Software quality assurance and management is based on a simple objective: define the ideal quality and ensure the final product functions and performs to that ideal—as efficiently as possible. Elkforce foresees possible issues and production gaps causing delays, errors, and change requests. Our experts then define and optimize a reliable, predictable, and efficient testing process using best practices and proprietary accelerators to support development of qualitative software.
Benefits:
Manual Software Testing
While automation testing and artificial intelligence have gained a tremendous amount of popularity in the QA industry over the past few years, manual testing, also known as functional testing, still has a major role to play when it comes to releasing quality software with a positive user experience.
While automation testing helps find regression defects quickly and can decrease the overall software development lifecycle, manual testing can help find the defects in new features of a product, and emphasizes the end-user perspective. Our team always recommends a combination of both to make sure that teams take advantage of the time saving and ROI associated with automated testing, but also ensure that specific user requirements are met through manual tests.

Regression Testing.
Users demand rapid changes to applications as their needs are more dynamic than ever. Modifications in the database & operating system updates, deployment configurations, bug fixes, functionality enhancements, integrations, patches, interfaces, etc. require Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. This requires Continuous Testing practices to be in place.
Regression testing is a continuous testing practice that mandates re-running of functional & non-functional tests. This ensures that the software continues to perform in the same manner as it did before making any changes. For the regression test to function effectively, it is important for enterprises to implement robust test automation services in place.
Elkforce’s systematic approach to Regression Testing ensures minimum disruption while keeping costs under control. Our Regression Testing suite guarantees that the new features or enhancements to the application do not cause any unintended impact to the existing quality of the applications. Our regression testing solutions ensure outcomes of these enhancements are as per the original plan. Our test teams thoroughly understand and perform impact analysis of the changes that are made to the test environment and the applications.
