Quality Assurance Process
Quality Assurance or testing is indeed an imperative part of the software development process. The software development process is very challenging, and as lost of complexity is involved. we cannot ignore the chances of errors. T
he testing process helps use to detect the performance-killing bugs. However, application testing involves robust techniques to pinpoint errors and rectify them without affecting the overall cost and delivery time of the project.
At itaeon, We have experienced and talented professionals who have mastery over different advanced testing methods. Our QA professionals have remarkable knowledge of the software programming, and well-versed with testing any app on different devices, carriers and languages. itaeon is one of the premium offshore web and mobile app development companies in India, and have an extensive clientele that include webmasters, companies and individual worldwide. We are resourceful and have technical expertise for implementing the entire software testing cycle, starting from project analysis to deployment.
How Do We Assure Quality?
itaeon combines a systematic approach for quality assurance/testing-
Preparation:
After consulting with project manager, our QA team draft a test plan depending upon the Software Requirement Specifications (SRS), test cases and other details.
Test Execution:
After proposing the test plan and getting approval on the test case, Itaeon’s well-trained testers start testing work on the application. We use a range of proven software testing techniques.
Reporting Bugs:
The bugs or error found in our online system are reported to the developers in the form of screen shots and other graphical tools.
Fixing Bugs:After getting bug report, our developers technically fix them, test them, and again send to the QA department for verification before releasing it.
Testing Types At itaeon
User Interface Test:
This test is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the app. It thoroughly checks the extent of effective end user interaction with the mobile or web application. Additionally, it also evaluates the extent to which the app can direct the user’s action and enforce a consistent interaction. User Interface test also helps in-
Ensuring the application works as per the client’s requirement and incorporate other attributes of the analyzed model Finding out errors related specifically to interfaces working mechanismEnsuring that the end users should find the application design friendly and easy to access. There should not be any confusion between application content and design.
Navigation Test:
At itaeon, we perform navigation test on the application to make sure that the navigation semantics and syntax are added perfectly. We make it certain that the application navigation should work well with the hardware of the device. This test ensures that users land on app screen easily and navigate the application smoothly.
Usability Test:
Usability test is done for evaluating the applications by testing it on end users. This test entirely focuses on measuring the application’s capacity to meet its ultimate objective. itaeon conducts an on-demand User Acceptance Test (UAT) in which the application is tested by the end users. We share the testing guidelines via formal communication and make sure that they understand it properly and check user-friendliness of the application. Network Test:Network Testing ensure compliance of the application with different network carriers such as Wi-Fi, 3G, etc. Here, we test the flexibility and performance of the app under these networks and ensures smooth functionality of the app.
Quality Assurance on the web, often referred to as QA, is a proof and review of a product or deliverable – in our case web applications and websites. QA is independent of the design and development processes in order to test a product’s many uses in the myriad of ways an enduser, especially those unfamiliar with the software, might. The QA process is expected to discover design issues and development errors while testing a product’s user interface (UI) and gauging the user experience (UX).
Web QA can never be 100% complete because of the numerous testing variables present in web development. These variables include non-desktop devices, internet connection speeds, and operating systems. It is QA’s job to ensure a product works for > 99% of use cases. The applications used to access web products can have their own aggravating blocks and when backdated browsers are factored in it becomes understandable that QA can never realistically achieve 100% compatibility.
Interoperability is accomplished by combining various browsers, devices, and systems throughout the testing process to touch products through as many end user viewport lenses as possible. By testing these combinations thoroughly QA can be confident that the products are performing as expected for huge quantity of users.
QA, however, isn’t as cut-and-dry as checking a new application or website in modern browsers. Because of many end user’s internet preferences, browsers dating as far back as IE8 and Safari 5.1.7 are routinely used to access today’s products. A website that looks great in today’s current browsers may not look great in one of its backdated versions and it’s QA’s job to identify these rough spots and see the teams through to a fix.
Making use of every tool available to simulate various online interactions is the only way to confirm that a product is functioning as expected. One of the most handy tools we use are Virtual Machines (VMs) that can be booted up and used whenever they’re needed. These VMs hold backdated versions of many browsers, including Internet Explorer and Firefox releases, from more than five years ago.
The QA process is important in any industry that creates products. However, when the products are web applications and websites, your deliverables are thrust into heavy use by numerous people very quickly. Having test data to review can assure everyone involved that your product is ready to hit the ground running for the 99%.
