QA Testing

Testing a software application and maintaining international testing standards in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process and assuring the quality of the product to the customer is one of the challenging jobs in the IT industry. Are you really excited to know about the software testing and quality assurance (QA) process at MindInventory? In this blog, we’ll show you how the quality assurance activities are been carry forwarded in order to achieve customer satisfaction by maintaining industrial standards during web and mobile app development. Why We Need to Instill the Testing After the Development Process of Any Product? In real-world scenarios, the development process has got boom by growing rapidly where everyone focuses much on the development process. When the software is been developed by the developer, they could not able to test the application with respect to the real-world scenarios. For example, a chef who cooks a dish will never find any difficulties or issues in his own dish, someone has to taste it and tell how the dish is, and no one dares to tell and accept that there are some issues within the task or work they have done. In the same way when the software has been developed then it has to undergo a certain testing process where the developed software will be validated against the business/customer requirements. What QA Brings for Clients? The below are the some of the benefits that Quality Analyst (QA) will bring for your products: 1. QA Saves You Money If your product is having a fault then that product will cost you and your customers. If the bug is undetected in your software for a long period of time then it will be more difficult to manage and too expensive to fix it. By hiring QA, You can improve the quality throughout the development process of your product and you will save time and money. 2. QA Inspires Confidence for your Application In this competitive world, the main thing that we need to be strong enough is that how confident we are with our product before releasing it into the market. Always with corporate software, the stakes will be higher. This is colossally important for delivering quality in software and maintaining long-term relationships. So, Here QA builds confidence for your application. 3. QA Maintains Great User Experience Nowadays, the software that is being developed should be right from the User Experience (UX) point of view. As the user interface either make your business or break your business. If the user experience of any software is not good then literally users will not be showing interest and get frustrated in using your software application. So, Here QA tests the software with an end-user experience. 4. QA Boosts Customer Satisfaction If the developed product is bug-free and working fine as expected in such a way that the user really enjoys then the fame and reputation of your product will be high and customers will be satisfied and more users can be attracted. This makes good money as well. We need to give them the best satisfaction in such a way that they’ll be rewarding us with loyalty. 5. QA Promotes Organization, Productivity Instead of waiting for the whole product to be developed, organizing the QA activities at the initial stage of software development will bring you more productivity for your software, which can be achieved within your target time. Only bug-free software can bring good promotion to your products and good productivity of your projects. How the Software Testing is Processed at MindInventory? Here, In MindInventory we follow the international standard software testing process in sequential manner as mentioned below: 1. Requirement Analysis The initial phase of every software development life cycle is that the Business Analyst will interact with the client to confirm and finalize the project requirements. Then, later on the specification document will be prepared which includes detailed information about the tools, technologies, strategies that have to be exercised for the software development and this document will be transparent in order to perceive the project flow among the team. Then later on the Quality Assurance (QA) lead and senior software test engineers will determine the business logic-related challenges that might emerge which benefit the workflow of the development and testing process. We strictly followed Google’s, Apple’s developer guidelines and instructions, wireframe guidelines, user interface guidelines while developing an Application. 2. Test Planning In this phase, the Quality Assurance (QA) lead and senior software test engineers will prepare the test plan document which includes: To determine the Scope and Objective of testing. List of features to be tested. List of features not to be tested. Type of approach to be followed while testing the software either manual or automation. The number of resource allocation for testing. Type of training if any the resources should undergo. Risks that might be involved during the testing process. A schedule of tasks and milestones to be achieved. Determine test deliverables. 3. Test Case Development In this phase, the QA team will start designing the test cases (How to test) for the selected test scenarios (What to test) of the real-world scenarios for the application. Test cases will enable the software test engineers to perform a sequence of steps to be followed to ensure that a software product is bug-free and the functionality of the software is working as expected from the end-user point of view. 4. Test Environment Setup It is a test bed where the software and hardware environment come into picture on which the test cases will be executed by the testing team. This test includes hardware and software configuration, operating system settings, test terminals, and other supported tools (which may vary depending upon projects). The test environment consists of real-world business and end-user environments. As this is the most crucial aspect of the testing process, we’ll make sure that the product works fine and meet the needs of end-users on all environments which have been set up. 5. Test
