由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Testing software applications is a crucial step to ensure quality, functionality, and user satisfaction. However, testing can also be challenging, time-consuming, and expensive, especially for small teams or startups with limited resources. How can you test your software effectively without breaking the bank or compromising on quality? Here are some strategies to help you out.

1 Prioritize your test cases

Not all test cases are equally important or urgent. You should prioritize your test cases based on the risk, impact, and frequency of the features or functions you are testing. For example, you can use a matrix to rank your test cases from high to low priority, and focus on the ones that have the most potential to affect your users, your business goals, or your security. You can also use tools like MoSCoW or Kano to help you prioritize your test cases based on user needs and expectations.

Leverage user data to guide testing. Analyze behavior flows and pain points to replicate and stress test high-impact journeys. This reveals flaws users actually experience. It also ensures limited testing budgets have outsized impact.

2 Automate what you can

Manual testing can be tedious, error-prone, and slow. Automating some of your test cases can save you time, money, and effort, and allow you to test more frequently and consistently. You can use tools like Selenium, Cucumber, or TestNG to automate your functional, regression, or integration tests. However, automation is not a silver bullet. You should still perform some manual testing to check for usability, accessibility, or design issues that automation might miss. You should also maintain and update your automation scripts regularly to avoid technical debt.

I agree, but repetitive test cases or functionalities should be automated. This allow testers to focus on the complex scenarios.

3 Use cloud-based testing platforms

Testing your software on different browsers, devices, and operating systems can be costly and complex. You might not have access to all the hardware or software configurations that your users might use. Cloud-based testing platforms can help you overcome this challenge by providing you with a variety of virtual or real devices and browsers that you can use to test your software remotely. You can also scale up or down your testing resources according to your needs and budget. Some examples of cloud-based testing platforms are BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or AWS Device Farm.

In my experience, Blending an in-house testing setup with a cloud-based testing platform creates a comprehensive strategy that harnesses the advantages of both retaining command over vital testing operations within the company while leveraging the adaptability and expansiveness of cloud-driven testing solutions. For instance, maintaining core testing protocols on-site ensures stringent control over sensitive data handling, while using a cloud platform like BrowserStack extends the capacity to conduct tests across various devices and browsers without the need for extensive internal hardware and maintenance costs.

4 Leverage user feedback

User feedback is a valuable source of information for testing your software. You can use user feedback to identify bugs, errors, or issues that your testing might have overlooked, or to improve your software based on user suggestions, complaints, or compliments. You can collect user feedback through various methods, such as surveys, ratings, reviews, comments, or analytics. You can also use tools like UserTesting, Hotjar, or Google Analytics to help you gather and analyze user feedback.

5 Collaborate with other testers

Testing your software alone can be limiting and biased. You might miss some defects, assumptions, or perspectives that another tester might catch. Collaborating with other testers can help you improve your testing quality, coverage, and efficiency. You can collaborate with other testers by sharing your test cases, results, or findings, or by conducting peer reviews, pair testing, or exploratory testing sessions. You can also use tools like Jira, Trello, or Slack to help you communicate and coordinate with other testers.
