The Application Development Lifecycle


Application Development Lifecycle

Throughout the Application Development Lifecycle (ADL), quality assurance checks need to be carried out to ensure your new or upgraded application is error and risk free. Different stages of the ADL require very different QA checks. Regardless of what stage you are at, whether it be at initial planning stage or at the final reporting and auditing stage, you can be confident that Original Software will have a solution to assist you.

 

Areas to consider during the Application Development Lifecycle.

 

Planning & Control.

Implementing an effective planning and control solution for your testing activities will promote efficiency, improve communications and organizational structure. Better planning and control means fewer mistakes.

 

Manual Testing

Despite the proliferation of automated solutions, manual testing still accounts for over half of all testing. Imagine what life would be like if you could cut the time you spent on manual testing by half. With Original Software this dream is now reality with the revolutionary TestDrive-Assist. A solution specifically designed to assist manual testing.

 

Data Management

Test Data Management (TDM) is fundamental to the success of your data strategy; after all, data drives the entire testing procedure. With bad data comes poor testing, results you cannot trust, and a whole lot of wasted time money and effort. It pays to get the data management right.

 

Software Test Automation

Effectively deployed software automation solutions can have a significantly positive effect on functional and regression testing timescales. With code free technology and self updating scripts, you can be  assured that your  testing assets will be re-usable, easy to use, easy to manage, and virtually maintenance free. Unlike some other tools we could mention.

 

Load Testing

Replicating the behavior on an application under stress can help avoid machine overloads, unnecessary  infrastructure investments and the implementation of enhancements that fail to scale up. An effective load test will provide assurances that your application or website will cope with heavy simultaneous usage without crashing.

 

Results, Reporting & Corporate Governance

For many corporate compliance mandates, and for general testing best practice, it is key that your company develops its own IT best practice methodology. A QA plan that formalizes how you company handles change to software systems. This means that for every system change you must be able to show what was tested, when it was tested, how, by whom, what were the results, how many defects were there, and how they were rectified before going live.

 

A daunting prospect? Well let us show you how you can quickly start to build a software QA compliance process, while cutting the costs of your QA at the same time. Its time to move that mountain.
