BRAIN STATION 23 as a leading software company with multiple national and international partners help different types of business to grow by providing them different software solutions. The main goal is to provide its valuable client with reliable and super performant software solutions which will help them to grow their business. The quality and unbreakable behavior of software solutions BRAIN STATION 23 provides is the key which makes the company better than other. To ensure this huge number of talented engineers are working for different projects. When we are talking about the quality of software solutions, QA teams play an important role in the total development life cycle. Let’s dive into more to see how the company ensures quality of its efficient software solutions by its highly motivated QA engineer team and lets look into the total process how do they do it.

Maintains the agility first: The process starts from the beginning of the product development. Which helps to hold the agility and continuous quality full feature development. Which ensures the development faster and reduces the cost. The aim of the testing team is to find bugs and loopholes which might break the feature. Continuous detection of bugs and notifying the development team to fix those issues is the theme of the development agility. That is why the company can provide top-notch software solutions in a minimal time frame.

Identification of the project requirement: The testing starts with identifying the exact project requirement. As the software is going to be used by a real-life user there might be many corner cases which may remain unhandled during development. To ensure the software works in every possible case the test team analyzes the total functional requirement of each feature and generates as many cases that might happen for real life use of that software solution. After that the testing starts functionally and through some automated process.

Involve latest tools with higher proficiency: The team uses the latest testing tools so that they can automate the testing process which reduces the testing time and ensures accurate behavior of specific features. Sometimes some issues arise that can’t be tested automated process in that case manual testing takes the place to ensure the consistency of the software feature.

Involvement of experts: This is the most important part. BRAIN STATION 23 as a company has the most highly experienced quality testing individuals who forms teams to provide a sustainable software solution for their clients. The expert teams are fully dedicated to testing and highly proficient in using different cutting edged tools to test and generate test cases for the software. The teams are very much known about which testing should be done for which scenario and with the help of different testing suits the come up with a quality full, reliable, sustainable and consistent software solution for the client.

These are the higher-level processes which let you know how the company ensures the clients with reliable software solutions. Let’s go through some cases which will tell you the challenges the team faces during the development life cycle and how the testing team solved them and what impact that comes with.

Localization is a key feature but time hungry to test

Challenges

The team worked on a recent challenging mobile application project where users got an amazing opportunity to navigate with 4 different languages for both Android and IOS app. The problem occurred when it came to the testing phase. Team had to test it 16 times before each release. It was very time consuming and sometimes creates challenges with the release date.

Our approach

QA team introduced the automation in regression test and included it into CI/CD pipeline. For multilanguage support project had a single config file which had published function to toggle language, test script automatically detected that and during each build the test runs in browser stack. This aligned the developer with bug immediately so that before the next build they can fix it.

Impact

Tools for Testing

QA team stays in the frontline of the battleground

Challenges

For big projects with multiple front-end and back-end teams it was very often to phase miscommunication and misunderstanding. Sometimes the team focused on more design rather the core focus should be the MVP. This type of gap into the focus list became a burning issue when a team had to maintain a strict deadline. So, there was a necessity of an entity who took the lead to ensure consistency in design and features.

Our approach

Here the QA team came forward as they got engaged with the project from the very beginning. They ensured the design and the business logic and listed the MVP core feature. They stay aligned with product owner and feature requirement which helped them to find any flaws in business logic or conflict in design.

Impact

This helps QA team to make sure a flexible constant requirement to work on so that team can avoid any kind of misunderstanding as developers know clearly what is needed to be done before starting the development.

Tools for Testing

When test adaptivity becomes challenging for versatility of the product

Challenges

The team worked on a software solution which was used by 10 different sister concern companies in 3 countries. Main problem was to maintain the white labels and huge data. Manual testing was near to impossible when common feature wase released for each white label. As this type of software solution has a huge number of stakeholders with both technical and non-technical experts. Before each release the main concern was also to ensure and clarify the test scope among all the stakeholders.

Our approach

To solve this problem the QA team automated the testing procedure with different smoke test suites with cucumber BDD framework and regression test suits. Which helped continuous testing for each feature added and let all the stakeholders know the test scopes.

Impact

This process comes with enormous improvement in maintaining the development and quality test timeline. The company vision is to provide topnotch quality and user experience for their developed software solutions in minimum timeline which are being achieved via this type great initiative and innovative process inclusion by different team.
