Quality Assurance & Testing

We resolve real issues before they become expensive to change

Our key strategy in reducing defects, both in the user interface and in the application logic, is to request feedback from the customer as early as possible. During early development stages, we record short screencasts that demonstrate feature progress. Then, we deploy working software (even for a limited feature set) to a test environment for clients to use. Early feedback allows for changes and a greater understanding of the product before change becomes difficult.

Beyond that, there are several layers of testing that can be done, which are usually determined by cost and project requirements:

• Our developers unit test the features they implement.

• Sometimes, for larger projects that are mission critical or likely to be altered frequently, we will write automated unit tests.

• There is always a team lead on a project, who is regularly working in the code, so this developer acts as a “smoke tester,” raising defects found while working on the project.

• Lastly, if there is the budget for it, we will use full-time, dedicated testers.

We will work with you early and often to ensure a high-quality application.
