Quality is our business

The core business of the QA Solutions Unit is software testing. Our certified software testing professionals provide expertise in test management, test planning, functional, non functional (Security, Performance, Usability, pseudo-localization (internationalization aspects of software), desktop and mobile, multi-browser, manual and automated testing.
Their most important testing duties are in information technology systems related to airline, telecommunications, luxury goods, medical and IT sectors, where they typically carry out testing throughout all the project life-cycle: from gathering requirements phase, system test, integration tests and up to user acceptance testing (UAT).

PUREQUAD EMPLOYS TWO MAIN TECHNIQUES FOR TESTING

Either a formal testing in the form of test scripts & tests plans that are normally performed as User Acceptance Testing. This is required by some of our clients who, for compliance purposes, require that we adopt their development methodology. When using this approach, PureQuad develops functional specifications that are based on use case with detailed scenarios for each use case. Much of this documentation can then be leveraged for developing test scripts which essentially are almost identical to the scenarios described in the functional specifications. This approach reduces the effort in developing test scripts and it also ensures that the test plans cover all of the functionality of an application.

Testing integrated within an agile approach adopted for the project. As example many of the PureQuad consultants are certified for SCRUM where testing forms an integral part of the sprints that make up the evolutionary design of an application As client environments cannot always be set-up for pure SCRUM methods, PureQuad has evolved its own hybrid form of SCRUM which enables to combine elements of a waterfall approach with those of an agile system. With this hybrid approach, user testing can be included (in a controlled manner) during the development phase to ensure that customer feedback can be gathered and incorporated earlier into the design of an application
