Yearly, millions of dollars are saved by the implementation of software Testing. Comprehensive testing helps improve the overall quality of software by finding bugs.
Testbytes provides testing the way you want it to be – precise and comprehensive. Here is a video which showcases what Testbytes can offer you.
From this video you can clearly get an idea on the services provided by testbytes in the field of software testing. It throws light on several issues you may face as a software developer, which mounts due to lack of testing. In the video you can also see a couple of high-impact incidents from the recent past, where the absence of a testing protocol have culminated to give disastrous outcomes.
Watch the video below:
testbytes is a community of software testers who work with the goal of testing software. They help to create an in-depth understanding of the applications under test and include software testing strategies that deliver quantifiable results. They have helped development teams deliver best quality software on time.

Enjoy the benefits of reusing Test Cases with Testbytes
As a testing team, you might be used to writing test cases that are exclusively tied to single applications. Each and every time you want to test a new application, you start writing from scratch. After testing that particular application, you simply scrap the test that you worked hard to write. But is that actually necessary? At Testbytes, we have a huge repository of test cases from our rich experience across different clients and applications. This helps us to reuse standard test cases that can be used for repetitive development work items. In this way, our resources are able to save 20% on end to end testing efforts for the client.
How can Test Cases be reused?
What we do is quite simple. A lot many applications, while being different on the whole, will have features that are generic. For example, shopping carts are a constant in eCommerce applications. A test case written for one application’s shopping cart can invariably be reused with another application’s shopping cart. We also maintain utmost confidentiality while reusing the test cases and any proprietary information is not included in such an activity. The similarities increase as we go down to lower levels. There will be a lot of features that will be using the same functions or objects, making it a more specific test case.
So, instead of writing a test case for the application as a whole, we write test cases for individual features or rather for functions and objects. So, to test an entire application, we can link test cases for relevant features and write new test cases only for the features that are truly unique.
Advantages
More Effective – As test cases are being written for a specific function rather than the entire flow, attention is given to each function, making the test cases more effective.
Lowers Maintenance Costs – If a function changes in one of your products, then you just need to rewrite one test case rather than several test cases across your different products. Thus, your maintenance cost gets lowered.
Saves Time – There are lesser test cases to be written, which means you do not have to spend extra time rewriting the same function over and over again.
What is the role of Testbytes?
As mentioned earlier, Testbytes maintains a huge repository of test cases, and therefore can reuse a lot of test cases in most scenarios. This means a lot of effort and time are saved for the client. In fact, it would be a convenient method with a lot of cost, time and effort savings.
Why Is Independent Testing Necessary?
Development Team works with the mindset of “how to make this work?”. If the same developer is deployed to test the application then it becomes difficult for developers to detect any defect as they always worked with the thought of “how to make this work?”. A good tester works with the mindset of “how to break this?” and that’s what is required to test the application thoroughly. Owing to this fact, it becomes absolutely necessary for the application to be tested by an independent tester even for minor changes.
Here are 5 major reasons as to why independent testing is necessary and should be mandatory.
Reduced Cost
Quality testing requires automated testing techniques, which involves buying specialized tools. These tools are quite costly and it doesn’t make sense to buy them for a relatively small amount of testing. At times, you will have to test on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS, etc. There will be variations in the hardware too. Testing would happen in a series of highs and lows through the year. Maintaining the infrastructure throughout the year even during the low times is an unnecessary expense.
On the other hand, an independent testing company with focus on testing will definitely invest in quality tools, and it makes perfect sense for them to maintain the infrastructure all through the year. So, it is a convenient solution that reduces your expense.
Shorter Testing Time
In house testing usually happens at the last stages of development. This can be problematic, particularly if the development itself takes a little more time than initially thought. You have to make the most out of available time. For that, readily available testing resources with proper preparation are required. This can easily be availed from an independent testing company, and as a bonus, you might even get services such as our own “Develop by Day, Test at Night”, which makes brilliant use of the difference in time zones. In short, your testing process will be a lot faster and comprehensive than when it is done in house.
Improved Quality
Independent testing companies are fully dedicated to testing products thoroughly. They bring a lot of technical expertise long with them. And, unlike in-house testers, they would be reporting bugs at the right time as it is a matter of reputation for the company. As the client, you would want the product to be as bug-free as possible, and the independent testing company would want to prove their efficiency by reporting more bugs. Also, the company would probably test your product against quality standards set by regulatory bodies, helping your sales process to be smooth.
Experience and Expertise
An independent testing company is a bunch of testers, who would keep up with the latest tools, techniques and trends. This would not be possible if you hire an in-house tester. These people would interact with each other and share ideas. Hence a seemingly undetected problem in-house might be uncovered by an independent testing company within no time. Also, as they are dealing with testing on a regular basis the employees of the testing company will have the know-how to operate on different testing tools.
Convenience
You don’t need to worry about maintaining a testing team in-house, or when your product testing will be complete. An independent testing company will provide you with deadlines. Your tester might fall sick at the most inconvenient time or might suddenly decide to leave the company. All such issues won’t bother you when outsourcing testing. It provides you the space and convenience to focus on your core area – development.
So, if convinced that outsourcing testing is the way to go, you might want to check out our amazing testing team. We have 1 week FREE TestDrive service that helps you find out how good we are.
