Consumer Software

Typically the development cycle of consumer software within the PC environment includes the regular release of updates and frequent releases of new product ranges, whether it concerns a media player, printer application, navigation software, an anti-virus application or any other software product.
Product iterations require an element of change but the majority of the functionality and content will remain the same. Testronic Labs uses this approach to optimise testing efficiency across various testing projects.

Such projects always begin with an analysis of the product requirements and maintenance objectives. Based on this Testronic Labs creates master test plans covering:

• Reference Test Plan for full product quality control
• Confirmation Test Plan for update releases
• Regression and Maintenance Test Plan for new product releases

The Reference Test Plan not only describes the objectives for test design and management, functionality testing, compatibility testing and usability testing, but will also lay out the requirement for test automation, version control and long term testing analytics across forthcoming updates and releases.

This approach enables all regular partial updates to be managed as confirmation tests with a strong focus on changes and automated coverage of the unchanged modules. As a result, test rounds for new product releases can be covered efficiently and at low cost.

Testronic Labs’ combination of test automation with focused manual tests, enables us to deliver affordable and rapid evaluation of every the software update, delivering quality testing at a competitive price.
