It is important for a software testing company to make necessary preparations before elaborating testing strategy, what means to find out as much as possible about tested software prerequisites, and evaluate risks.
Software must be developed and tested according to the schedule. So, such things as late approvals, late acquisition of test tools, applications and gadgets and other causes of delay must be avoided.
The best way to avoid delays, budget overruns, critical software errors, down times and other slip-ups is to develop an efficient testing strategy.
Testing strategy must take into account many factors and determine what and when should be done by a software testing company. The aim of a testing strategy is to minimize risks taking into account deadlines, budget, resources limits and so on.
