Dominic Bernacchi
COO / Global Managing Director
I hired ScienceSoft to perform stress testing of our software. The team at ScienceSoft built a solid platform for stressing out servers, and it helped us uncover a variety of bugs and revisions that needed to built to our code. The team at ScienceSoft is professional and organized in every way possible. I look forward to working with this team again.

Note: QA and testing services differ in the scope of activities involved. Software quality assurance (QA) is a process that may cover all stages of SDLC, from requirements gathering to maintenance, and ensures the software meets the established quality standards. Being a part of QA, testing is aimed to check software's functional, performance, security, and other aspects. For more details, you can check the article by ScienceSoft’s Senior QA Consultant. |

KPIs to Measure Testing Progress & Team Performance
We tailor KPI suites for each testing project with regard to its specifics (development methodology, the architecture of software under test, applicable testing types, etc.).
A typical KPI suite may include:
|
|
Percentage of software requirements covered by test cases. |
|
|
Average and total number of created test cases. |
|
|
Average and total number of updated test cases. |
|
|
Number of executed test cases (for projects with development and testing going in parallel, this metric includes test cases planned for the current iteration and regression tests). |
|
|
Average and total number of found defects. |
|
|
Effort variance (the ratio between actual and estimated testing efforts). |
|
|
Percentage of issues reported by software users or found during user acceptance testing (for projects with development and testing going in parallel). |
