When it comes to evaluating software and its usability, there’s alpha testing, beta testing, and gamma testing. Are all three really necessary?

There is (arguably) nothing more reassuring than consistency. It makes us feel safe and it lets us know what we can expect.

Last year G2 introduced predictions for 2018’s major digital trends, but this year the focus is on trends in specific industries and how digital transformation will affect them in 2019. 

What is multivariate testing (MVT)? Multivariate testing (also known as multivariable testing, or MVT is a statistical procedure used in marketing to evaluate consumer reactions to multiple variables during split testing. Split testing exposes groups of consumers to different graphics (often branded websites) and tracks engagement through metrics such as bounce rate or click-through rate. 

What is QA testing? QA testing, or software quality assurance testing, is the process of detecting and fixing errors, bugs, and other issues in software applications before their public release. This process is often integrated into mobile and web development services but can also be conducted by separate testing providers or in-house using specialized software. Test automation software can be utilized to automate the QA testing process. This involves meticulous planning of tests, development, and execution of test cases, and thorough evaluation and documentation of the results. The various types of QA testing include mobile testing, regression testing, performance testing, and user acceptance testing, each addressing different aspects of software quality.QA testing significantly improves software quality by reducing bugs and errors, resulting in a more stable and efficient product. It enhances the user experience by ensuring the software is user-friendly and meets expectations. Additionally, QA testing is cost-effective, as addressing issues during development is less expensive than post-release fixes, making it an essential component of the software development lifecycle.Implementing best practices like early testing, continuous feedback, and the utilization of automation and AI in the QA process ensures the delivery of high-quality software, aligning with the evolving demands of technology and user expectations.

This post is part of G2's 2021 digital trends series. Read more about G2’s perspective on digital transformation trends in an introduction from Michael Fauscette, G2's chief research officer and Tom Pringle, VP, market research, and additional coverage on trends identified by G2’s analysts.

Python is on the rise like a rocket. It’s at the top of the world, with a clear view of the horizon.

The market for integrated development environments (IDE) technology is diverse and complex.

Yesterday was sunny and 85 degrees. Today, it’s a cold, windy, and rainy 54 degrees.

As I sit here in the airport lounge at Philadelphia International Airport, I'm thinking about the security checks I’m ever so familiar with these days.
