Software testing is a quality assurance software practice that implies testing that the functionality of a given web application works as intended or as required. Testing allows you to find bugs at any time, before a launch or on a day-to-day basis.

Testing is an essential part of successful software development. Whenever there is a change in code, no matter how small, errors can appear elsewhere in the system. The cost of correcting these errors also increases over time, so having effective web testing will ensure that you save time and money when developing an application.

Test automation offloads these routine and repetitive test tasks from humans to machines. The tests compare the actual results with the expected results. This approach can help find errors in specific operations and simple use cases (e.g., login, create a new account, reset passwords).

By automating testing, testers can save effort and time on monotonous tasks as automated tests can run uninterruptedly or even be arranged at intervals. By relieving testers or “testers” of these time-consuming tasks, they can focus on exploratory tests or other tests that require a human perspective.

Test automation enables software robots to perform repetitive tasks and emulate end-user interaction with the system under test to increase the scope, depth, and reliability of quality assurance efforts.

Still, we shouldn't think of automation as a system that doesn't require human intervention. Effective automation requires testers to have a deep understanding of the software under test, as well as an "automation first" mindset.

QAlified is the best option for software testing. It is an expert Uruguayan company in software testing. Software testing is one of the most important and essential tasks in the development of a software project, since it is in charge of establishing the tools, processes and work methods required to guarantee the quality of any development. However, many companies have trouble understanding software testing as an investment.

In order to detect any errors in time and guarantee that the product complies with all the established premises, there must be tests in all project phases: from the survey of customer requirements to the delivery of the final product, including each follow-up meeting. Furthermore, a project that lacks this process in all its phases ends up generating a higher economic cost and greater effort during the testing phase. Therefore, testing services such as those provided by QAlified are essential for a successful software project.

Among testing services, we can find from functional tests and performance tests to localization tests, automated tests, regression tests, manual tests, quality control tests and more. Likewise, companies like QAlified, who are fully dedicated to providing this type of service work directly with the client and manage the entire test life cycle, from requirement recollection, test plan and cases reparation, report preparation, analysis and closing of tests.

When it comes to web application tests, we can find for a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Linux, macOS, etc., in order to guarantee their security, compatibility, stability, functionality and quality. Each quality control test is aimed at verifying elements such as syntax errors, cookies, links, forms, navigation, database, etc., which guarantee that the application runs without problems in all browsers, operating systems and more.

From a single page static website to a complex one, proper testing is essential to ensure its accuracy. This is accomplished through interface testing, usability testing, compatibility testing, database testing, crowd testing, security testing, and GUI testing, among others.

Regarding mobile application testing, these services are designed to test native and hybrid iOS and Android applications, on different mobile devices, models, operating systems, networks, locations, etc. Leveraging knowledge of the latest tools and frameworks, QA analysts and testers can test various mobile app components, such as functions, audio, sequence, visuals, and more, on a real device to further ensure their performance and precision. More precisely, mobile application testing services include memory testing, installation testing, operational testing, conformance testing, accessibility testing, and cloud-based testing. In addition, to ensure that the applications work correctly and according to customer expectations, they must be tested on a variety of devices and global operators.

When hiring a company to obtain application testing services, it is necessary to take into account that the company has sufficient experience, uses agile methodologies and offers competitive prices. Also, it is essential that it be flexible enough to adapt specifically to customer requirements.

QAlified fulfills all these requirements. The company has offices in the United States, in California and in Uruguay, in Montevideo.
