TAAS — A NEXT GEN ON-DEMAND QA SERVICE

 I need to release software faster.

I need to do end-to-end testing and quick turnarounds.
I need to avoid overhead infrastructure costs for testing my application.
I have testers with limited business domain knowledge. What should I do?
My in-house testers are bored of repetitive testing — it’s a time drain!

You have 2 options — Choose traditional testing or go for Testing as a Service (TaaS).

With Traditional Testing, the team of testers works internally on every product release, identifies issues, goes back to the development team with the list of defects, and the dev team needs to fix the issues. And this is a do-die-repeat cycle for every release till all the defects get resolved. Scalability to changing requirements is nil, and it’s slow with inefficiencies and delays. Conventional software testing also incurs high capital costs such as expenditure on hardware, software, and its maintenance, Hiring the right resources?

Applications are becoming too complex for the traditional testing methods. They are time-consuming and lack necessary new-age technological skill sets. With every organization embracing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies, CI/CD model, Agile and DevOps practices across all domains, the push for high-quality product releases through rapid release cycles are at an all-time high.

The solution — You need Testing as a Service (TaaS) — also known as an On-Demand testing service — to help you scale with agility and overcome the typical traditional testing bottlenecks.

So what exactly is TaaS?

Testing as a Service is a supplement to traditional testing that allows the test team to focus on higher-value activities like defect resolution, quality analysis, etc. It creates test cases and test scripts and keeps them up-to-date.
As the demand for quality assurance and testing automation increased exponentially, TaaS has garnered attention in the software testing world and is being used with more enthusiasm than before, as the underlying AI systems are being increasingly validated by the industry.

On-demand testing is suitable when your team is in any of these testing scenarios:

• You have dynamic and scalable testing needs
• You need end-to-end testing services with the latest tools and technologies like Intelligent Test Automation and Machine Learning to deliver high-quality results
• You need to save enormous amounts of time in diagnosing and Defect Triaging
• You need only a fragment of testing to be done on your applications
• You have complex application infrastructure requirements like cross browser, cross device testing
• You need niche testing skills with a quick turnaround

The Perks of embracing on-demand services

In today’s digitally empowered world, your business depends on your customer’s experience. One bad experience and it can turn off the customer from your application and you could lose — your customer, your reputation, your credibility — literally everything is at stake! To provide a great customer experience, you need a high-quality defect free product that encompasses everything that a customer needs.

You can’t have a perfect defect-free application that loads at a snail’s pace. You would still lose out on your customer! You need to cover it all — not just the functionality aspect, but also non-functional aspects like load, performance, and security. And that’s how high the testing standards need to be to ensure end-to-end testing that gives a superior customer experience!!

According to Cognizant’s report, the primary reason cited for optimization was to improve product quality, and the primary means to achieve optimization was to partner with an independent testing service provider. Read More about : TaaS
