How QA Testing Benefits the Media Industry

/

If an industry is said to heavily rely on QA testing and technology, it is definitely the media industry. One might wonder why. Media industry is an industry that runs on high-end tools and latest technologies. And technology only keeps evolving. Quality plays an integral role in the world of technology, without a doubt. QA is way of preventing mistakes and defects in manufactured products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers. Hence, it is a critical step in the software development process. It makes sure that the quality of the product or project is no short of excellent. Now let us see why and how QA testing is important to the media industry. What is QA Testing? QA Testing is defined as an activity that ensures an organization is providing the best possible product or service to customers. QA focuses on improving the processes to deliver Quality Products to the customer. An organization has to ensure, that processes are efficient and effective as per the quality standards defined for software products. An organization uses QA to ensure that the product is designed and implemented with correct procedures. This helps reduce problems and errors, in the final product. QA tests focus on setting up adequate processes, introducing the standards of quality. As a result. it prevents error and flaws in the product. Bottom line is that QA testing mainly focuses on processes. It concentrates mainly on the quality of the product during or after the implementation of the software. How QA testing helps the media industry QA testing becomes one of the key competitive advantages that help to win over users exploiting competitors’ services for a long time. It goes without saying that a media platform with bugs and glitches is definitely on its path to failure. The media experience must be entertaining (which is its true purpose rather than stressful.

QA testing for fintech industry

/

Financial institutions have been attractive hacking targets for many years. This attention has not diminished with the addition of cloud and mobile technology. Quality plays an integral role in the world of technology, without a doubt. QA is way of preventing mistakes and defects in manufactured products. And avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers. Hence, it is a critical step in the software development process of Fintech industry. What is the FinTech industry? It is the technology that aims to compete with traditional financial methods. In the delivery of financial services. It is an emerging industry that uses technology to improve activities in finance. The use of smartphones  for mobile banking services, investing and cryptocurrency are examples of technologies aiming to make financial services more accessible to the general public. Everything from a consumer’s ability to go online and see their financial transactions to allowing you to pay friends to apps that pay bills. Consumers become savvier and more connected. Companies that succeed will be the ones that continue to successfully innovate in bringing new solutions to old problems. ​​​At its core, fintech is utilized to help companies, business owners and consumers. To better manage their financial operations, processes, and lives by utilizing specialized software and algorithms that are used on computers and, increasingly, smartphones. Fintech, the word, is a combination of “financial technology”. How QA Testing helps the FinTech industry FinTech firms deliver various services, together with equity funding, budgeting, banking, mobile payments, investments, and so on. All of these processes need accessibility, reliability, security, safety, among added features. The main purpose of software QA services and companies is to help to ensure that the Financial Technology products and applications are secure, reliable, and error-free There are a lot of expectations surrounding Fintech software. These applications have no room for errors. You can blame the sensitive nature of the information with which it works – mainly money and financial assets. While you are operating in Fintech services, there are risks that sometimes you cannot contemplate. Fintech firms deal with numerous sensitive data to process and serve. You need to have a secure, seamless, and powerful interface. There is no avoiding it at all. As stated already, QA focuses on preventing mistakes and defects in software. The goal is to achieve the best possible product during development to boost the quality of the result. It looks into development processes to check how efficient and effective they are and see if they are up to the quality standards defined for the final product.  QA services need to go beyond the mere look into the processes to ensure a great performance: they need to understand the potential vulnerabilities that may result. QA testing isn’t just about discovering bugs that may be already present in the Fintech software but rather about finding the underlying software development mechanisms that make them appear.  Conclusion FinTech companies should have a well defined QA testing program. It helps bring to light any areas that may need improvement. We at Qualysec here perform QA tests with our highly qualified and experienced team with the use of latest technology tools.

QA testing VS Penetration testing: Key Differences

/

In the field of testing, both QA testing VS Penetration testing hold their importance. However, they also have evident differences. Right from the purpose to methodologies, they differ. In this blog let us look at what these testing processes achieve and how they are different from each other. Definition – QA testing vs Penetration testing processes Quality plays an integral role in the world of technology, without a doubt. QA is a way of preventing mistakes and defects in manufactured products. And avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers. Hence, it is a critical step in the software development process. It makes sure that the quality of the product or project is no short of excellent. Penetration Testing is a type of security testing used to uncover vulnerabilities, threats, and risks that an attacker could exploit in software applications, networks, or web applications. The goal is to identify and test all possible security vulnerabilities that are present in the software application. It’s a given that it is quite important for website and app development. What are the differences between QA tests and pen tests? 1. Focus area QA tests focus on setting up adequate processes and introducing the standards of quality to prevent error and flaws in the product. The bottom line is that QA testing mainly focuses on processes. Pen testing is solely security-oriented and hence its main focus would be coding structures as to detect any loopholes.  Using penetration testing tools to expose holes in the security layer allows testers to address any shortcomings. Before they become critical liabilities, that is. To sum it up, the quality testing team will do software quality testing to check if it meets the quality standard prescribed by the organization or any standard it follows. It will assess whether the software meets the business requirements given by stakeholders. Whereas the penetration testing team will assess technical flaws in the application whether all validations are applied or not, and whether any attacker can circumvent the logical flow of software. 2. Time Testing is a very important part of the development process. It allows us to achieve the level of quality. Which in turn, enables the product to be released commercially. However, thoroughly going through every potential risk and covering it with test cases can take a long time. Although time varies depending on the complexity of the test case, as a rule of thumb, it takes a QA specialist approximately five minutes on average to execute one. The length of the penetration testing engagement depends on the type of testing, the type and number of systems, and any engagement constraints. Typical engagements have an average testing time of 1-3 weeks. 3. Types Some of the QA testing types are as follows: Some of the pen testing types are as follows: Conclusion We at Qualysec here perform penetration tests and QA tests with our highly qualified and experienced team with the use of the latest technology tools.
