Quality Assurance & Testing

We perform quality assurance and testing (including both unit and integration testing) as part of our application development and implementation services. We also offer quality assurance and testing services to our customers for their own products.

Challenges for Clients
  • In-house resources and expertise to effectively test products before marketing them.
  • Slower time-to-market for products because of product quality.
  • Partner company's expertise in client's line of products, so as to be able to test it well.
  • Security - whether the product information and source code/design will be secure with a third party vendor.
  • Internal dynamics of reporting between the quality assurance and the development teams - the final product/project ownership is with product/project heads, who at times compromise quality due to tight deadlines.

We have been able to help our clients resolve these concerns and would like to share with you how. Diagram 1 shows the typical testing framework model used in our testing projects with three processes and their respective process milestones.

GrapeCity Expertise

GrapeCity has extensive expertise in working with software development houses around the world. Our Quality Assurance experts are trained on the latest methodologies and have comprehensive experience in providing value-added quality assurance services.
This ensures a faster turnaround and faster time-to-market for your products. Security is also not an issue - you need not disclose your source code/design as testing can be done on the release build.

Partnering with GrapeCity will ensure that the internal dynamics of reporting between the quality assurance and the development teams will not come into play. Our QA professionals use optimal techniques such as boundary condition analysis, equivalence partitioning, and error guessing to identify test input data. We also use industry-proven techniques to evaluate test effectiveness and coverage, and create IEEE 829 standard test documents.
