It is a well known fact that software defects caught earlier in the development lifecycle are much easy and cheaper to fix. A sound software quality assurance process should be embedded early in the software development process to ensure functionality or time-to-market is not compromised at the tail end of the development cycle. Silicus software development services for Quality Assurance and Independent Testing are designed to work in tandem with development teams to improve software quality, reduce rework and time to market, and provide a testing framework specifically designed for your software product.

Software quality assurance is more than just testing. It involves a repeatable process to ensure all the functional and technical requirements of the software are fulfilled. A sound software quality assurance framework should be designed to reflect the reliability, functionality, performance, interoperability, portability, maintainability and efficiency requirements of the software. Additionally, the quality assurance framework should take into consideration the development process (agile / iterative vs. waterfall) as well as the architecture of the software (service-oriented, smart-client, fat-client, multi-tenant, etc.). Silicus Quality Assurance services ensure that the necessary rigor is built into the development process.

While Silicus can provide end-to-end quality assurance services, some of our clients have mature software quality assurance processes. Silicus independent software testing services provide an efficient and cost-effective means to perform software testing in adherence with software quality assurance methodology defined by the customer.
