Software Testing and QA

Our ISTQB-certified software testers look over the developers’ shoulders at every step and ensure that you, as our customer, receive flawlessly functional software that is, above all, tailored to the target group. Regular software tests have a preventive effect, enhancing quality assurance and avoiding costly error corrections later on. Our motto is: better safe than sorry. This allows us to maintain our QA standard and provide our customers with software that is highly performant, meets desired requirements, and is above all sustainable.

Manual software testing and software automation

At the mindcurv group, test automation is very important in software development, yet we often debug manually in the first step after implementation, i.e. without a prefabricated tool.

In all subsequent runs (e.g. in regression tests, updates, new features or installation tests), this unit is then repeated each time and automatically tested as well. This way we can be particularly sure that there are no errors in the code. The tools we use for automated software testing are, among others, the best open source QA frameworks on the market – such as Ranorex, Selenium and Appium.

Usability tests

Usability is our top priority. Therefore we conduct regular analytical and cognitive usability tests during the development of your software interface. The scenario and the target group play a central role here. Whether for a shop system, an embedded system, a mobile device or the desktop interface: igniti’s usability tests ensure that your software is perfectly usable in every detail. With click dummy and beta version, you are welcome to see for yourself before the official release.

Smoke & Performance Tests

At the mindcurv group, we also work with smoke tests. These initial superficial testing runs of new or revised software versions uncover simple but serious problems before a new software build can be accepted for further testing. To optimize response and processing speed, data transfer rate, network bandwidth, throughput, efficiency and workload reliability, we carry out performance tests. This focuses on the number of millions of instructions per second (MIPS) at which a mainframe operates.

What do the ISO9001 and ISTQB certificates of our software testers mean to you?

We at the mindcurv group have placed the highest value on the fact that our services as a software agency combine quality and innovation. With the ISO9001 certificate, TÜV SÜD has confirmed that the company meets all possible regulatory requirements for software testing. What does this mean in concrete terms for you as our potential customer?

  • transparent cooperation and low risk
  • low costs
  • high performance
  • full satisfaction

In short, everyone involved in your software development project at igniti works according to efficient, coordinated QA processes and has high standards to ensure your complete satisfaction with the new product in the end. But we wouldn’t be the mindcurv group if we didn’t always put the icing on the cake in terms of quality assurance to create the wow effect for our customers.

Our ISTQB certified testers make sure, that your software is in competent hands and prove that they are capable of setting up and carrying out test processes according to international standards.

At the mindcurv group, even the smallest software bugs are uncovered through thorough analysis, precisely localised and permanently fixed through sustainable QA processes.
