Our approach to software testing and QA

Quality assurance is one of the most important parts of the software development lifecycle. Software testing and QA management represents the process of taking your project’s requirements, building a test plan, writing the tests, planning the test activities and capturing the results. Our approach includes 5 levels of QA and software testing management.

01

Level 1

This QA and software test management level assumes there is no tester/QA specialist in the project team and the testing effort is entirely done by developers through cross functional and unit tests.

Since there will be no system testing, in order to minimize the risks and to ensure that particular units of code work as expected, the development team should invest time in unit tests. In this level there is no dedicated QA engineer in the team.

02

Level 2

In order to react quickly to changes and adapt accordingly the test approach, the focus is on exploratory testing. This is a process that allows the tester to respond to each test in a way that should maximize focus on the most relevant risks.

All items from the current iteration are tested based on the exploratory method and only smoke tests are run for the already existing features. In this level there is 1 QA engineer for every 4 developers in a team.

03

Level 3

For this level, the QA specialists in the project team are focused on both exploratory testing for the new features, as well as systematic regression testing for the entire application. Prior to any new release, both functional and non-functional regression tests will be manually executed in order to verify that a code change in the software does not impact the existing functionality of the product.

To create the regression suite, test cases should be created for the most critical important functionalities of the software. In this level there is 1 QA engineer for every 3 developers in a team.

04

Level 4

At the beginning of each iteration, elaborated test cases are created for each new feature which will be developed. Furthermore, the most vital test cases will be included in the regression suite.

The goal at this level is to evaluate whether the system has complied with all of the outlined requirements and to see that it meets the quality standards. This applies not only for regression but also to the functionalities developed in the current iteration. This test management level assumes 1 QA engineer for every 2 developers in a team.

05

Level 5

This level is an addition to either level 2 or 3, and it is implemented by automating the regression suite and maintaining it each iteration. This will enhance the testing process by reducing the manual testing hours.

This level is focused on functional and regression testing based on elaborated test cases, executed in planned test sessions during the iteration. This test management level assumes 2 QA engineer for every 2-3 developers in a team.

FAQ

What is software testing?

Software testing is the process of validating whether software functions correctly, meets requirements, and is free of critical defects. This involves a wide range of testing types, from functional to performance testing.

What is the difference between QA and software testing?

QA (Quality Assurance) focuses on optimizing the entire development process, while software testing is a part of it that specifically targets the validation of software functionality.

What testing methods are there?

NetRom applies a variety of methods, including:

– Black box & white box testing
– Agile testing
– Exploratory testing
– CI/CD-integrated testing
– Load and usability testing

At NetRom Software, we combine expertise with advanced tools to ensure software quality. Want to know how we can strengthen your software project? Get in touch with us for a consultation.

Is QA testing (Quality Assurance) the same as software testing?

No. While both aim to deliver high-quality software, they differ in scope. Software testing focuses solely on identifying bugs and defects through various testing methods. QA services, on the other hand, encompass a broader range of activities:

– Software testing: As mentioned above, remains a critical component.
– Process improvement: Identifying and optimizing the entire development process to minimize future issues.
– Risk management: Proactively identifying and mitigating potential problems before they become costly bugs.
– Standards and best practices: Ensuring the development team adheres to industry standards and best practices, leading to higher quality software.

Software testing and QA services together form an umbrella that covers testing as well as other activities aimed at preventing issues and improving the overall software development process.

How does NetRom ensure the quality of developed software?

NetRom follows a carefully designed QA workflow to guarantee the quality of the software it delivers. This QA workflow is based on several core principles, outlined below, to clarify both the rationale behind it and the practical step-by-step approach it represents.

1. QA members must be aware of the project status (client requirements, development phase, project priorities, releases, task planning, QA task planning, etc.). This awareness ensures better understanding and focus in their work.

2. All QA members must work according to a plan. They are expected to actively participate in QA task planning to be prepared for upcoming test sessions. This leads to greater efficiency in their work.

3. QA members should maintain written documentation (e.g., “QA Project Monitor”) to ensure clear visibility of the project’s QA status at any given time. This benefits their own activity as well as that of the PM and other levels of management.

4. It is valuable to keep a complete inventory of the project’s QA history for easy identification of any issues following a client release or other quality concerns (test request forms, test reports, QA monitors/tasks, etc.).

5. A formal workflow must be established for all tasks carried out by QA members, applicable across all projects. This improves communication within the project team and increases overall work efficiency.

6. The QA project process is managed by the PM in collaboration with QA members. Project-specific QA tasks are carried out by the QA team.

7. NetRom’s QA process and procedures are designed to:

– Ensure consistency in the general QA approach across project teams;
– Guarantee visibility of the QA process for all projects, enabling knowledge sharing across project teams and within the QA department;
– Achieve higher project quality through the continuous improvement of the Quality Assurance process.

What tools and frameworks do NetRom Software engineers use to ensure software quality?

There are many types of tools and frameworks available for software and QA testing. Some of the most commonly used ones that we also implement include:

Selenium: A framework for automating web browser interactions and creating automated tests for web applications.

JUnit: A testing framework for Java applications that provides annotations and assertion methods for writing and running unit tests.

– Cucumber: A BDD (Behavior Driven Development) tool that allows you to create human-readable test cases.

– LoadRunner: A performance testing tool that simulates various user loads to evaluate performance and scalability.
