What is the difference between Traditional QA process and TestAces Business value driven QA Process
Traditional QA processes are more focused on identifying the actual software defects and is indifferent of the actual business objective of the software. In traditional QA, the QA team comes into picture most of the times at a later phase either during the design or the testing stage. This might add to the mismatch in expectations that are aligned with the business goal. Whereas, business value driven QA processes are aligned with the business goals and thereby help businesses to measure the ROI of the QA process. Major breakthroughs in business driven QA processes like DevOps and Agile Testing have changed the picture, adding significantly to the business value of the organization. These changes covered the path for continuous testing and frequently deployments.
