    Presentation Abstract: When I started my career twenty years ago, software quality basically meant “no bugs,” and testing meant executing a finite set of cases. Since then, I’ve watched the concept evolve alongside significant shifts in technology and industry practices. Because these changes have been largely additive, we face an ever-expanding horizon of what “good” software looks like.

    In this talk, I offer a definition of modern software quality that incorporates the many expectations accumulated from technological and process trends such as Agile, automated testing, cloud hosting, DevOps, and AI. Drawing on my own painful experiences with neglecting or misunderstanding the evolving dimensions of quality, I’ll share examples of what I’ve learned from them and what effective practices can look like.

    Startups and Small Organisations need to consider the Customer Experience, Business Value and Adhere to Security and Compliance for their clients.  They also need to consider making the project Scalable, make sure the users are involved and that they are Agile.

    QA and QC can help with all of these items but they are  frequently ignored until it is too late.    Then when the product is released there is a scramble to make updates and release items without proper testing.  Putting in QA earlier resolves these problems.

    This webinar will address the benefits of QA for Startups and Small Organisations.

  • If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

    If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

    While the quote above may be correct when referring to shoes (as long as the ‘just like it’ includes making it for the other foot), it is certainly not applicable to any software or any assessment. 

    This came up in a different context a couple of days ago with regard to documentation. A solution that was provided for one document was ported to another without consideration of the differences.

    Each project has many unique characteristics (otherwise we could simply grab an existing solution and implement it without concern) so every assessment will be different. Each assessment will return a different answer and nothing other should be assumed. Every situation is not only dependent on the technology being used but also the selected design usually driven by market considerations.

    NVP’s assessments are crafted with that consideration in mind. Every situation is unique and the assessment process allows for that.  There are no preconceived notions.
