QUALITY ASSURANCE

Our Quality Assurance team will allow you to deliver a product beyond expectations.  Using a specialised Quality Assurance team means that your software developers aren’t testing their own work, resulting in a better allocation of resources.  Utilising formal testing protocols, we offer manual and automated testing solutions, including integration into your documentation or operation system. 

We offer the full suite of testing and quality assurance services, including:

• Building and developing testing and quality assurance plans
• Manual Testing including Acceptance, Black Box, Compatibility, Exploratory, Functional, Regression and Usability Testing
• Smoke testing
• Automation testing
• Integration with Azure / AWS
• Create and maintain Test documentation including Test Case Development, Test Plan and Test Strategy

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

Technical documentation is critical to your project’s ongoing success.  It allows you to

• handle changes in key team members seamlessly
• trace bugs quickly and effectively
• deal with third party software upgrades effectively
• implement trouble free code upgrades
• provide a better user experience
• deal with infrastructure changes easily

Our Technical Writers enable you to protect your Intellectual Property as it transfers personal individual held knowledge into readily available, valuable intellectual property.  It prevents theft of software functionality through malicious lack of handover of key information, meaning you are not faced with mounting cost of downtime and rewrites because small changes have unforeseen cascading effects.  Technical documentation can save you a fortune when team members change, as handover is seamless.  It’s like key man insurance, but you only have to pay the premium once.
