Why Is Quality Assurance the Key to Success in Startup Projects?

QA for startups is a basic stage of achieving goals and conquering markets. Let's consider why.

Development Efficiency

01
The absence of errors and the speed of corrections help speed up product development and release.

Attracting Investments

02
Investors trust startups that invest time and resources in testing because this is a strong indicator of readiness for successful implementation.

Building Reputation

03
Quality is a key factor in building trust among users and industry players.

Reduction Of Risks

04
Quality software testing for startups helps identify potential risks and issues that arise after the product is released.

Increasing Competitiveness

05
Startups that focus on quality enter the market with a product that stands out from the rest.

Cost Reduction

06
In the context of QA for startups, identifying and correcting problems early in development helps avoid costly fixes in the future.

Expansion Of The User Base

07
Quality products attract more users and expand the customer base.

Long-Term Success

08
Quality testing helps build a product that can compete and grow for years.

Features of the Field of Startup

Software testing for startups has its characteristics since startups operate in a fast-paced and dynamic environment with limited resources.
Rapid Product Development And Release
Startups often build products in a short time frame. Given this urgency, software testing for startup companies must be fast and efficient, ensuring the product can reach the market quickly without compromising quality.

Change in requirements and functionality
In the early stages of development, a startup can experience significant changes in product requirements and functionality. QA specialists should be ready for change, adapt quickly, and make timely suggestions for requirements improvement.

Interaction with other systems and services
Many startups integrate with other systems and third-party services, so testing for compatibility and interoperability is necessary.

Workflow

Since startups are usually characterized by limited resources and a fast pace of work, the QA for startups must be efficient and focused on key aspects of the product.

Requirements Analysis And Testing Planning

01
  • Carefully analyze the functional requirements for the product.
  • Develop a test strategy and test plan, defining the scope and purpose of each type of test.
  • Develop a mechanism for responding to changes in requirements and distinguish stable aspects and those subject to correction.
  • Establish communication with the team and determine with whom controversial points regarding bugs are discussed.
  • Define testing priorities.

Development Of Test Scenarios

02
  • Create test scenarios and test cases based on requirements and test plan.
  • Develop templates for documentation so that it takes less time.
  • Consider the specific characteristics of a startup, such as innovativeness, ground-breaking features, and possible volatility.
  • Determine which types of documents are mandatory and which may be optional.

Performing Tests

03
  • Develop automated tests for sustainable functionality and perform manual and automated testing to verify functionality, component interoperability, and product security.
  • Detect and fix errors and defects in the product's operation.
  • Test on different platforms and devices important to your target audience.

Testing In Real-User Conditions

04
  • Engage pre-release audience or beta testers to test in real user environments.

Product Release

05
  • After successful completion of testing, prepare the product for market launch.

Continuous Testing And Optimization

06
  • Continue to test and improve the product based on user feedback and business development.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Software Testing for Startups do you provide?

We offer E2E, regression, functional, usability testing, design testing, security testing, performance testing, and other types, depending on the specifics of your project.

How do I determine the scope of Testing for my Startup?

We recommend always conducting regression and E2E testing, creating documentation, and checking usability. Additional steps are determined by the app type and your requirements.
We recommend hiring an QA architect first to design the testing structure, followed by a Manual tester for regression testing and test case writing. As stable features emerge, consider bringing in an Automation specialist. Work hours and team size depend on the project's scope.

Can Testing help a Startup save money?

Thus, identifying and correcting errors in the early stages of development prevents the costs of correcting problems in an already-released product.
Let's consider an e-commerce startup scenario:
The email input field doesn't check for an "@" character or a period. It's easy to make a typo, and certainly, someone will enter the address incorrectly.
Fixing this problem during acceptance testing or regression testing will cost approximately $10 (based on developer and tester time).
Suppose such a problem is fixed in production or later in development. In that case, the developer will need more time to find the specific code, update the product specifications, and justify the need for such changes. That's not counting the 5-20% loss of contact with customers who entered their email address incorrectly.
So we have a choice between spending $10 now and $80 in the future and potentially losing $5,000+ in lost customers.
