What are the importance of quality assurance and the role of software engineering in software development?

Answer 1

You need to deliver good product, on time, consistently to succeed. The real challenge is to deliver successful product not just once, but again and again. To do this, you have to start at the beginning, with sound strategy, the right processes and tools. Futurism will set you on the road to repeatable quality. Futurism can help you to make your product successful with high quality of standard. Futurism has years of experience on managing software engineering and QA team. We know first hand what works and what doesn't. What you will get is great value from Day One; you get actionable feedback right from the start. Futurism can jump right in to rigorously test your software under development while we work with you to improve the quality of product in the pipeline and those that are just a "Glimmer in your eye". We will examine your company's strategy, culture, organization and quality processes from our unique perspective. The results will surprise you! We perform a detailed review of your documented processes and policies; interview a cross-section of employees and extensively analyze and report the findings and recommendations. You receive feedback and suggestions as we go through the assessment, so you can begin making changes now that will have an immediate impact. If you did rather own and operate your own QA department and need it fast, but don't have the time or resources to build it, Futurism will design and build a QA Department for you. We will recruit the staff, establish QA and test processes and tools, set up compensation plans and job descriptions and position the department in your company. You don't have to deal with any of that. Or, if you already have a QA department but want to put 100 percent of your focus on your core business, our seasoned professionals can manage your existing department. We provide high-quality system testing services within a budget and work plan. We offer a comprehensive suite of services targeted at testing an application thoroughly from an end users perspective. Consequently, we give customers the assurance that the product is bug free at the time of release. We design customized implementations based on approval methodology and experience in a wide range of technologies. Our standard testing stages include the following deliverables: * • Software Requirement Specification documents (SRS) * • Software Test Planning (STP) * • Software Test Automation Planning * • Design the testing concept and resource planning * • Software Test Description (STD) * • Implement the concept into test cases * • Automating Test Cases * • Writing Test Script Language (TSL) * • Executing test cases and Test Scripts * • Immediately - Bugs and Report: * *# • Test execution and analyze the results *# • Reporting bugs * • End of Cycle - Software Test Report (STR): * *# • Preparation for release / production and maintenance *# • Regression testing set and QA procedure folder *# • Maintain history of all above documents.

* • SQA Auditing Futurism's main services include: * • Turnkey project * • QA group establishment * • Reinforcing * • QA consulting * • QA training and guidance * • Tool and solution evaluation * • Specialized Testing / Quality Assurance Services: * *# • Unit Testing *# • Functional Testing *# • Integration Testing *# • System Testing *# • Acceptance Testing *# • Sustained Testing *# • Regression Testing *# • Alpha Testing *# • Beta Testing * • Test Planning * • Software Requirement Specification * • Test Specification Design * • Risk Analysis * • QA Matrices * • Test Procedure Development * • Automated Test Scripting * • Test Execution Test Strategy A product's test strategy ties its release and sign-off criteria to its business objectives. The overall testing strategy is defined in collaboration with the customer. This involves figuring out the order for scheduling so that test planning, test case design, test automation and test execution take into account key dependencies. Meaningful scheduling requires a clear understanding of sequencing and ETAs for several aspects of product development: Completion of low- and high-level specifications; Code-complete; Completion of component unit-testing (when QA can begin integration testing); UI-freeze (after which QA can be confident that • UI level automation will not break repeatedly due to fluctuating UI and screen layouts, and • That API-level automation will not be undermined by changes in interfaces/API's). Identifying the key tradeoffs is essential, for it is impossible to test all scenarios, cover the full configuration matrix, and automate all test cases, while remaining within the practical limits of time and budget. Be sure that decisions about tradeoffs are in concert with tradeoffs on the development side; otherwise development and test will have conflicting priorities. This is the stage in which project focus is established.
