testenQA

testenQA is a term used in software quality assurance to denote testing activities and QA practices, particularly in Dutch-speaking environments. It is used both as a descriptive label for general QA work and as a brand in courses, consulting services, or tooling offered under the name testenQA.

Scope of testenQA includes functional testing, non-functional testing such as performance, security, and usability testing, regression testing, test planning, test management, and test automation. In practice, teams applying testenQA principles aim to verify software behavior against requirements, assess risk, and provide measurable quality metrics throughout the development cycle.

Approaches commonly associated with testenQA include risk-based testing, exploratory testing, and the use of automated test suites within continuous integration pipelines. Methods such as behavior-driven development and test-driven development may complement testenQA practices. The emphasis is on early defect detection, repeatability, and traceability of tests.

Tools frequently used in testenQA environments include Selenium or WebDriver for web UI testing, JUnit or TestNG for unit and integration tests, JMeter for performance testing, Postman for API testing, and Cucumber for behavior-driven tests. The term is not a formal standard but rather a generic umbrella used by practitioners, training providers, and companies in the Netherlands and Belgium.
