Relooking Objectives of Quality Assurance & Testing

The coronavirus pandemic has brought in seismic shifts as organizations have been forced to adapt to operating completely remotely while still achieving their effective business outcomes. All organizations irrespective of size and scale faced challenges and headwinds to the way they operate, develop and service their customers. These happenings have though ensured that testing takes a more critical role than ever before, and the new shift towards digitalization is ensuring that customer experience and quality take the top most importance in the IT strategies in companies. It becomes pertinent to focus on the essential testing objectives that are being considered as important by various organizations.

1. Test Agility

With rampant adoption of Agile methodologies, testing is emerging as the weakest and slowest link of the product lifecycle. Most companies still use traditional tools and automation techniques that are obsolete and cannot keep pace with the fast-changing product landscape. Companies are forced to add more resources and efforts in getting their testing objectives met within every sprint.

2. Collaboration for Quality

With physically dispersed teams, enabling all team members to collaborate and enable them to drive the quality is another top challenge that industries are facing. The testing artifacts and the associated tooling’s start taking a more critical role in deciding whether quality becomes a collaborative exercise or lies concentrated in the hands of only the testers.

3. Business Impact and User Experience

Quality has become one of the core contributing factor to realizing business growth and its desired outcomes. In today’s hyper connected and communicative world, feedback about any application however good or bad takes no time in getting disseminated, and likely influencing client perception amongst existing as well as future clientele.

4. Automation

Test automation is a misnomer in most companies. In such companies’ automation is used and represents only the execution activity. Rest of the testing activities like test design, test case development and test script creation and maintenance are still done manually, and likely with obsolete tools and processes. It’s no wonder that for most agile teams, same sprint automation is a mirage. This aspect will be covered in detail in one of our subsequent blog post.
