Quality assurance

In a good development team, different testing and measuring procedures are used at various points in the project in order to detect problems and weak points promptly and to implement suitable solutions.

Within the scope of quality assurance for application and software development, various test procedures are available.

Performance Test

For a positive user experience, very good performance is one of the most important criteria. This can be an API interface, a web application or a classic application.

Long waiting times and sluggish applications in, for example, an ordering process or feedback via an API interface are increasingly rated as negative by users.

Regular and early performance tests within software development ensure the following requirements:

Quickly build pages in a web application
High-performance processing and feedback via networked API interfaces
High failure and system security as well as operating time also on hardware level

Load test

Another important component for quality assurance in software development is a targeted load test. On the one hand the behavior of the hardware used is measured, on the other hand the overall performance between application or module in connection with the hardware used under load.

Nowadays every millisecond counts. Web visitors in particular are very impatient and leave a website or order process very quickly if it takes too long.

With a specific load test the following aspects are guaranteed:

Testing of server systems and network components. Ensures that they react quickly and reliably even with high system loads.
Testing with mobile systems such as tablets or smartphones. This enables the system load to be evaluated in a meaningful way.
Internal and external API interfaces are included in the load test to evaluate the user experience.

User Acceptance Testing

In order to evaluate the usability and the quality of a software adequately, a further and very common test procedure is available. As one of the last steps in the development phase, a UAT (User Acceptance Test) should be performed regularly.

Here, for example, a development team or real users are asked to use the product under real conditions and test its usability. This allows errors and deficiencies to be detected at an early stage and the functionality to be compared with the business requirements. Developers and programmers can then use the results to develop appropriate solutions and make corrections.

User Acceptance Testing ensures the following:

Complete range of functions: Have all desired functions been considered in the development?
Optimum usability: Is the application, website or module easy to use and understandable for the user?
High performance: Were the development specifications implemented in a high-performance manner without creating a system load that was too high overall?
Sufficient acceptance: Is the product accepted by the customer consistently?
