When is it Recommended to Involve Testers in the Project?

Executing of web site testing, desktop testing or mobile application testing is a substantial part of software creation. It is closely related to the development process.

A software testing company and a development team should cooperate and always stay in touch. Testers must be engaged in a project as early as possible.

When requirements are ready testers may start working on them and write test cases. Early involvement of a testing team in work allows to save time and expenses as testing of the requirements enables the developers to avoid implementing some errors in code.

Though developers and testers should work together, there must be separate environment for testing and for developing.

The Reasons of Creation Separate Environments for Testing and Development Purposes Are:

  • Sometimes specific changes in the environment are required for performing certain works in course of mobile testing, desktop testing or web site testing. The changes may cause errors in the program code;
  • When the developers are altering the system testers cannot work as they need system to be stable;
  • The development team may change something in the software configuration and forget to document the changes. If there is separate environment for testing, the changes will not be done there. So, the difference will be soon found and the changes will be documented.
