'Four Rs' of Software Quality Assurance
IT organizations must adopt a focused approach and a comprehensive methodology for end-to-end testing. In a SearchSoftwareQuality.com blog, Infosys' expert identifies 'four Rs' in software quality assurance:
Risk: Risk-based testing helps quantify and mitigate risks in the lifecycle of applications, and prioritize tests more effectively.
Return on Investment: Automation improves ROI of testing significantly. In addition, environment optimization and reducing dependencies maximize the Return on Investment early in the application lifecycle.
Regulations: The focus of regulatory compliance is on safeguarding the privacy of customers. Independent verification and validation services are required in a landscape where different entities within the enterprise may be responsible for regulation and compliance.
Rich customer experience: Tools for 'eye-capturing', early code, and prototyping enable early testing of usability, flexibility and accessibility of software.
Our expert also mentions the shift from User Interface to end-to-end testing with distributed, multi-tier architectures in Service-Oriented Architecture and unique approaches to ERP testing.
