    How to start QA with an unwilling company?

    Sometimes you run into a situation where a company indicates a wish for QA but will not put in any effort to make it happen. It looks like a large effort to them and they cannot see any reason or benefit. In this case there are several steps that you can take to make this happen. We will discuss these over the next few weeks.

    The need for Quality never goes away; it just reappears in a different format each time. The same techniques often apply; it is just a different situation.

  • Quality Assurance

    For those who follow the blog, we gave it a rest over the summer. Not only were we busy with some security testing, we also had a several projects go-live at various dates. One more is going live right now. Between one thing and another, the summer seemed to pass more quickly than we expected. However, quality did not take a break and we are looking forward to the last part of the year for several reasons.

    1. Some of the rush to get critical items updated has abated.
    2. Projects are now running for more extended periods of time which will give more time to get the Quality right
    3. We are getting more buy-in from people with respect to the need for Quality. This is a welcome change

  • Quality Assurance 2022 – Step 7

    Quality Assurance 2022 – Step 7

    You have done everything that you can think of internally and you have spoken to outside people and used their input to further improve. At this time, it may be necessary to put the initiative on the back burner and wait for issues to pop up. We generally would not suggest this since it is hard enough to get a Quality Initiative going once, let alone, restarting it a second time but if you cannot think of anything further to do, it may be worse to keep pushing on something rather than stop and wait for something obvious to appear.

    Do not anticipate that because the initiative has been approved once that it is immune from further questions until it is completed.
