Did you know that testing software is a lot like testing cars?
Just as car manufacturers run rigorous tests before delivering vehicles to customers, we in the software development industry follow structured testing stages to ensure our clients’ apps run flawlessly. These stages are called environments.
We start with the Development Environment, where developers incrementally add features and test them. Once a feature passes, it moves to the Testing Environment, where quality assurance specialists hunt for defects and ensure everything works as intended.
Next is the Staging Environment, where we simulate real user behavior using real data. This is similar to crash testing cars—we want to see how our software performs under extreme conditions.
Finally, after passing all these environments, the software is ready for Production.
Ask yourself: Are you testing your software like you test a car? Are your users’ personal data secure? Have you ensured your application’s security is impenetrable? Will users be able to navigate your app without issues? If you hesitated on any of these questions, it might be time to revisit your testing process.
At White Cloak, we test our software the way car manufacturers test vehicles—thoroughly, meticulously, and with our users’ experience in mind.
