficient. Most organizations acknowledge this problem, but many IT-companies do not spend enough time solving it.
