Although software testing is accompanied by the development of software development, in today's rapidly changing information technology, software testing is gradually out of the positioning of development accessories.
On the one hand, many large enterprises have set up a special test team internally to undertake the testing of software systems and check the quality of products. On the other hand, some third-party software testing laboratories or institutions specializing in software evaluation have come into being, injecting new endogenous impetus into the software testing industry. Can an in-house testing team replace a third-party software evaluation agency?
1. What is a third-party software testing agency?
Third-party software testing agencies belong to the subdivision of the third-party testing industry, which is different from software developers or demanders, specializing in software testing, such as performance testing, functional testing, security testing, compatibility testing, etc. The purpose of establishing a third-party software testing agency is to ensure the objectivity of the conclusions of the measured software.
Second, the company's testers can replace professional software testing agencies?
The answer is no, the areas and roles to which the two apply are not consistent, and they have the following differences:
(1) In terms of test objects
The test team set up by the software development company or the Internet is to verify the quality of the software produced by the company's developers, and the testing service of the specialized software testing agency is the software product written by the company outside the organization.
(2) In terms of professional qualifications
The test team set up by the software development company does not have the testing qualifications, as long as it is carried out according to the requirements of the superior or the test specification. The regular software testing institutions have CMA and CNAS qualifications, which can be recognized internationally and domestically.
(3) In terms of test conclusions
The software company's internal test team may not be able to fully detect the problems affecting the quality of the software due to technology, test tools, test experience, etc., and the test report cannot strive for fairness. Third-party software testing institutions such as Zhuoma Software Evaluation can issue objective and authoritative software test reports in accordance with contracts, technical standards, laws and regulations because they have no direct interests with software development companies.
3. How to charge for performance testing in Beijing?
The performance testing fees of various third-party software testing institutions are not completely consistent, and different regions have different prices. Generally, the quotation is provided according to the customer's software testing needs workload or test function points. Specific performance test charges can be consulted Zhuo code evaluation, the first time to get the quotation information.
