is expected that in 2012 the English market services 'testing' and quality of software will reach a turnover of 70 million euros. "Companies are paying ever-increasing attention to quality and testing services. Regardless of their size and activity, organizations have realized the importance of improving the quality of its software, while they need to save costs, given the current global crisis " says José Luis Antón, director of the division of Software Control & Testing of Sogeti Spain.
Anton says, "the testing has not reached its maturity period of the English market" . Always been tested in Spain software "but in a unstructured, integrated into the development process and as the final phase of the same, so many times, with the pressures of time, the activities that fail to perform to to meet deadlines, are those related to software quality and testing " .
was not until 2006 when English companies began to realize the importance of testing "in a structured way and independently, as part of the whole development process . "This allows for information to make specific decisions on what to do and when with a business application" says Anton.
Laura Cachero, Consulting Manager of GFI SQA ensures that English companies are currently consciences with the testing. According to Chubb, the direct costs associated with software failures are the main stimulus. "Another aspect of quality companies are beginning to consider critical is the software maintainability" . "Quality is no longer something only large companies. Customers of all sizes and all sectors demand services definition and process improvement and implementation of various activities of quality assurance" , Chubb said.
The testing is an activity over the life cycle of software development and development as well as experiencing a trend towards outsourcing. Should it be the same company that develops software that perform the testing?, "For years the testing was an activity embedded in the development life cycle and performed by the same people who developed. Today we understand the need the independent testing " says Chubb.
According Sogeti, the English market independent service and quality of software testing in 2012 achieved a turnover of 70 million euros in our country. This growth is due to increased negative impact on business involving the malfunction of the applications or lack of quality. What is clear is that the main reason a large number of defects in the operation of applications is due to a poor and insufficient quality management program in the IT area. Now, do not forget that "failures can be avoided but never as to ensure 100% detection of defects. Tests to detect defects but not prevent, "said Francisco Saez, director of software quality Steria.
