Agile Testing Services

Kualitatem believes in quality and precision in technology and software, and we work to achieve it as an agile testing company. Relying on the modern, sophisticated, and ever-evolving technologies and the expertise of our skilled team, we lead the way in agile testing services.   

Being a core part of agile software development, agile methodology testing begins at the very start of the project, even before development has started in order to pursue efficiency with agility. Sometimes known as continuous testing, agile testing goes hand in hand with development work and provides an ongoing feedback loop into the development process.

Agile testing has evolved to a level where testers are no longer a separate organizational unit (that is QA department) but they operate as a part of the agile development team. Thus, in an agile development team, everyone is responsible for testing with no dedicated QA engineers, however, there are test specialists that work closely with developers throughout the software development cycle.

In a highly competitive software environment and technology market, the development and testing teams are always on their toes. The companies that work for a competitive edge and quality products simultaneously tend to make sure that the development and testing processes go hand in hand and the issues addressed as they arise. Agile software testing requires the developers and testers to work parallel in order to produce excellent results. 

Some of the benefits of agile testing include:

• Faster project completion 
• Resolution of bugs and issues as they arise 
• The liberty to add or delete certain features as and when needed 
• Quality product delivered

Agile software testing methodologies are imperative to survive the competition and deliver the end product that satisfies the end-user. There are various ways to go about it. Companies either set up their own agile testing teams or outsource the services to an agile testing company. While it may seem feasible to have agile testing services managed in-house, it is not all that practical. Agile testing is a tedious and carefully managed process that takes time, and it is better to outsource these services to reap the full benefits of the agile testing methodologies.
