May - 2015 issue >  20 Most Promising QA and Software Testing Companies  

The beauty of software development is that it is not a one way road. By implementing proper software testing methodologies, you can travel back at any time during development to improve the software’s quality by detecting defects and estimating reliability. Turning a blind eye to quality assurance (QA) would precipitate a bad reputation or worse sink the business, since untested software could result in hefty maintenance cost, frustrating support and superfluous bugs. Hence, in today’s technology dependent era, software testing is not an option.

Quality and reliability has emerged as an integral part of most organization’s culture. Resultantly, customers are relishing reduced software application errors, improved security and application performance. Recent studies showcase that most organizations are allocating over 40 percent of their IT budget towards QA and software testing domains. In fact, testing budget allocated for new software development initiatives is gradually overtaking budgets that are usually reserved for software maintenance projects.

On one hand, with sheer focus on cost optimization, CXOs are crying out for software testers who are proficient enough to align the testing project with organization’s business goals to increase bottom line as well. On the other hand, the dawn of new technologies akin to IoT and the plethora of challenges they have brought along, have certainly raised the bar for innovation.
