The company is continuously growing and enhancing the software to comply with market requirements and enlarge the list of provided services.

Willing to deliver the top-notch software products and smoothly introduce updates to the applications, the client pitched on a1qa to assure the quality of all upcoming solutions.

Initially, a1qa was tasked to perform the testing of the client’s web portal and mobile applications. After the a1qa team showed their competence in the domain field and provided high-level results, the client entrusted the company with the quality assurance of all updates throughout the project be it a new feature of the application or the redesigning of the whole software product.

The process of testing included the following stages.

• Requirements testing

Before developing any new feature, the a1qa engineers started with careful requirements testing to ensure there were no inconsistencies and avoid duplicated work.

• Test documentation creation

After a thorough exploration of the new functionality, the a1qa team created test documentation to make sure every use case was tested properly.
