Bugs from Regression Testing
Nobody knows how many bugs will be found, but a 5% functionality change in a 1000 suite test will create at least 5-25 new defects.
Regression testing is also a most important part of the entire testing effort. Always take time to plan and manage your regression testing effort. Investigate the tools that are available to help you automate your regression tests and manage your suites. In an industry where time and skilled staff always seem to be scarce, it makes sense to work smarter by outsourcing your Testing jobs to us.

Importance of Web Site Testing
The web is a powerful medium, through which any person or organization can publish its message for consumption or use by anyone who has access. Part of the value of the web is that content can be easily modified or added to as a message grows or changes. However, the downside to this non-permanence is the idea that the message or site does not need to be perfect before it is presented to the intended audience and participants. This is not a productive school of thought. We must realize that a website should be treated similar to any other marketing or informational piece and thoroughly reviewed for correct content and functionality through formal quality control procedures.
If you want a great Web site, you must test its usability. Just because no one has complained about your site doesn’t mean that all your visitors are using your site effectively, efficiently and to their full satisfaction.
Visitors won’t make the effort to complain unless you have outraged them in some way, or have provided an easy way for them to in touch with you from every page about the problems they may be having.
Who should be testing the website? The client? The development team? A third party? The answer is, “Yes, to all three.” Quality control personnel should consist of the client, the development team members and other personnel who are not involved with the creation of the site. This ensures that the site is reviewed by a variety of different people who have different relationships to – and expectations of – the site.
