In today’s digitally empowered world, your business depends on your customer’s experience.
One bad experience and it can turn off the customer from your application and you could lose – your customer, your reputation, your credibility – literally everything is at stake! To provide a great customer experience, you need a high-quality defect free product that encompasses everything that a customer needs.
You can’t have a perfect defect-free application that loads at a snail’s pace. You would still lose out on your customer! You need to cover it all – not just the functionality aspect, but also non-functional aspects like load, performance, and security.
And that’s how high the testing standards need to be to ensure end-to-end testing that gives a superior customer experience!!
