You can’t be 100% sure that the component will work the same in every possible context, so in this case software testing is a must.

Besides, the closer the release time is, the more work they seem to have. Thus they only perform general verification of the software’s work. On the contrary, a good software testing company can perform detailed check of the offered software performing various types of software testing (be it mobile testing, web site testing or any other type).

Double-checking is never extra. In the process of its development, software undergoes various changes and should be checked through all the process.

The developers are more concerned with components’ work and their functions, while testers are considering everything from the point of view of the end-user.
