Introduction
Software development is not just about developing an application or software. Still, it requires rigorous testing to ensure that the product is completely free from any sorts of bugs, defects, system glitches or any loopholes in the interface. Therefore, Quality assurance in software testing is not just important but necessary before releasing or launching a mobile or website-based application.
Software Testing is the developed application tested for its functions, specifications, features, and performance on a range of mobile devices or tablet devices with various operating systems under different testing environments. Several software tests are necessary to observe the behaviour of your application concerning its specifications.
Testing can either be done by the in–house testing department of the organization itself, or companies can outsource them from quality assurance firms such as Hike QA in the absence of a dedicated testing team that strives towards perfection.
