Testing is perceived to take too long and cost too much. This is to some extent true. However, this is likely due to the fact that companies do not focus on simple testing processes until very late into the development life cycle.
Studies reveal that it is far more expensive to catch defects during testing - at least 60 times as costly as finding the defect during design or prior to coding. (Watts S. Humphrey, American Programmer, Dec 1994)
When they do get around to it, most organization's testing processes are not very disciplined - they lack definition, measurement, and the ability to be repeated.
Typically, more than half of all software defects are found downstream in the development process or during post-sale software use. This late discovery costs the economy billions of dollars annually, since almost every business in the world relies on software to operate. And, in today's highly regulated business environment, companies can no longer afford to over look software errors.
To be effective, software applications testing must start at the beginning of the development process and play an integral role throughout the application lifecycle. Softsmith works in partnership with the clients to test software across all phases of development. Moreover Softsmith as your QA partner brings skills, processes and tools to improve your testing capabilities as a whole.

We perform functional testing, regression testing, install/de-install testing, platform/compatibility testing, white-box testing and many other test types.
Our methodology adopts a collaborative approach with client’s practitioners for successful testing and implementation. We have developed robust methodologies that allow us to get projects underway rapidly and produce high-quality results using a predictable low-risk approach. We also ensure smooth knowledge transfer to the client’s core team to ensure continual process improvements.
We also help clients to select and implement new tools, including those used for test management, configuration management and defect tracking.
Testing can be performed at your site or remotely as per the clients needs.
