BETTERQA

We are BetterQA, a “software testing only” company founded in 2018 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, a vibrant IT community nicknamed the Silicone Valley of Eastern Europe. We are now around 50 employees, most of us from Cluj-Napoca, as well as a few colleagues from Hungary. Our vision is to help companies improve the quality of software delivered worldwide. More than 40% of the software development efforts are spent on testing. By focusing on a niche like software testing, we hope to make our mark ... in the IT industry. We want to achieve this by using a combination of onsite consulting, offshore test execution, tools and frameworks that will reduce the number of post-release defects. WHAT WE DO • Mobile Application • Web Testing • UI/API Testing • Performance Testing • System Testing • Functional Testing • Regression Testing • Non-functional Testing The key to business optimisation & process management lies in a structured approach to the initiative. To this end, organizations should consider five major organizing principles: 1. STRATEGY & PLANNING 2. DEVELOPING GOVERNANCE 3. DRIVING CHANGE MANAGEMENT 4. EXECUTION 5. MEASUREMENT The Quality of solutions is directly proportional to the Quality of the process being executed. The better the process is managed and implemented, the better the predicted output. Next, we will focus on the key elements of Quality Assurance and a step-by-step approach to leverage its benefits. THE CHALLENGES Do you want to? • Overcome the unrestrained scope creep? • Operate with a consistent and focused testing approach? • Have a predictable testing duration and cost? • Complete the operations within budget? • Reduce the time and money spent on resolving production defects? • Have a quantitative approach for identifying release criteria? • Have an independent testing practice for your organization? HOW WE WILL HELP YOU OVERCOME THESE AN INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT CAN HELP YOU IN DIVERSE WAYS! Firstly, It helps institute a streamlined focus on reducing costs while increasing speed to market and improving overall quality. A well-planned approach at reducing redundancies ensures each function operates with minimal overlap of efforts. Secondly, Independent assessments help identify defects earlier in the product’s life cycle for better quality and satisfied end-users. HOW ARE WE GOING TO INTEGRATE INTO YOUR TEAM? 1. Once the feature spec has been written out, we review it to address and find problems before it gets implemented; the most cost-effective bugs are the ones found in documentation. 2. Writing automated or manual test cases for the spec while the development team is writing the code. 3. Executing the test plan against the newly implemented feature; 4. Bugs will be found – then we need to decide which ones should get fixed and which ones should get deferred. 5. Once the bugs get fixed, we'll do another test plan execution and to see if other areas of the product have been affected or not by the new changes; 6. When there are no more bugs to be fixed in the current sprint related to this feature, close out the story ticket and call it as accepted. A common misperception of testing is that it only consists of running tests. The test process also includes test planning, analyzing, designing, and implementing tests, reporting test progress and results, and evaluating a test object’s quality. THESE ARE THE METRICS WE USE IN SOFTWARE TESTING: • Cost of testing; • Percentage of planned work done in test case preparation; • Defect information; • Percentage of planned work done in test environment preparation; • Test case execution; • Test coverage of requirements; • Task completion, resource allocation and usage, and effort. ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH US LESS MANAGEMENT WORK No more hassle hiring and training testers. This assures discipline within the development team. People are always more careful when they know somebody will review their work. IMPARTIALITY AND QUALITY GOALS We align our quality goals with the customers. The SLA’s are decided between us. You get a fair assessment of the quality of code. The metrics, data, and reports are relevant, honest, and unbiased. QA TESTERS AND DEVELOPERS WORK BEST TOGETHER Good testers have a broader knowledge of the application’s regression history than a developer. They are familiar with all the nuances of the system and are proficient at testing. They are confident, self-assured, and have the ability to think creatively. ALL THE SKILLS YOU NEED UNDER ONE ROOF You can rely entirely on one provider to take care of all your QA needs. This is more likely to happen with an independent, specialized QA firm than with a software development firm. WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF TRIAL AND ERROR Failing to find a bug the first time only means that they need to execute the extra creativity tests. Our testers believe in defects and don’t accept that bugs are fixed unless they have proof. Pure code-based testing fails because it lacks the human factor. QA testers enhance the success of tests by providing a human element to anticipate that. Our vision is to help companies improve the quality of software being delivered while lowering the project’s risk. • Nearshore software testing services • Mobile, Web, Desktop, API, embedded, IoT testing • Test design, planning, implementation, analysis, execution, estimation, strategy • Test monitoring and control • Risk identification and management in the lifecycle of the projects • Risk-based testing • Test improvement processes • Cross-functional defect management • Functional, non-functional, regression, performance / load, localisation testing Top USP’s QUALITY • At BetterQA, everything we do, we do with a deep passion for outstanding quality. • We relentlessly seek the improvement of our customers’ products, helping them achieve the best-in class user experience and top product quality. • When it comes to quality, we make no compromise and our target is always “zero defects”. PASSION • Software testing services companies come in all shapes and sizes, but there’s one thing that can set you apart: passion. • At BetterQA, we’re a software testing company founded by a former software testing engineer. • We know how hard it is to deliver high-quality products when you’re working with an outsourced team of testers; we’ve been there before. • That’s why we decided to start our own company—to provide valuable and independent services without having the risk for the development manager to shove bugs under the rug prior to a release of the product. • We love what we do, and we strive for perfection every day.More
