“Where there is human, there is an error”
We are determined to make sure the products we are developing are consistent with your requirements, no matter how unique those requirements are. The way to assure this level of quality is through quality assurance, which is crucial for any software development lifecycle. Through years, we have adopted QA processes that have proven themselves over and over again.
Due to the nature of our work, we are well aware that error could occur in any product with human influence. That said, in this age where just one flaw in your software can cause billions of dollars in waste, even one error is one too many. That is why automation is an important part of quality management. This is where our NextDeveloper-built custom automation software comes into play. Other teams might struggle introducing automation with semi-automated solutions, while we comfortably work with our own software to keep the quality high, along with industry standard tools, of course.
We put a lot of care into making sure that the project is on track, has a minimum amount of bugs and security problems, and is always kept up to date. By having a serious QA process in place, we aim to prevent product defects before they can even emerge.
The main software quality attributes we strive to deliver are;
| Functionality | Reliability | Usability |
|---|---|---|
| We ensure that the functions of the product are appropriate, correctly implemented and interact well with other components. We make sure you can trust the product with data. | We check if the product can function during specific scenarios, doesn’t fail often and can recover fast. We want to make sure you can rely on our product | We want our products to be easy-to-use and accessible for users. We check learnability, operability, user-error protection and more. |
| Efficiency | Maintainability | Portability |
|---|---|---|
| We always strive for efficiency while coding. Anything from resource use to time management, we will find the best way to get the job done. | There will always be changes and fixes. We assure that our product can easily be worked on in the future. | The product should be easily malleable. What about the adaptation to those changes? We want to make sure that the components can be replaced with low effort. |
Our DevOps team performs testing at each step of the creation process to detect and solve any flaws in the code. That is highly related to the efficiency element, since early detection of errors is of great importance to the entire cost and time management. Small errors snowball into big flaws in the product, there is no way to notice such errors without a proper QA process.
