eTestware: Enabling theICEway to deliver software testing

Last week we published an article highlighting the growing importance of software testing. It is virtually impossible for anyone to go a day without interacting with software to some degree. Our perceptions on software quality and good UX have never been higher. Therefore, testing is a crucial part in the software development lifecycle. Today we look at theICEway’s software testing arm: eTestware.

Read last week’s article, “Software testing is growing in importance”.

FAQs With Bertie Trevis

What does eTestware offer?

In simple terms, we are functional software testers, and we work alongside both software vendors and customers. To pre-empt the next logical question, functional testing is a specific type of testing. It essentially tests that the functional requirements and specs of a system are met correctly. Our team have been testing for many years and have worked on projects large and small. As you may imagine, they are therefore familiar with all testing types, just some of which are:

Integration testing, regression testing, smoke testing, system testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

Vendors need to have the utmost confidence in their products when taking them to market. Our software testing services give them that confidence because they know that we have found any bugs or defects and fixed them. It is important to note that software testing rarely uncovers every single issue, but that only serves to demonstrate just how critical it is. The last thing any vendor wants is to release something that delivers a poor user journey or experience. Without testing, that outcome is virtually guaranteed. It’s also important to point out that testing should be an on-going effort. New releases need to be tested as well – it’s not like one round of tests will solve everything!

Similarly, end users also need to know that the products they are purchasing are of good quality. Our experts step in to then give them the assurance they need before implementation.

“Right Sourcing… Alludes To The Delivery Of Real Value”

Bertie Trevis, General Manager for eTestware

There are lots of phrases from which “right sourcing” derives. People often talk about “onshore versus offshore” but the most popular term is perhaps “outsourcing”. We tend not to use that because it can have certain negative connotations. We say, “right sourcing”, because it alludes to the delivery of real value based upon a true collaboration. With ‘traditional’ outsourcing it can feel as though ‘outsiders’ are stepping in and taking over. We don’t do that. We make sure that our clients know we are a part of their team on any given project.

Yes, we can. The fundamentals of testing typically remain the same regardless of sector.

As aforementioned, the eTestware HQ is based in Tallinn, Estonia. To close, here are some fun facts about both:
