Independent Software QA Testing Services
INTRODUCTION
QA is often termed as a bottleneck on a rainy day. But it necessarily always doesn’t end up being so. Although we need testing and we need it right now. There are ways to get past those biggest snarl ups every QA tester faces at some point in time.
Although we can surely say,
“Undeniably the biggest pet peeve for a tester is dealing with it all at once-“
Yet the mightiest and biggest challenges in the world of QA comprise of all the compiled below mentioned factors that matter the most when it comes down to QA & testing.
#1 The lack of clear communication– The biggest roadblock in QA by far always ends up being communication gaps, particularly in areas of lack of mutual understanding when not conveying specific software requirements can potentially create hurdles in constructing accurate test case scenarios.
But wait a second, understanding this monster challenge better, requires a deeper dive into the critical world of the more commonly existing QA challenges.
The commonly faced challenges in QA.
Let’s hear it out from our team at thought frameworks-
can make or break a product/application.
Q1. What are some practical challenges you face at work almost every single day?
” Environmental instabilities are real-world challenges.The lack of adequate response time from the developers end, oftentimes result in a project’s slow movement. Despite weekly calls, follow-up emails and reminders, we do face delayed responses from counterparts at times.”
-Sreevalli BS, Delivery Head QA at Thought Frameworks
Q2. How’s your experience and understanding with the team of developers?
“We often face issues with the development team’s productivity
Like they’re not working for 8 hours. Not meeting client expectations.
Resources & completion is a challenge too when testing modules require all functional, performance, and exploratory testing.”
–Sreevalli BS, Delivery Head QA at Thought Frameworks
Often the reason being lack of personnel to test comprehensively. Another reason commonly being, not necessarily having the right automation setup in place or seemingly assuming it to be the only catch-up solution for all the impending problems.
When it comes to the time taken to test, including device and browser coverage, in-house developers that are taking up QA efforts, and working overtime hours in a day will all eventually add up.
Hypothetically, If a team needs to test for all of the newest versions of web and mobile devices and browsers, the team is either endlessly stuck with the overhead cost of updating their device farmyard, or are solely relying on simulation softwares to provide accurate representations of the customer UI. Now not only is the former case expensive, it’s also endlessly time consuming. On the other hand, the latter option is more seemingly scalable but a less accurate simulated depiction of a real-time customer experience.
Additionally, QA can seriously become a roadblock challenge for backend engineering teams, in case when in-house developers are stuck combing through a product for bugs opposed to focusing on the next build. In the ideal world developers should be looking ahead at programming what’s next, and not get stuck endlessly critiquing their own creations.
Lastly, even with a fully scaled QA process or an in-house team, there are only limited hours in the day and only limited time allotments to dedicated QA resources.
Maybe cases and scenarios when you
need to deliver testing overnight, or over the weekend, over the holidays? These duties are simply difficult to impart upon an in-house team. This is where a professional QA test team dedicatedly steps in.
Q3. What is the biggest fallacy when appointing an in-house test team ?
“Unstable product requirements
and inadequate test coverage feature within the security function testing challenges.
Both short term challenges need to be addressed while executing both functional and performance testing at the same time.”
–Sreevalli BS, Delivery Head QA at Thought Frameworks
Even with a team having a robust personnel count dedicated solely to QA, how often can tests be running? Eventually, any team will hit full capacity, with a backlog of scheduled tests. One ingenious way of avoiding this is starting off with an unlimited testing model, something that is only possible with multiple testing in phases in particular.
Q4. Work hours challenges? Language barriers: how do you guys deal with it all?
‘A common challenge we face is localisation testing, like local language barriers, especially dealing with foreign languages.
Working for different time zones can be hard too.
But being used to it for years now we have few effective measures in place.”
–Prashanth P Associate Process Practice Manager @ Thought Frameworks
If kickoff conversations with clients have taught us anything, it’s that – if we want to see real time improvements in the QA process, we must address the common challenges faced by most test teams. Reducing the time taken to test effectively, outsourcing QA to professional and dedicated test team vendors, and simultaneously supporting the development of automation processes is the way to move forward.
Q5. What’s the importance of updating in the world of QA?
” There’s staff augmentation,
resorting to bigger challenges. Including domain related issues and how we handle it.
The simple answer is- keep updating!
With regular domain related changes, UI changes happen almost weekly or even daily.
While the releases are pre-scheduled and prior planned, very frequently sudden changes are also made which is a challenge in itself to upkeep. But we do so unabashedly.
–Prashanth P, Associate Process Practice Manager @Thought Frameworks

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
In order to take full benefit of next-generation technologies, multinational organizations must invest in software testing. Testing is currently required in a wide number of industries, including healthcare, banking and financial services, retail and e-commerce, and notably e-learning.
Software testing nowadays is about more than simply eliminating defects; it also assures the quality of the final product, which is one of the top objectives for modern enterprises; both small-scale and large-scale. A single blunder might jeopardize a company’s reputation, and inadequate quality assurance eventually resulted in a negative customer experience. As a result, it serves as a safety net, protecting the company’s image from deteriorating in front of its most valuable clients.
Testing and Quality Assurance (QA) are becoming increasingly important in software development businesses. From 2020 to 2026, the software testing market is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 6%. And, as a great result of the increased demand, testing is improving and evolving to ensure that the final product is error-free. The landscape of software testing in 2022 will alter dramatically due to advances in machine learning AI, IoT (Internet of Things), automated testing, and cloud computing.
