How many testing types are enough to make sure a product meets the required quality standards? What testing types are critical for software quality? And what ones to omit without compromising on quality?
Usually, you expect a high-quality product ready for end users, when applying to a software development company. But to accomplish a project on time, some companies may shotcut testing activities. So after the code is implemented, there is a high possibility of bugs occurrence. Why does this happen?
A website becomes a business card of any company and service. Its proper functioning, high performance, strong security, and good usability are the key attributes that help to attract visitors and broaden business relationships. To ensure a high quality of the website, testing activities are required.
Consider software testing a waste? Hear about software "butterfly effect"? Even the smallest change in the initial conditions may cause irreversible changes in the whole system. Are you sure that your development team is able to write an error-free code from the first time? Are you ready to release a product without testing at all?

A complex testing helps to improve product quality and ensure positive user experience. But what to do in case of limited budget and close deadline?
