QA Strategy development

In order to truly impact application quality in large, globally distributed development efforts that involve multiple internal and 3rd party teams, an enterprise IT organization needs a strong QA strategy that is aligned with its business objectives, software development methodology, and sourcing approach.

Allied works closely with the clients’ IT leadership, PMO and QA organizations to build and implement comprehensive QA strategies capable of addressing complex testing needs of today’s sophisticated enterprise buyers. A successful strategy will include the following elements:

  • QA methodologies, processes and procedures aligned with the client’s SDLC
  • Unified test management approach and defect management process
  • Knowledge management process
  • Tools, automation and infrastructure
  • UAT management approach
  • Testing environment management process
  • QA sourcing strategy for optimal mix of onsite and remote resources

Automation strategy

As complexity of IT projects increases so do the demands for quality assurance teams to decrease execution times and deliver higher efficiencies. A lot of focus has been aimed at automated testing tools, and while a well-executed automated strategy can visibly increase productivity, there are also many pitfalls.

QA engineers face a challenging task of choosing the right tool for their requirements. It is only by using the right tool intelligently and thoughtfully that they can reap benefits of automated testing. Our experts can help you make the right decisions when choosing from the myriads of available tools and develop your automated testing strategies to increase the benefits of automated testing even further.

QA process audit

Inadequate quality assurance and testing processes result in production failures, which in turn can have costly effects on the business. Process improvements in testing and QA, on the other hand, can make a dramatic impact on the application quality and bring significant cost savings. Allied Testing’s specialists work with our clients’ QA organizations to assess the maturity and strength of their testing processes, and identify the changes needed to achieve the overall quality goals.
