Quality Assurance Services
Unlike consulting service, we believe that the team performs better and the process plays well if the internal and outsourced resources work as part of the same team. This led us consider assigning QA Analysts to each product team who are dedicated to work as part of the team, share responsibilities and take ownership. QA Analysts serve as a member of the client’s Product Development team and gets involved from requirement gathering through implementation and maintenance of the solution. Here, QA Analysts are involved in all stages of full lifecycle testing. Some highlights of the phases where the QA resources will be involved are as follows.
-
Requirement Gathering: It is important that QA Analyst is involved in a project from requirement gathering phase so that s/he knows rational behind the design, can start writing test plans and test cases from the beginning, which would save time towards the end of the project when tasks are finished in a rush mode in most cases.
-
QA Strategy Development and Planning: Delivery of a cost-effective solution is very crucial for a project. After QA Analyst has a better understanding of the requirements, the next step is to determine the strategy to accomplish the goals and come up with a test plan. A detail and well-thought plan not only helps the QA team accomplish its goals, but also builds a trust among stakeholders and clients. At this phase, QA Analyst comes up with a test plan along with risk mitigating factors.
-
Unit Test and Manual Functional Test: Once code development is in progress, QA Analyst gets involved in testing by component. To reduce cost incurred from testing, QA Analyst does a comparison between Unit test and manual test plan, and cut back on manual testing if anything is covered in Unit test. However, we admit the fact that Unit test can’t cover everything and the QA Analyst works with development team to assure that duplication in testing is avoided as much as possible.
-
End-to-End Testing: Once all the planned testing have been run, QA Analyst runs end-to-end tests to assure quality of the full project.
QA Service is dedicated to confirming that certain tests are covered, like Functionality Testing, GUI Testing, Usability Testing, Database Testing, Cross-platform Testing, Accessibility Testing, Installation Testing, Localization Testing, Load Testing, etc.
