Why Software Testing May Be Behind the Schedule and Exceed the Budget?

A process of software construction, including mobile testing, desktop testing or web site testing, must be well-considered and discussed with all the project parties.

Only when all the details are agreed upon with all the participants the works may begin. Each process and detail is important and influences upon a lot of related issues in software development. That is why there are risks for a testing process that do not depend upon the software testing company.

A Testing Process May Exceed Time Constraints and Budget If:

• any changes have been made to the application requirements, features or functions late in the development process;
• some new features or functions that were not agreed upon have been added to the software product without informing all the project parties, in particular, test team;
• software builds are delivered to the testers behind the schedule;
• the reported software bugs are corrected with delays.

Mobile application testing, desktop testing or web site testing may also be executed out of time if necessary preparations were not made beforehand, The preparations include arranging test environment, getting necessary equipment, preparing documents. In this case testers are to blame for exceeding budget and time constrains.

So, software testing may be behind the schedule or exceed the budget because of neglects and mistakes both of the testers and of the developers.
