Top 5 Benefits Of QA Testing

Quality assurance is the process by which products are checked to make sure that they meet specific standards. QA Testing is the means by which these standards are assured. Software development companies use software quality assurance as they attempt to put out products that are free of errors for the end users. However, some startup establishments in the software development industry often overlook the importance of this step.

Question and Answer session

Quality assurance is not simply a formality, but it is undeniable that when this part of the development process is not applied the company may then fail in delivering a program that meets all the client’s requirements. The reason for this is that there is no assurance that the diverse operations will be fully operational.

What exactly is QA?

During software development, QA is the process by which developers observe the many processes to determine if they are all functional. Typically, there are a number of sub-processes written into the programming of software that must be functioning before the end product is sold.

While it is true that QA Testing is intended to make sure the delivery of a quality product, there are other considerations as well. For instance, when a product is well designed and the appropriate testing applied, there is a greater chance that the customer who purchases it will be better satisfied. This not only leads to customer satisfaction, but is also good for business in other ways as well. One way is better reviews and consumer feedback which increases the likelihood that more sales will occur.

Using software quality assurance allows developers to identify and then correct or eliminate errors that may be found. This truly saves time because once in the hands of clients or customers the process to correct such errors is likely to be extended adding to the cost of the product.

Benefits of QA Testing

1. The first benefit that is derived from software quality assurance is that it helps reduce the need to make alterations to the application. By applying appropriate testing procedures, it is possible to fix anything that is found to have errors or bugs by identifying them and then making changes required to eliminate them. The time savings benefit can be significant.
2. When proper testing procedures are used throughout the development process, errors can be recognized in the initial stages and then cleared up are required. This eliminates the need for the expenditure of extra time and money to correct problems after the software development has been completed.
3. Through QA Testing, developers are better able to understand the diverse requirements of clients.
4. Problems within applications are more easily recognized during testing.
5. Attending to the details of quality assurance helps clients to see that developers are interested in delivering higher quality work. This can mean that the same clients will return to request additional service.

It is certain that QA Testing will add time to the process of development, and one could say that adds to the expense. However, the real cost comes with not performing the required testing to ensure that the end product is high quality because it will come back to haunt any developers in terms of added expense or loss of paying customers.

Even though one cannot fully guarantee that the software will be 100% devoid of problems, the end product will be significantly better than if the proper testing procedures had not been followed.

The question is, can you afford to forgo quality testing for the sake of getting the software out quickly or under budget? Probably not. To omit this critical step in development is tantamount to sabotaging your own efforts. You really cannot afford to do that now, can you?

Target users on facebook fan page with privacy controls

Targeting is of great importance when it comes to marketing your product/content to the right audience. Marketing and promotions are very less efficient when it is not targeted to the right audience.

Facebook allows you to target the specific audience among the fans, i.e. the users you have already liked your page. This can be accomplished using the Privacy Control settings of the fan/brand page. The only draw back is that, publishing with targeting specified in your post, will only filter out the individuals who don't lie in the specified criteria.

To use this feature you need to turn on or enable privacy control feature. You need to allow yourself to control the privacy of the post you will share on you Facebook fan page.

Turning On Privacy for Fan Page

Edit Page settings of Facebook Fan Page

1. Go to your page.
2. From the admin panel, click on "Edit Page" drop down menu.
3. From there select "Edit Settings" option.
4. On settings page, search for "Post Privacy Gating".
5. Edit "Post Privacy Gating" and check the only option present there (Allow me to control the privacy of new posts I make on my Page).
6. Click the Save button.

Post Privacy Gating : Check the option to allow targetting

NOTE- You have no loss in posting your Facebook status without targeting, but you may loose some fans. Loss of fans is very likely to happen in case of multiple posting within a single day. On pages with high number of likes, any admin cannot determine loss occurred.

Like and Comment as Company on LinkedIn

The market is always filled with rivals, and to win you need to perform every step that lets you forward even by a single step. After Facebook, Google Plus, etc. Now, LinkedIn has also introduced a new feature for brand pages.

Like and Comment as the brand page : LinkedIn

LinkedIn users can now like and comment as the brand/company they represent on the company pages. The only limitation is that you simply cannot switch between you and you page, you get switched automatically whenever you are logged in and you access you company/brand page. This automation may come to end with new updates.

It is not clear if the switching will be made accessible to the administrators or not. Maybe the next upgrade will have this or as LinkedIn is running on a freemium model, these kinds of upgrades may be reserved for premium users. 

This is probably the first step towards brand/fan engagement, and may get even better with possible future updates.

Create Stylish Feedburner Email Subscription Form yourself

Doesn't matter if you are a Blogger, WordPress  tumblr, joomla, etc publisher. A lot or I must say maximum still rely on Feedburner for publishing their RSS and also for email subscription.

Building readership via email newsletter is as important as other parts of blogging like creating content and promoting on various social media platforms.

Feedburner Email Subscription Form

Blogger users use custom build or mostly Blogger's official widget for creating their email subscription form. But as of today, having your subscription are highlighted is very important. So here are some steps that you can apply to customize your email subscription form as you like and you can alter them as your  wish or requirement of your blog.

NOTE- This tutorials take into consideration the fact that you are using official Feedburner widget on Blogger though once through you will be able to alter you WordPress widget too.

Redirect Blogger blog from non-www to www domain.

Blogger or official widget

If you are using Blogger platform and official widget from "Add Gadget" option. Then in such case the styling of the email input text field and submit button comes from two CSS classes. 

1. Email input field's class is named - follow-by-email-address, and
2. Submit button class in names - follow-by-email-submit.

All you need to do is override these with custom value. To do so there are two methods, 

1. Using internal stylesheet, or
2. Using inline styling.

For some reason inline styling is considered bad for SEO as it increases loading and page rendering time. But if you don't have any inline styling it wont matter at all. And in maximum of blogger templates there is no use of inline styling. So feel free to use it.

Email Field,

1. Go to Blogger, log-in and select the blog from the list.
2. Go to your blog's "Template" menu and then to Edit HTML.
3. Use "Ctrl + F" shortcut to search for follow-by-email-address.
4. And then you will get one result, replace the code starting with 
   <input class='follow-by-email-address' name='email' placeholder='Enter Email Address...' type='text' /> 
   with 

<input class='follow-by-email-address' name='email' placeholder='Enter Email Address...' style='background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 8px; -webkit-border-radius: 6px; border-radius: 6px; height: 33px; width: 280px;' type='text' /> 

 Click Save and review your template.

Submit Button,

1. Use "Ctrl + F" to find  follow-by-email-submit and replace 
   <input class='follow-by-email-submit' type='submit' value='Submit' />
   with
   

<input class='follow-by-email-submit' style='background-color:#ff9933; -webkit-border-radius:6px; border-radius:6px; height:35px; width:100px; font-weight:bold;' type='submit' value='Submit' />

Click Save and review your template.

You may have a number of problems. So now the following will tell you how to troubleshoot it. For that, alter the values of the style attribute, the only error that you will encounter will be because of the difference in the sidebar sizes. 

follow-by-email-address style

To troubleshoot that, alter the value of width. To change the corners of the button and email field alter the value of -webkit-border-radius and border-radius keep the value of both same. This will avoid confusion (if any). To change the color of the button change the value of background-color you can get the appropriate colors and their hexacodes from Color Picker.
