Cigniti Software Testing-Quality driven

HYDERABAD, India - April 3, 2013 - PRLog -- While the global economy is driven by IT, the IT industry itself is haunted by the threat of software malfunction in the wake of catastrophic losses encountered by major corporations due to defects in the software. Remember the famous Facebook IPO fiasco with the NASDAQ’s systems and the more recent NatWest glitch. Glitches are inevitable and bound to happen as global enterprises increasingly rely on IT to streamline their business processes. Imagine the impact on human lives when such defects leak into deployments in critical areas like Health care and scientific research.

Software Quality assurance is now being viewed as an essential parameter for decision making. When corporate commitments including investments of capital, work hours, infrastructure and releases are at stake, the visibility of quality status is crucial to drive projects in the right direction. Since testing involves a comprehensive assessment of the applications and IT systems, a refined reporting mechanism that operates 24/7 with minimal human supervision can go a long way in identifying pain points.  The model helps enterprises take steps to eliminate or treat performance bottle necks, compatibility issues and loopholes for unauthorized entry.

The underlying philosophy is that, the knowledge of defects is essential to develop/refine an IT system. Being outside the ambit of the enterprises, Independent software testing service providers play the role of an unbiased observer and counselor. Testing demands a methodical approach backed by meticulous verification and validation. Add these assessments to quality parameters of the enterprise and there emerges a quality assurance system.
