Software Quality Assurance Plan

Abbreviated as SQAP, the software quality assurance plan comprises the procedures, techniques, and tools that are employed to make sure that a product or service aligns with the requirements defined in the SRS(software requirement specification).

The plan identifies the SQA responsibilities of a team, and lists the areas that need to be reviewed and audited. It also identifies the SQA work products.

The SQA plan document consists of the below sections:

Purpose section
Reference section
Software configuration management section
Problem reporting and corrective action section
Tools, technologies, and methodologies section
Code control section
Records: Collection, maintenance, and retention section
Testing methodology

Why Performance Testing is crucial for your business?

Some useful statistics

Undoubtedly, the rise in consumer expectations for seamless app and website services is directly proportional to the consumer trust. Relying on the statistics, almost half of the internet users expect a website to completely load in not more than 2 seconds. There are 30% of the audiences expecting a website to load in just 1 second while 18% of the audiences think a website should load immediately. If in case a particular URL fails to load, more than 50% users switch to another URL to finish their task. More than 22% users will never return to a URL once an error occurs on it. Furthermore, there are more than 75% of the tablet or mobile phone users who will never use the app or a website if they ever find it slow, buggy, or tend to crashing.

And this calls for Performance Testing! What is it?

Any crashes or bugs on your website can cause major revenue losses to the company as well customer reliability. Every app call for the appropriate measures the developers and maintenance team should incorporate. It is essential to minimize the probability of failures in major visitor spike scenarios. Performance testing is, beyond a doubt, imperative to avoid the occurrence of any bugs causing adverse impacts on revenue and customer retention.
Performance testing focuses on assessing the components’ performance in a particular system setting, given a specific scenario. The testing arena will cover –

1. Capacity Testing– It is done simultaneously with capacity planning to ensure the number of transactions and/or visitors will be able to complete their task on a system. The system still meets its performance target. Capacity testing will ensure that the scope of growth in the future is a continuous process.

2. Stress Testing – It is a process that testers perform on their computer, network, device or even a program. It checks for the ability of completing their task, fetching the expected results even in hampering conditions. It may include testing for any system crashes or

3. Load Testing – It is associated with introducing the load to the software in order to study its behavior and efficiency. It is related to assessing the difference when the system is subjected to higher-than-normal load

4. Volume Testing – Is associated with testing particular software by introducing certain data amount to it and then assessing its performance.

5. Spike Testing – It is a kind of load testing that ensures the stability of a system when there is a sudden spike in the number of users. It also tests the stability when the varying loads are subjected to the system

6. Endurance Testing – You can also call it as Soak testing which involves introducing the load (more than normal) for an extended time frame. It is essential to comprehend the system behavior and necessitating the measures to avoid any issues arising during the sustained use

7.Reliability Testing – Given a specified environmental condition, software should repeatedly fetch same results for a defined period. It is essential to double check the system reliability.

8. Scalability Testing – It is the testing done to study the system’s behavior when there is a significant change in the volume of the load introduced to it. It tests whether the system is able to meet the demand or not.
