There is no doubt that successful software testing makes the difference between releasing a product that meets your customers’ requirements and one that doesn't. Even with the ever increasing pressure to deliver products to market in shorter and shorter time frames, no company can afford to skip the software testing process and release poor quality software. Nowadays an effective software testing process is the best investment you can make in ensuring the quality of each and every product you release.
So, whilst many projects and companies are wrestling with the swamp that surrounds implementing their own bespoke software testing process, the smart companies are taking a proven off the shelf process and implementing it with the help of our free, open source software testing tool. Implementing a clear testing process has never been easier.
Whether you are implementing a new software testing process or enhancing your existing software testing process it is essential to work with your company existing development process. Yet regardless of the existing development process, whether it is RAD, Waterfall or something even more exotic, the software testing process fundamentals will never change. Those testing fundamentals include planning, designing,
defining and executing tests against the software. QaTraq software testing tool is the software that gives you control over all these key software testing fundamentals, greatly enhancing your influence and command over the quality of each and every release.
