Quality Assurance
Distillery never stops short of perfection… and that’s reflected in every process.
Distillery’s Quality Assurance culture
Our culture of Quality Assurance permeates through every step of the development cycle, including:
- Innovation
- Strategy
- Proactive planning
- Early testing
- Risk management
What is Quality Assurance?
Quality Assurance (QA) is a common term defined as the process that ensures the quality of products and services throughout the lifecycle of development, launch, and usage. QA is an ongoing process involving activities such as planning, design, testing, and continuous improvement.
Well-defined and structured QA helps organizations improve the quality of their products and services, while also reducing the risk of defects and failures, ultimately increasing customer satisfaction in the process.
At Distillery, we take QA to the next level, testing all of our software products at every stage of development to identify and resolve any defects before the software is released to market. We adhere to the highest quality standards, as OK is simply not good enough for us.
Why is Quality Assurance important?
So much of the success (or failure) of software development revolves around its reliability, usability, workability, and security. If even one of these items is off when it goes to market, it can sink the project.
By making Quality Assurance an integral part of the software development process, Distillery helps our partner organizations improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their software development efforts. In this way, all of our software development projects meet the needs of our clients’ customers.
Distillery’s QA PoV
Automated Testing
Automated Testing increases efficiency and mitigates cost risks, and is an ideal solution for long-term clients. Distillery has deep expertise developing automation frameworks, including continuous testing and integration. Automated testing is a software testing method in which test cases are executed automatically without manual intervention. The tests are written in code and use test frameworks and tools to automate the testing process. Automated testing is performed using scripts that can be run repeatedly, ensuring that the software remains stable and free of defects, even as new features are added. Some benefits of automated testing include increased efficiency and reliability, reduced costs, and faster feedback on the quality of the software. The process provides a powerful solution to help you save time and money while maintaining the stability and high quality of your software. By automating your test cases, you can ensure the software remains stable, even as new features are added. Our team understands the benefits of automation and how it can improve the efficiency and reliability of your testing process. With faster feedback on issues and increased efficiency, you can focus on what really matters: delivering high-quality software to your customers.
When it comes to developing automation frameworks that fit your specific needs, our team has you covered! With extensive experience using a variety of different technologies, we can develop customized automation frameworks that are tailored to your unique requirements. Whether you need to test complex software systems or streamline your testing process, our team can develop the right solution for you.
Agile Testing
Our Agile testing approach aligns with the principles of Agile software development, where testing is integrated into the development process, allowing for early identification and resolution of any deviation. This ensures your product meets the requirements and is of the highest quality.
Agile testing involves close collaboration between the development and testing teams. This helps to provide quick feedback on the quality of your software, and ensures that it will fulfill the needs of the users. Automated testing is also an important part of our Agile testing approach, supporting the fast pace of Agile development.
By embracing our Agile testing services, you can enjoy a speedier software development process, higher quality software, and a competitive edge in your industry.
Mobile Testing
We understand mobile applications are crucial nowadays, and ensuring their quality is of utmost importance.
That’s why Distillery offers mobile testing services, specifically designed to cover various aspects of a mobile application, including compatibility with different versions of operating systems, screen sizes, resolutions, and hardware configurations. We conduct both functional and non-functional testing, which includes performance, security, and usability testing. Our team of experts can perform mobile testing manually or using automated testing tools, depending on your specific needs.
With the increasing complexity of mobile applications and the growing popularity of mobile devices, mobile testing has become an essential part of the software development lifecycle.
API Testing
API Testing is a crucial aspect of software development that helps ensure that your software is of high quality, performs well, and is secure. An API (Application Programming Interface) allows different software applications to communicate with each other, exchange data, and perform specific tasks.
This process can be conducted manually, but it can also be automated using specialized tools.
The benefits of API testing are numerous. Conducting comprehensive API testing can help enhance the overall quality of your software. API testing can help you identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your system. Automated API testing can speed up the testing process and reduce the time-to-market, saving you both time and money. In addition, API testing ensures that different software applications can communicate with each other seamlessly, making integration between systems much easier. Finally, when your API works as expected, your end-users will have a better experience using your software.
We have a team of experienced QA professionals who will work closely with you to ensure that your API is thoroughly tested and meets all of your requirements. If you’re interested in learning more about our API testing services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. We’re always here to help!
