Connect companies to testers who really understand what they do to generate savings in spending on problems arising from errors and software bugs that will occur sooner or later, and generate damage (from large). With a job of prevention, proactive action and neutralization, the startup TSTR, founded in Uberlandia, wants to anticipate the problem and, for this, has developed a solution so that companies spend much less on the damage generated by these failures, and can make the operation more sustainable. It seems only tech and finance, but it is also social impact in our lives.
Recent studies indicate that software failures cost global companies about $1.7 trillion a year in downtime, lost revenue and reputational damage, not to mention the damage to users, consumers and customers, which in the case of healthcare can mean life or death.
In the case of the economy, jobs can go down the drain. Thinking about it, the startup solves this critical problem (or a good part of it), ensuring that products are launched without fail, which results in a reliable user experience. Up front, it will not be necessary to put out fire and spend millions on repair.
This was made possible by the joining of a community of more than 1,000 qualified testers, force by which TSTR wants to enter a repressed market of $ 40 billion. “We do not target the large conglomerates, our average customer are startups of up to 50 employees who provide software services to companies, banks, fintechs etc.”, explains founder John Junior, technology expert, programmer and developer.
Global failure?I could avoid
For example, we can mention the July 20 cyber blackout, which disrupted the operation of American airlines, the operation of airports in Europe, India, Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as live broadcasts from television networks in the United Kingdom and Australia. Banks, train stations and hospitals were affected. Several stock exchanges around the world also had to interrupt negotiations.
The founder of the startup guarantees that the problem could have been avoided with previous action.“A, a spin-off of 4ALL Tests, is to ensure (on top of data and strategy) that its customers deliver to the market products without failures, ensuring an impeccable user experience and high value.For this, we use a series of principles and operational techniques that avoid waste of costs, increase product quality and maximize the value delivered to the customer”, he says.
But how does it work in practice?
The company acts as a platform that connects businesses to a vast community of expert testers, offering services ranging from running tests on specific demands to managing complete test areas.
TSTR's differential“ is in the combination of cutting-edge practices with a wide community of experienced testers using methodologies such as ShiftLeft Testing and the Lean philosophy, TSTR integrates testing from the early stages of development, promoting early detection and correction of failures. This approach reduces the time of launching new products, minimizes bugs in production and results in more stable and reliable software”, explains founder and partner John Junior.
It's about technology, but rather about impact on people
“We speak of cutting-edge technology, but, in the end, we are generating solutions in the lives of people and companies. Bugs or failures that hinder access to bank apps, problems in advanced medical systems and failures in air systems generate immense financial losses, but, more than that, can cause irreversible damage to the physical and mental health of the” people, he explains.
Therefore, the target market of TSTR includes startups, technology companies, fintechs, healthtechs and corporations that require scalable and effective software testing solutions.The technology covers test automation based on the test pyramid, using cutting-edge tools to perform functional, performance, security and usability tests at all layers of the software.
“For example, in projects with our customers, we have automated more than 80% of regression testing, dramatically reducing the time to launch new products and updates, as well as minimizing the occurrence of bugs in production. This results in more stable products, greater end-user satisfaction and long-term cost savings”, he says.
Acting in accordance with SDG/UN
With increasing digitalization and demand for more robust and reliable software, TSTR is positioned to capture a significant share of this market.“The growing need for automation and continuous testing drives the adoption of our solutions, opening up new opportunities to expand our customer base and increase our share of the” market
