While unit testing verifies each module or unit individually, integration testing validates that all of the units work well together. It tests the communication paths between modules, either in smaller aggregates or the entire system as a whole. The purpose of this kind of testing is to verify the requirements of major items, or groups of units. Here’s an easy-to-understand example of integration testing: eBay and PayPal are two independent applications, but when you make a purchase on eBay, you’re offered the option of paying with PayPal. Testing this communication between the two applications is an example of integration testing. A further example is the confirmation email you receive from one or both systems after your purchase and payment is complete.

There are different types of integration testing. Big bang, where all of the modules are tested as a whole. Top-down or bottom-up, where low or top level modules are integrated and tested one by one. Or even a combination of the former two, called sandwich testing. Some of these integrations may be in-house developed units, or they could be third party items such as libraries, web services, or DBMS.

We can provide your team with the necessary expertise and oversight to fix flaws in your module communication, with the goal to catch the errors early, reduce your costs, and lower your risks.

The best reasons to choose Software QA Consulting Services

Unclear and unstructured QA process

Missed bugs, unclear responsibilities, lack of integration testing, missing releases, and many other problems could be the result of improper testing processes

Quality of the product is not as good as expected

You may lose your clients if the quality of your deliverable is low

Instability of automated tests

Auto-tests are powerful but only in right hands. Lack of “right” test suite architecture and the “wrong” approach leads to randomly failing tests. The result of this is a frustrated team with nobody who understands if this is a bug of the application or the issue of auto-tests

Lack of transparency and control

You do not understand and or control the testing process at all. You do not have a clear vision of what your team is doing. Hiring a quality assurance consultant will help to resolve these problems

QA team doesn’t have enough expertise

Insufficient expertise leads to missing bugs, improper vision of current quality, unstable tests which take huge amounts of time for completion, which prevents releases

Not enough QA / testing resources

You do not have QA resources, or your current team is stuck, and you would like to add extra engineers or to breathe new power into the QA process

Increasing the efficiency of QA engineers

The current process is not as efficient as it could be. As an example, instead of repeating manual testing activities every day, you may simply automate them

Mistakes in test documentation and artifacts

Lack of test documentation usually leads to non-structured testing, and as a result, your users will face any missed bugs

QA activities cost too much

The current QA team is too large and costs much. But here is the question - are you sure they’re useful?

Implementation of modern methodologies required

Methodology selection depends on various factors. The most popular of them are Scrum and Kanban
