Automated Software Testing

Automated software testing is core business of Verhas & Verhas Software Craftsmen. The service is delivered as 3rd party testing. About the principles of 3rd party testing watch the following video.

This presentation is about third party testing. But what is third party testing? You usually do not deal with software in more detail than using it. You have your own business that you are expert in, and you buy software to use it. You buy it to use it.

When you buy a software, do you have to test it? Is that want you want?

No.

What you want is to use the software to support your business and at the end of the line: make money.

However, if you do not test the software how do you ensure that the software you use is bug free and delivers value to you not only today, but also tomorrow and the coming years when you start to use some of the advanced features of it? How can you be sure that the software will fit your business needs? Do you believe the promises of vendors marketing documents? When the market and your business develops you will need new version of the software. Does it mean total testing again? Should you test features that already exist and you have been using them for years? Or can you assume that they still work in the new version of the software? You bet your business on that decision. And after all: why should you care so much about testing? Is software testing your core business? You want to focus on your core business and leave testing to us. Our core business is software testing and we focus on that.

Therefore we offer third party testing.

• It removes the burden of testing from your shoulder.
• It delivers quality to testing process. And quality is what testing is all about, isn't it?
• It guarantees that software fits your business needs.
• It ensures the quality level of the software you purchased or developed.

But why is it called third party? What is the magic in it? Why is it any better than if the vendor who delivers the software tests it for me?

In the business structure there are you. There is the vendor, who delivers the software. And finally we are also there for you to test the software. You contract us to build up the testing of the software and execute the tests for you.

How does it work in practical terms?

Testing is developed and executed by engineers, who are expert in software testing. The test or the tests are fully automated. Therefore there is no real extra cost to execute regression tests. Before you install a new version of the software all the tests that were probed against the old version should run against the new version. It is as simple as pressing a button on a web page. And really in practice it is nothing more than pressing a button on a web page. Since the tests are automated and controlled from web pages, the result of the test execution shows business level results that can easily be understood by business people, not only technical experts.

And because it is third party testing there is no reason to hide or so to say “work around” a bug no matter how tight the delivery date for the software vendor is. The bugs will be recorded by us, published to you and the software vendor, and the vendor will fix them. The bottom line is that the quality of the software you use increases, and therefore the costs decrease.

Finally, you get better business.
