From design to implementation
Test engineering is a discipline within software engineering that focuses on the design, development and implementation of tests to maximize the quality and functionality of software applications. Test engineers, also known as software testers, play a crucial role in the software development life cycle by detecting errors, ensuring that the software meets specified requirements and verifying that the software works as intended.
Specialized professionals in software testing offer you insight into the operation of your software. Before your customers and/or users run into problems.
Designing test cases
Thinking about what is important to test, tuning the test set and defining the test cases. All important steps to achieving a good test. It is based on your information, proper techniques and a generous dose of exploration.
Automating test cases
Testing everything (repeatedly) manually is impossible. Automation can be a solution. Our test specialists work with you to determine to what extent test cases can be automated and which tool can be used for this purpose. We choose to be tool independent in order to use the best suited tooling for your situation.
Performing test cases
While running test cases, the tester pays close attention to the behavior of the system: does it conform to expectations? Are there any standouts? A note is made of behavior that is wrong or suspicious, possibly after consultation with others, such as developers and software users. Everything is aimed at finding faults before commissioning.
Analysing test results
The Polteq test specialist will draw a picture of the quality of the system based on the actual test results, supplemented by his own opinion, and indicate whether sufficient tests have been performed to create a reliable picture. All with the goal of giving you the necessary assurances that your software is working properly.
