Importance of Quality Assurance (Engineering) for Early Startups

Coming up with a good startup idea is often the biggest hurdle. We’re witnessing a huge growth in the number of startups being established. However we also see most of these startups, especially technology based startups fail due to multiple reasons. Reasons could be operational, planning, understanding market needs, team or anything else.

Technically one of the major potential reasons we usually see is the quality of product/software startups develop which impact poor reception by prospects, PoC customers etc.

Problem

  • When a technology startup company is launched, founders and technology heads focus on ideation, development, understanding and taking it market, but product/software QA ( Quality Engineering) is often ignored.
  • With this when product/software is taken to market for Beta’s/Demo’s fail to meet expectations in quality.

Solution

  • Inducing a testing mindset in to development would reduce major product/software quality issues.
  • Enable test driven development so that major acceptance criteria is not broken and development can run through these tests on CI Pipeline.
  • If companies budget supports, better to have a QA Lead and QA Engineer (1-2) to validate product features and develop an end-to-end functional acceptance testing to ensure major features are not broken.
