Test smarter – Develop faster

Organizations these days strive for having a near-perfect development and release process in order to meet demands from the customers to deliver a high quality product quickly. This puts a high amount of pressure on the testing process, lest it becomes the bottleneck.  Having a well-defined quality assurance process in place, augmented with some ingenious tools to aid testing, is the need of the hour.

Testing is no longer a one-time process, it is a continuous process, right from the inception to delivery. It is also a part of a bigger picture – Quality assurance.

Let’s see how having a QA process in place helps the development cycle

Quality assurance is a part of the Quality management system that provides a systematic monitoring, measuring, verification and feedback process to make sure that the end product is free of defects and adheres to customer requirements.

A significant amount of time and budget is spent in understanding the requirements, translating them to test cases, having a well-defined test plan and ensuring that the customer gets his/her money’s worth. 

Just having a process in place does not directly culminate into a high quality product. Implementing it, and that too smartly, to achieve desired end results is the key.

For understanding sake, we can categorize the QA process in two broad categories: Basic QA and Advanced QA.

A quick peek into the nuances of basic QA and advanced QA

There are disadvantages like inflexibility and lack of customization attached with basic QA. Advanced QA builds on the basic QA to go a few steps further and addresses more complex scenarios.

Where do you spend your time and resources today?

Most teams end up spending a major chunk of time performing basic QA. Also, it is a well-known fact that incorrect estimation leads to delays. But, there are few hidden whirlpools in test related activities that suck away the time.

Besides, these usual suspects, lack of proper SLA with the service provider also contributes to roadblocks, eventually leading to waste of time. Following data from the World Quality report 2019-2020 by Capgemini also substantiates this.

These numbers speak a lot and raise important questions:

• Where am I spending extra time?”
• “How can we optimize that process and increase overall test velocity?”
• “What can be done to reduce the number of test cycles?”
• “Just because we have designed test cases, should we really execute all of them?”
• “Is there a more efficient way to handle the reported bugs?”
• “Do I need to invest extra resources?”

Webomates’ answer to these questions… 

Webomates CQ portal is totally aligned with agile methodology and can seamlessly integrate in your CI/CD process. The whole setup can be done within a matter of hours.

Our patented AI Test Strategy and creator, along with a highly competent team of experienced analysts and testers, can help you in devising a test strategy for your application. 

We have an advanced human assisted AI system that can create thousands and more test scenarios, execute the tests and provide the user with triaged pass/fail reports.

The test scripts generated by our system can be executed on multiple platforms. They are easily readable and understandable, even for complex scenarios, thus saves a significant amount of time while reviewing and modifying. 

We have ensured that our test model is defined to target effective regression by helping in regenerating/modifying test cases for self-healing and retesting them, to reflect the changes in build release.

Our test case based testing is augmented with exploratory testing. This helps in looking for bugs in unforeseen scenarios and saves you the whole exercise of revisiting and looking for them, in case they crop up much later in the test cycle.

As a reference point, for a particular customer, we had set up almost 1.5k test packages within 4 weeks over 14 applications in mobile, browser and API test suites. This resulted in 200% decrease in production defects and 11x increase in feature velocity.

Webomates’ AI defect predictor can predict defects earlier in the cycle, thus saving precious time. Thousands of man hours spent in triaging can be saved by using the Defect Predictor.

The test results are triaged and are communicated via email and are also available in real-time on Webomates CQ portal. The defect videos provided with the report help developers in replicating the defect easily.As you can see that we have answers to questions raised earlier.
