BEST PRACTICES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR QA & SOFTWARE TESTING
Our QA team is involved early in the SDLC to identify and resolve potential issues before functionality is implemented and becomes costly to fix. Testers are involved in reviewing requirements to ensure they are clear, complete, and testable. They also work closely with developers to understand code structure and potential points of failure.
Gearheart testers conduct a thorough testing analysis that includes activities such as product decomposition, prioritization, feature dependency analysis, and change impact analysis, which provides a deep understanding of the product and defines a clear and complete testing scope. Appropriate test design techniques are used to help reduce the number of test cases to a manageable level while maintaining comprehensive coverage.
QA team performs CI/CD activities such as deployment on test servers, and creation of dynamic environments when a task needs to be verified separately before merging to the release branch. This reduces dependency on developers, makes it easier to set up test environments in a timely manner, and promotes a more efficient and collaborative software development process.
Metrics are used to assess various aspects of the testing process (e.g. test cases coverage, progress of testing, etc.) and the quality of the product (defect density, percent of customer issues, etc.). The metrics provide insights and help to make informed decisions for continuous improvement.
On large projects, we conduct regular QA calls with demonstrations of new features and test cases updates, discussing issues and improvements in QA processes.
