Quality Assurance
Think about the Quality Assurance (QA) process as you would the process of film making. First, it is necessary to write or obtain a film script. Next, comes the preparation for and actual filming of that script. Last, all of the material that has been created must be edited. Quality Assurance testing is similar to the final phase of film-making. It’s where everything that has been developed is sorted, edited, tested and improved as necessary. It’s the final step to make sure that your product or “movie” makes sense, hits your targeted goals and functions smoothly and efficiently. It’s the difference between creating a blockbuster movie or a straight to video flop.

The QA process is the testing process that enables software validation and verification, a diagnostic, used to ensure accurate and problem-free implementation (based on customer requirements). In other words, it is a process that assures that "the right things" are implemented (according to customer requirements) and that they are implemented in the right way ("bug free").
QA is an independent verification and validation process, separate from development and unit testing. We apply our QA services as part of the end to end Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), or we offer QA consulting on an pre-existing system.
We provide a full range of QA:
- Functional Testing
- System Integration Testing
- Security and Penetration Testing
- Performance Testing
- Acceptance Testing

QA as a two-fold process: (i) to ensure that business needs are met - test scenarios according to business requirements and (ii) to ensure that the implemented Information System (IS) works appropriately
-
QA beginning in the early steps of SDLC; to help better meet the requirement specification (RS) and detect any flaws early on
