A good strategy avoids chaotic or redundant test routines. Timely quality control of all system components is the result of carefully planned timing in the testing strategy for each stage of software quality assurance. This helps you optimize your effort and reduce unplanned costs.

At the initial stage of the project, an initial assessment of the timing is carried out and a work plan is developed with reference to the stages of development and release of releases. A set of tests of different types and their sequence is selected, labor costs for each stage are estimated. The plan includes:

• choice of methodology and tools;
• determination of goals and duration of each stage;
• scope of work: coverage and types of testing used;
• labor planning and structure of the project team;
• development of test documentation and reporting.

We cover all stages of high-quality software development from the formulation of requirements and the final release to the implementation of the software solution and its operation. We pay great attention to testing quality management, assessing the quality and effectiveness of testing at all stages of development and operation in accordance with the international standard ISO 9126 and GOST R 51904-2002.

Stages of the full testing cycle

A complete testing cycle usually coincides with a development iteration or corresponds to a specific part of it. The approach to verifying the health of a software product is similar to evaluating a product from an end user, so it is worth involving a specialist in the work at the earliest stage – during the collection and analysis of requirements. It is ideal when the discussion of system components takes place with the participation of the developer, user and QA analyst.

Defining testing goals
Selecting the fragments to be tested and formulating the testing tasks
Verifying the testing method
Setting up test environments and tools and executing individual tests
We confirm the correctness of the assembly
We conduct preliminary tests for the content of obvious errors
Testing
We develop the necessary tests and perform them in manual or automatic mode
Evaluating the results
We determine the criteria for the completion and success of testing
Improving test suites
We describe and save tests, environment settings and tools for subsequent cycles
