QA On Demand: Why You Need It

Many software development teams face the challenge of insufficient QA on demand. For example, though many companies have in-house QA resources in place, not nearly enough are equipped to tackle QA spikes right before each release cycle. “Borrowing” resources from other in-house departments also come with several drawbacks.

A risk of load spikes is one reason On-Demand QA solutions have become so attractive over the last few years. Companies that require extensive QA  will often team up with professional testing houses during their peak times. Developer/tester duality brings excellent value to the table as the cost is limited to the actual times On-Demand resources are working on your project. No extra hiring, training, or maintaining of resources are necessary.

iBeta’s QA On-Demand Process

The iBeta QA On-Demand model ensures that testing can ramp up or down depending on the needs of development and testing cycles. We dedicate a test team that integrates with your internal resources to help you achieve significant milestones and release dates faster.

  1. Fact-Finding Phone Call: This phone interview ensures that we understand your needs and how we can help you.
  2. Client and iBeta put an NDA in place: Your proprietary information and products are secure with our teams.
  3. Client provides iBeta with documentation and access to the application or site.
  4. iBeta furnishes a Statement of Work (SOW) or Proposal and submits it to the client for review: This outlines everything that we intend to do for you.
  5. Client accepts Proposal/SOW and returns it, signed, to iBeta: We can now officially start working on the project.
  6. iBeta’s designated Project Manager will contact the client to discuss scheduling and to organize a project kick-off call.
  7. Kick-Off call: We will discuss in-depth the project needs and obtain any additional information that we need to get the project started.
  8. Project starts.
  9. Project Manager will be in constant contact with the client throughout the project. The Account Manager is also available to address client concerns.

 

I think we can agree that software testing is an essential step before any release. After all, if you don’t have a proper testing process in place, your product could seriously fail. Discovering issues after a product launch could result in costly redesigns or — gasp! — scrapping of the whole dang thing. This is especially likely when QA testing is insufficient and slated only for the end of development.
