Software QA Services
Overview Customer satisfaction has become the motto of organizations that thrive in today's increasingly competitive world. The complexity of the problems addressed by software is growing rapidly. The ability to develop and deliver reliable, usable software within budget and schedule commitments continues to elude most software organizations. While the organizations are focusing on customer satisfaction, there is a growing perception that software quality is the weakest link in developing high quality products and applications. Inteq an ISO 9001 company, is committed to helping customers build high quality software through its focus on testing and quality assurance with proven test process and methodologies. Inteq has developed processes and methodologies that are optimized for testing and quality assurance functions. Our team of dedicated testing specialists and quality assurance engineers will help you deliver consistently high quality applications and products on time.
Our Approach Inteq follows a four-step approach for testing software products and applications: Test Process Analysis: Test Process analysis ensures overall test process and strategy’s are in place. The test goals, objectives, and strategies are defined, documented and communicated to the Project Team. Test Planning, Design and Development: During the test planning phase the test team identifies test procedure standards and guidelines; hardware, software and network requirements to support the test environment; test data requirements; a preliminary test schedule; performance measurement requirements; a procedure to control test configuration and environment management; and a defect tracking procedure and associated tracking tool. An overall test plan is prepared. The test design defines the number of tests to be performed and the ways that test will be approached. The test development phase is for test automation standards of reusable, repeatable and maintainable tests. Test Execution and Management: The test cases and the procedures are executed and the defects are tracked to closure. Test Program Review and Assessment: Following the test execution the test metrics are evaluated and reviewed.
Our Testing Cycle: The Software Testing Cycle is an iterative model through the analysis, planning, design, verification, development and testing and review phases. The software testing life cycle is applicable for all kinds of projects Concept development projects, New application development projects, Application enhancement projects, Application maintenance projects, Re-engineering projects etc. Based on the type and characteristics of the project the quality assurance and testing strategy required will be determined at the outset of the project. www.inteqsolutions.com
