About our Client
Business Situation
The US firm set out to achieve its primary goal –testing of its internet/web based, workflow-driven content management software through which enterprises could easily perform web content management operations. Although multiple software service providers proposed solutions, Our Software QA testing team’s excellent QA testing solution(s) and strategy stood out, fulfilling the core requirement of Manual Testing in a SaaS-based implementation, and providing a definitive roadmap to deliver various Bug Free product versions.
Our Solution & Customer Benefits
With the client’s intent keeping in mind, Mindfire re-validated all the Wireframes and designed a set of business rules and added the change request in the architecture of the product which opened the gates to update the existing testcases to be more functional than the testcases which the client initially had. Mindfire’s QA team regularly monitored the test cases to track the changes in the functionality of the application and then simultaneously changed it in the test cases as well. Test cases were put on VSS server so that any person involved in the project can easily check-out and check-in the updated testcase at any point of time. QA team also added all fixed issues as part of the test cases which enhanced the test script in uncovering more scenarios. Some important issues were also uncovered when the testers performed functionality/ bug regression/installation and compatibility testing.
