- No Test Cases: Your testers don’t have a fixed list of tests they have to execute, they are in the wild with lots of guess work.
- Waiting for crisis: Unless there is a major visible failure, no one in your team cares about testing.
- Isolation: Your testers start testing on their own and finish on their own when they feel like, and you have no report of which tests were passed, which were failed.
- Delayed Releases: Releases are delayed many times because of last minute test failures.
- Thinking too late: Not thinking about testing before you write your first line of code.
- No track of time: You don’t even know how much time you need to put in testing in first place.
- Complexity: Your app’s tests are so complex that you need to teach your testers how to test first, before they can actually start testing. Or even worse, you don’t want to hire testers because you know it’ll be too complex for anyone else.
Any of this sounds familiar? If yes, don’t be shy – we sucked at testing as much as you do (actually maybe more since you took time to read this post), before we decided we had to do something about it.
We’re building something very promising, a test case management system which will effectively work with you in solving all the problems listed above. If it looks worth to you, signup to our newsletter and we’ll inform you once we launch it. Even if you already use one, you’ll definitely find it faster, easier and leaner.
Update: Check out our new test case management app!
On Nov. 23, we launched our free online invoicing application called Invoice Dude and I finally have the time to write about it. Invoice Dude is a free invoicing application to help you bill your clients with ease without spending any money or any kind of leasing-fee. As we’re mostly into custom web development for the clients, we had the idea from almost an year - but it was only few weeks back when our team finally committed to this project.
Invoice Dude is currently under private beta phase (which means accounts are limited) and once we get out of it, we’re going to launch some add-ons. The add-ons list is not yet decided however we invite community once again to take part in it and vote for the most needed add-ons.
We plan to launch such similar projects in near future and look forward to the feedback of community. If you have any suggestions regarding the software, please tell us.
We have just launched BullsCash.com, a new finance news portal which collects news from almost 80-100 different sources and aggregates them together. It can be said to be first Indian Finance news portal in its own kind. It aims to help people in collecting quality information in lesser time. How much time would you spend daily reading news about shares, Mutual funds, IPOs etc from 100 sources?? And how many of them would be irrelevant or not important for you?
