Importance of Outsourced Software Testing by QA Thought Leaders at QA InfoTech

QA Testing Methodology

QA Testing Methodology:

We have a track record of years in successfully executing software testing projects for several companies including Fortune 500 companies across the globe. We have created proven test processes and a methodology that comprises of metrics-driven testing, , standardized documentation of test artifacts, an effective system of reviews and optimum usage of automation techniques.

QA InfoTech’s Dev sync™ (Development Synchronization) is one of the proprietary services which helps us coordinate test activities in alignment with the development group from the very beginning removing any barriers and ensuring a smooth test cycle. We begin the testing process by developing a comprehensive plan to test the general functionality and special features on a variety of platform combinations.

At QA InfoTech we have a balanced set of metrics called Qualitometer™ which allows us to measure efficiency and track the status at every stage of the project. It is based on the concept which gives timely signals or early warnings when things are going off track. Qualitometer™ is used as a standard health indicator for all delivery projects.

By introducing a proven toll-gate based approach for all QA related activities, we have streamlined our process with valuable results.

Our framework based Testing Methodology provides direction, planning, documentation, execution and reporting all under a single forum. This helps clients manage and deploy defect-free applications and enhancements and maintain releases cost-effectively with minimal risk and maximum confidence.

While this section on Methodology talks about specific practices and processes we adopt, please visit our section on Innovation to see how our Test Processes and Methodology fit into the comprehensive solution that we offer our clients

QA Process

QA Process:

Our test processes and methodology are strongly built on:

• A well defined test strategy and plan, to provide rigorous and structured testing
• Transparent and periodic communication with all the stakeholders
• Strong industry domain focus
• Strict use of metrics and in house frameworks to accurately measure and improve quality

One of our core test process frameworks is Qualitometer^TM, an IP that we built to objectively measure quality and provide our clients valuable insights into the over product health and test progress. Metrics that we leverage here cover Product Requirements Traceability, Test Progress and Defect Management. The core metrics from these categories along with a customized set that we decide in discussion with you, based on your product, its stage in the product life cycle, past performance etc. go a long way in establishing Qualitometer^TM as a true value addition and not a process overhead.

We have also been closely looking at providing Service Level Agreements for our clients, built off of our core test of metrics, which help our clients perceive the level of service to expect from us and also the quality of their product, when you entrust us your product’s testing efforts
