Software testing is an activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining if it meets its required results. Although crucial to software quality and widely deployed by programmers and testers, software testing still remains an art, due to limited understanding of the principles of software quality.
The last thing busy IT departments need is more paperwork. Our software testing white papers are a different type of paperwork.
Below are some software testing white papers to provide the factual information needed to make decisions without getting lost in all the marketing hype.
White Papers from QA InfoTech are your source for information on the latest technology developments that affect your industry. This page lists all the white papers we have published over the past years. |

With the current day trend where customers product expectations are rapidly changing
and everyone needs products that are really rich, fast and intuitive to use, the kinds of
testing that are imperative are very different than a few years ago. With excellent
internet bandwidth that is now available, products and applications are all scaling very
well in their performance and this is something the customers are also expecting from
the products they use.
