• testing company is a software testing
  report written after any type of testing is
  performed (mobile testing, web site

• If you think that your report is simply the heap
  of
• your work results, this is exactly what it would
  be like
• when you finish it. And if you want to express
  your intelligence via heavy-crammed report full
  of statistical data, it wont be appraised.
  Besides, people who will read it might be
  slightly puzzled when they get it.

• But what is most important, the report is a
• communication conductor. Thus, it shouldnt be
  boring and too scientific.
• If you want to show what a great worker you are,
  dont write a report that only you understand how
  to decipher. You will scarcely benefit from it
  and most likely will have to rewrite it.
• Would you ever cooperate with a software testing
  company, if its engineer after having performed
  usability testing, sends you a report that is
  highly unusable?

  tell
• and make sure all the report sections correspond
  to this story. In such a way you get a logically
  structured and easy to read report that puts you
  and your company in a beneficial position.
