The principle of network testing, collective testing is a mixed team approach that aligns the process and tool to be a smooth workflow. This allows various forms of collaboration by regulating various test teams to cover more testing surfaces in a shorter time, under the integrated test management platform. For example, in-house testers may test safe code designed for internal eyes. Meanwhile, network testing resources can provide exploration testing and real device coverage.
3 main benefits of collective testing
Many clients ask if there are ways to test their in-house to use the same QA platform as we provide with our 10,000 freelance tester.
Organizations that prioritize quality want can ...
Open the test surface with the option for in-house, network testers, and both resources combined
Buy testing services managed fully or jointly managed based on their budget
Simplify operations and reduce costs by getting rid of unnecessary test management tools and move all resources (internal and external) to one platform
Our collective testing approach allows all the above. You can use our test management software with your in-house testers, our released testing network, or both. You can also choose the level of the right QA management service, based on your internal needs.
Let's explore 3 benefits of collective tests.
1. Increased utilization of in-house testers
With collective testing, you can activate resources based on your needs, instead of being locked to set costs.
Use In-house testers for basic needs - you are not trapped in an expensive contract with QA vendor. You can have your in-house testers handle some of your needs, and add network freelance resources to suppress the release cycle and surge in the project load.
Manager involvement co-managing network testers - Another way to utilize your in-house resources better through collective testing is to have a manager involvement of Testio Co-Manage Testio resources for more specific project management.
In-house and external testing tests together with each other - you can also add some of your internal QA tester to the test cycle that is being worked on by Sapizon network testers to expand capacity. It will also ensure that network testers have internal contacts that can be known to switch with any questions during the test cycle.
In-House Test Code Safe - If there is a code that you only want internal employees to see, you can be easier to do internal testers, and then have external resources carry out functional testing or usability in a smooth and integrated workflow.
2. One platform for all resources and strategies
But why is this important? Being in the world of software, we know that the phrase "everything in one" is also very meaningful or very few, depending on the use case.
When it comes to QA, having a single testing management platform happens to be many things. For one thing, the collective testing platform allows you to better utilize your internal resources with four detailed methods above.
Without cohesive platforms, your in-house testers cannot collaborate smoothly with external resources. This does not allow your organization to maximize the budget for testing your software.
One platform has other benefits besides helping you get the most out of your internal resources. Because you can easily add network testing resources, you can accelerate your test cycle as needed. Faster test cycles mean releases faster. Having all your test management in one cohesive place also makes bug find and repair it faster too.
The easiest time to repair defects is when fresh, so the faster the collective test team you can find and report bugs, the faster your release.
For additional bonuses, put your internal QA and external QA on the same platform representing cost-effective, because you can cancel your subscription to your Legacy Test Management Tool, which is not optimized to utilize freelance resources checked.
3. Higher QA and UX standards
In the end, collective testing leads to an increase in QA and UX, because you will have the right amount of resources at the right time, joint collaborative testing.
Here are some ways of collective testing leads to higher quality:
Efficient operation - get rid of excessive tools and bring everyone together to increase efficiency and ensure that fewer bugs and set features fall through the gap. Plus, experience testing results on days, overnight, or over the weekend.
More QA resources - with collective testing, you can add the resources you need, both for new features or important updates. You are not stuck with only your internal team and low level testing levels.
Quality freelancers - Managers and QA engineers often complain about crowdsourced testing. Unfortunately, most crowdsourcing testers are paid per bug, which leads to reports of low-quality problems. At the same time, the lack of management leads to no priority bugs. With a collective testing approach, you access clarified and quality freelancers paid every hour, working collaboratively, and managed by your involvement manager or QA in-house manager. Sapizon SAP clients share the importance of experienced testers that help them increase the level of fixed problems 3x.
Localization and coverage of better devices - when you take advantage of collective testing, you use a quality freelancer network. This means you can access the testers that are connected based on the language they say, the country and city where they live, the devices they have, and more.
With collective testing, your team has more control over regular testing and special cycles.
Do you want to make your own test case and assign it to your freelance testers? Or do you want your involvement manager to make a test case and set half of them to your freelance testers and half to your in-house team? The third scenario is that if you do not have a QA in-house team, you can get all the resources you need to run on the test cycle.
