Testing applications in enterprise IT vs SMBs

Applications built for small and medium businesses (SMBs) usually cater to mainstream requirements, which are easier to accomplish. Applications built for enterprises, on the other hand, must handle a huge customer base and involve complex workflows for advanced functionalities. This equates to a lengthy software development life cycle (SDLC), which in turn means longer testing times.

Understanding the differences between applications for enterprises and SMBs can provide a deeper insight into the differences employed in testing for each.

Criteria
SMBs
Enterprise IT
Software
Prebuilt or white label software covers a majority of requirements.
Only prebuilt software with tweaks or custom-built solutions will satisfy stakeholders.
Overall testing
Only basic, essential testing is feasible for projects.
Extensive/exhaustive testing is mandatory for success.
Testing type
Since there's no dedicated QA team, manual testing is performed by the developers.
Due to the magnitude of tests and the need for accuracy, automated testing is preferred.
Architecture
Monolithic architecture for software treats it as a single entity, and there's no compartmentalization, affecting how it's tested.
Scalable architecture focuses on creation of multiple modules for the software, which can dynamically adapt to growing needs.
Technology stack
Existing industry standard technology stacks are a perfect fit, making testing easier.
Customizable and comprehensive technology stacks are necessary, which might require additional testing.
Number of users
Usually a small user base that can grow over time, but dedicated testing for user load is not needed initially and can be easily met with server solutions.
A huge number of users with a potential upward trajectory needs load testing, stress testing, and performance testing.
Servers
On-demand servers will cover the need, and might not require server testing.
Dedicated servers require server testing based on user load and integrations.
Security
Security tests may not be a priority, and already available security fixes are added to the codebase.
Enterprise applications are regularly targeted by hackers and require strong security tests—penetration testing, SQL injection testing, and more.
Integrations
Very few or no integrations exist, and they require minimal testing.
Multiple integrations with microservices warrant component testing followed by full-fledged end-to-end testing.
Database
Simple database schema handles all operations. Basic database testing is required.
Database clusters are often comprised of complex schemas, and frequent database testing is essential for maintenance.
User interface (UI) and experience (UX)
Software is priced competitively and customers usually just want the functionalities, so UI/UX testing has low ROI.
UI and UX plays an important role and directly affects the business, so extensive UI/UX testing is imperative for fostering credibility.

Frequently asked questions

How can Zoho QEngine help a SaaS-focused business that already has a suite of enterprise applications?

Multiple enterprise applications can be tested simultaneously with Zoho QEngine's parallel testing feature, to expedite the testing process of each.

Can enterprise applications built using no-code/low-code platforms be tested using Zoho QEngine?

Yes, enterprise applications built using no-code/low-code platforms can be tested just as easily using the no-code recorder feature in Zoho QEngine. We're also working closely with low-code application platforms (LCAPs) for dedicated testing.
