QA & Testing

Software Testing and Quality Assurance are vital to the process of software development. Testing involves examining an application under a control situation to detect the things that are likely to go wrong in real time. Quality Assurance, on the other hand, involves monitoring the processes involved in software development to ensure that it is free of defects and meets expected standards. Depending on the business requirements, there are several different methods that can be adopted for Software Testing and Quality Assurance.

Full lifecycle testing - This is the most comprehensive test that involves testing at every stage of the development lifecycle, from start to finish, to ensure an application's complete adherence to quality. Testing methods vary from the classic approach of end-to-end testing to flexible methods that adapt to real time project conditions.

Functional Testing - Tests are conducted to evaluate if the software performs correctly and conforms to requirements or standards. This includes testing live products to allow additions or modifications to be made without disrupting the application. Tests can be carried out to verify functionality of user actions, APIs, user interface, database management and networking, among other aspects.

Performance and Stress Testing - Usually done to determine the performance and stability of the software, tests are done to verify how well the software works in normal as well as extreme conditions and to determine its breaking point, so that is can be evaluated against standards.

Security Testing - This process involves testing various parameters to ensure that the end user is protected against loss of data or intrusions due to theft of data, unauthorized access, malware or fraudulent online payments. Security testing includes testing the system as per accepted industry standards and ensuring data integrity without having to monitor or upgrade security tools constantly.

Test Automation - If there are multiple tests that need to be replicated as part of the QA process, test automation can be used to develop, deploy and run automated assessments of the software based on requirements.

Setting up in-house QA teams - This involves experts studying the business requirements and assisting with setting up a QA team, from hiring the right people to training them and setting up processes.

Pre-certification testing - If an application is aiming at getting a certification, completing a pre certification testing against the specified standards can ensure that it gets certified right at the first attempt.

Process Audit - Experts analyze the various processes involved in the software development process to verify if it meets norms or standards and suggest recommendations for improvement.
