How To Test Your New Software Successfully

Software Testing
(Luis Gomes)

Software developing is tough, complicated and stressful work. Once you have finally finished developing the software, you will be eager to launch, but the work is not quite finished yet. Instead, you need to undertake vigorous testing to ensure that the software works properly and that there are no bugs. You certainly do not want users complaining as soon as you have launched, so software testing is an essential step and one which should help you to deliver software that satisfies your target user and allows you to develop a positive reputation. Here is how to test your new software successfully.

Functionality Testing

Functionality testing involves checking that each button on each screen works as it should so that a user can easily use the software. It is also a smart idea to enter simple text into any fields to make sure that it does not crash the software.

Code Reviewing

It is often the coding where the problems with software arise, so this is an area that needs careful review. As any developer knows, it can be difficult to review your own coding, having spent so long on it, which is why it is always best to opt for a peer review so that you can get a fresh set of eyes on the code.

End-To-End Testing

It is also worth using the services of an end-to-end software testing specialist, such as Digivante Solutions. They will be able to test all areas of the software to identify bugs, issues and weak points before you launch so that you can make essential improvements and provide peace of mind for when the time comes to launch.

User Testing

User testing will involve finding end-users to come in and test your application. This is often a highly effective way to isolate bugs, which can otherwise be hard to find and to find ways in which you can make adjustments to improve the user experience. These are the people who you are designing the software for, after all.

PEN Testing

Pen testing, or penetration testing, is important for ensuring that your software is secure and protected against outside threats. It involves ethical hacking so that any vulnerabilities can be uncovered and fixed before launching. This is important in a time where cybercrime is a rapidly growing problem and is something that all developers need to consider.

Documentation Testing

With so much focus placed on the actual software, it is very easy to forget about the accompanying documentation, but this is vital for explaining to users the purpose of the software and how it can be installed and used. All documentation needs to be thoroughly tested and proofread to ensure that it will be of value to users.

These are the main steps to take when testing your software prior to launch. This is a critical stage for identifying any potential issues, so you will want to be thorough and take the time to make sure that your software is up to the required standard to impress your target user.
