Adding Quality Assurance only to the end of product development adds immense unpredictability to the entire cycle. Invariably this leads to a compression of the QA cycle and hence a serious drop in quality. So why does most of quality assurance get executed this way? We didn’t just ask ourselves that question; we found a solution to the issue. In our Assured Quality program (built-in to every product development cycle) we build quality checks at various stages of development.
Continuous Involvement
The CoreObjects Quality Assurance team is involved throughout the full product development process, from the collection of marketing requirements to the deployment of the application on production servers. Our test-driven product development methodology emphasizes testing throughout the application with significant levels of automation and regression testing to eliminate the reintroduction of previously fixed bugs.
From the initial market requirements phase of the project, our QA team is busy carefully planning for the delivery of a quality product. In the first few weeks of the project the QA team develops a robust test strategy. As soon as elements of the market requirements document are available, the team begins constructing test plans that will drive quality assurance across the numerous development iterations that will take place during the development of the product.
CoreObjects has extensive experience performing quality assurance throughout the full product develop lifecycle. Our experience and offerings include:
