Software quality assurance has been on the rise for the last 20 years. Today, it’s more important than ever. With a growing and ever-changing digital landscape, and businesses built around software solutions, software quality assurance is vital to create a successful business and to be able to scale when the time comes. Especially for SaaS companies, software quality assurance is vital to provide high quality services and to create long-term success.
"As a SaaS company, your entire business is based on your software and because of that, the consequences of not having an effective QA in place can be many. That’s why you need to quality assure your software”
– Bobby Kociski, Sales Manager at System Verification.
We have interviewed Bobby to share expert insights on the importance of software quality assurance. In this article, you can read his words on why it is vital for your business and how it influences your long-term success.
An essential factor for innovation and growth
Software quality assurance is important in delivering solutions that meet the expectations and requirements of customers and the market. Not to mention in successfully developing your platform further and reaching business goals. A platform error, technical issues and/or challenges in the development organization may directly or indirectly affect the ability to create high quality experiences for your customer, generate additional sales and reach KPIs and business goals. Which, in turn, affects your ability to innovate and further grow your platform and business.
As a software company, your business is strongly tied to your software. Thus, a bump in your software may have ripple effects on various parts of your business and organization.
“Quality is a subjective matter per se. By defining what quality is to your software product or service and tailoring your software organization and goals around this, together with measuring and monitoring your definition of quality in relevant ways, you will be able to create throughput, stability, control and readiness for scalability and growth.”
– Bobby Kociski
A necessity for stability and control
Oftentimes the challenges arise when it’s time to innovate your product, grow your business and further establish your role on the market. By making software quality assurance a part of your daily operations, you can create stability and control, more easily grow your business and create an organization that can manage a larger stream of end users. By implementing software quality assurance, you can make sure that you’re always up and running and minimize the risks of something going down. With the right solutions throughout your software development life cycle, it’s easier to have control and ensure high quality in all aspects of your software.
A must for reaching KPIs and creating great customer experience
Ensuring high quality software is also strongly linked to customer experience, as customer experience largely depends on your software. This means that it’s hard to create a great experience and strong customer value without quality assurance.
“Everything technical affects the customer experience in some way. You can’t provide a great customer experience if you don't quality assure your platform beforehand.”
– Bobby Kociski
Software quality assurance also plays an important role in supporting and reaching KPIs and overall business goals. Reaching your goals when it comes to retention rate, conversation rate etc, to ensure that your platform delivers what it needs to do, is strongly linked to the quality and functionality of your software.
If quality assurance isn’t already part of your daily operations, it's time to start integrating it to minimize risk, manage technical challenges and to create long-term success.
