  • Are your Product Issues Worrying You? – Part 2

    Are your Product Issues Worrying You? – Part 2

    Last week, we asked if your Product Issues were worrying you and suggested some reasons why this concern might arise. The question that might come up is: “Why Quality Assurance for addressing this concern?”. QA is more than just software testing, it is all about Process Improvement and reducing the chance of further errors. Whether you are a startup or someone with hundreds of applications, all the processes surrounding those applications can usually be improved. This is where QA comes in and can help you.

    Implementation

    Having completed, presented and obtained approval for the assessment, the next step is implementation. While this may be done either by the client or by the consultant supplying the assessment, one of the key aspects is to ‘assess the assessment’. In other words, make sure that what was correctly discovered is noted along with any misconceptions that might have been included in the assessment. These findings will feed into updates and course corrections along the way.

    Presentation Abstract:

    Organizations are often concerned that testing is not sufficiently focused on finding the problems that really matter. Testers often don’t know how to determine when they’ve tested enough. Testers are naturally inclined to test too much. So we test too much and probably regularly test the wrong things… The solution is simple: back to basics!

    Complete the Assessment

    Assuming the second round of questions provides complete information, it is time to synthesize the information and start the assessment process identifying any gaps, risks (both business and technical) and guidance on how to solve them with minimal impact on the business. Expect this process to go through many drafts (especially for a large company) while competing viewpoints on what is critical and how it can be solved are debated.
