One of the most important characteristics of the current turbulent digital transformation landscape is the speed at which things happen. In order to meet user demands, and therefore business demands, development times for business applications have been exponentially reduced.

However, apart from the delivery speed, other parameters such as security, error control and user experience should not be forgotten. For that, software testing provided by companies such as QAlified can be essential for a business´ success.

Traditionally, there have been functional test solutions capable of managing the entire application life cycle, from requirements to test plans, execution, and error or defect detection. There were also automation tools that supported them and that tested the applications´ functionality in a multitude of environments.

But the quality of the applications is no longer managed from cascade or V projects, as it used to be. Agile methodologies and automation have appeared, applied not just to testing, but to the entire application lifecycle.

From the testing point of view, QAlified aims to automate the entire process, from taking the requirement to execution and validation, and for both functional, integration or load areas, as well as those related to security.


The company aims for the entire life cycle, also the one related to security, to be embedded from the beginning in the testing phases, whether they are unit, regression, validation, loading or integration.

In fact, their solutions offer possibilities such as generating a test skeleton without even having the application mockup, and then assigning the modules and functions already created to the testing tools to start automation in this area as well.

Other elements that must be taken into account are those related to the execution of the tests. Setting up an environment, validating it, running the tests and cleaning it up again to start another run is a handicap when it comes to being agile. At this point there are solutions that help to provision environments automatically, run those tests, and “de-provision” the environment unattended.

This is where technologies that QAlified integrates come in. This can be especially interesting, for example, to launch load tests from different locations.

The main idea is, within the life cycle of the solutions´ development, to speed up the testing process as much as possible and to integrate it hand in hand with agile methodologies, and to automate everything that is possible, always supporting the majority of environments, technologies and devices on the market.

When it is not possible to include agile methodology, it is possible to opt for solutions to help manual tests. Without becoming an automation, it complements manual work with tools such as video recording of the processes to be able to document them more easily, or even do it in text mode so that this process can be automated using the script that has been run.

Proper management of this entire application cycle is increasingly important. Right now, organizations are very exposed to the end user, who constantly interacts with organizations through mobile or web applications. Any failure related to quality or safety not only translates into a business problem, but also leads to bad reputation, which also spreads virally.

These kinds of things force the quality cycles to be more and more exhaustive, but this does not have to paralyze the agility that is needed in every business. Businesses want to know how satisfied the customers are with their application.

They may assume that they will work correctly, but they want to be sure. In this context, solutions provided by QAlified allows to adequately monitor the quality experience perceived by all users who are using a certain application.
