Every bug found by a customer costs more than one found during development. A sensible testing strategy protects your reputation and saves money.
The main types of testing
- Unit tests check small pieces of code in isolation
- Integration tests check that components work together
- End-to-end tests simulate real user journeys
- User acceptance testing confirms the software meets business needs
Automate what you repeat
Automated tests run in minutes every time code changes, catching regressions before they reach users. Manual testing is still valuable for exploring new features.
Test with realistic data
Software that works with neat sample data can fail with real-world names, dates, currencies and large volumes. Use realistic, anonymised data where possible.
Make quality everyone's job
Testing is not only the tester's responsibility. Developers, product owners and business users all help define what working correctly means.
Testing is not a phase at the end of a project; it is a habit throughout. The result is software your users can trust.
