Quality Assurance Services

Build products with Quality Assurance that makes them work for everyone, on any device.

Let's talk

The best QA services deliver the same experience for all users, all the time

While we can’t guarantee 100% up-time for your product, we guarantee our testers will give 100% to test and check your product as it’s developed.

On all sides and from all angles, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Quality Assurance solutions work hand in hand with development

Quality Assurance at The App Scout happens in two phases. The first takes place during the development process itself, where testers go over each new feature released by the developers team.

They work hand in hand throughout the development process to bring the best version of your product to life.

Why choose The App Scout for your Quality Assurance needs?

Our QA process is up-to-date

Just as we work with the latest technologies when it comes to development, we make sure our QA process includes the latest tools and processes, so your product receives the best services. Our QA engineers have received their ISTQB certification and are always keeping their skills up-to-date.

An inventory of real devices to test on

The quality of our software testing services are dependent on the variety of devices our team can perform their testing on. That’s why we maintain a varied inventory of real devices to test on, constantly updated with the latest releases.

Manual and automated testing

As a product building company with a focus on quality, we analyse the requirements and start the test plan. We create test cases based on the requirements, execute the test cases and analyse the results, add and track the defects that we find, and then verify if the bugs have been fixed. We test on real devices, from low- to high-end, looking for what is most used on the market. We also use simulators if we want to test on a specific device or OS version. Switching from manual to automated testing depends on the project and its resources, but it ideally happens from the beginning of the project.

Debugging and error correction

We try to break the app and to cover as many test cases as possible, including common or less-than-common behaviours of an end-user of the product. We run the test cases and if an issue is found, we report the bug to the development team. Once the bug is fixed, we re-test it to confirm the fix and only then move on with the test cases.

The types of Quality Assurance we do for products

Manual testing

  • Functional testing

    Functional testing is part of our core activity when it comes to software testing services. It aims to verify the reliability of each feature of the product, making sure they work as they’re supposed to in any way the user may choose to use the product.

  • Smoke testing

    We perform minimal tests to run on each deployed software build. We verify the main functionality of a component or system to determine whether it works properly before planned testing begins.

  • Sanity testing

    We run these tests to ensure that the code changes that were implemented are working as expected, and that bugs from previous builds have been resolved. Another goal is to check that no new defects have been introduced.

  • Integration testing

    Here we test the components of the product that have been integrated properly together and verify that they work as expected.

  • System testing

    We perform system testing on a complete and fully integrated software product. The purpose of a system test is to evaluate the end-to-end system specifications.

  • Regression testing

    We plan this testing to make sure that new code changes don’t have side effects on existing functionalities of a product. This ensures that the old code still works once the latest code changes are released.

Non-functional testing

  • Usability testing

    Not to be confused with the UX research format, the goal here is to understand if the design and the flows are usable for the users, no matter the device or operating system they are using, as long as it’s compatible with the product.

  • Compatibility testing

    In this kind of testing, we check if the software is capable of running on different hardware, operating systems, applications, network environments or mobile devices.

  • Stress testing

    The goal of stress testing is to measure software on its robustness and error handling capabilities under extremely heavy load conditions, and to ensure that the product doesn't crash under crunch situations (in other words, the kind of day when everything goes wrong).

  • Scalability testing

    When we perform scalability testing, we check that the system can handle projected increases and decreases in user traffic, data volume, transaction counts frequency, and other variables of the kind that may come in the form of user requests.

  • Interface testing

    We verify the interaction between two systems or applications that are involved in the main software application. In this type of testing, the interface of the application is checked for its behaviour when other integrated applications are establishing connections or trying to transfer content amongst one another.

  • Performance testing

    We use this type of testing process to check the speed, response time, stability, reliability, scalability, and resource usage of a software application under a particular workload. The main purpose of performance testing is to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks in a software application.

  • Load testing

    We test the performance of a software application under a specific expected load. This determines how the software application behaves while being accessed by multiple users simultaneously and if further performance updates are needed.

Our Quality Assurance process

  • Requirements analysis

    • Review the product specifications
    • Review the wireframes and UI design
    • Refine the initial effort estimation
  • Test Planning

    • Define the objectives of testing
    • Identify testing tools, techniques, and best practices
    • Estimate time and effort for the project
  • Test design

    • Identify test conditions based on product specifications
    • Create and prioritise test cases
    • Identify test data to support the test cases
    • Set up test environments and required tools
  • Test implementation and execution

    • Create test suites and place them within a test execution schedule
    • Execute test cases and log the outcome (pass, fail, blocked, etc.)
    • Compare actual results with the expected ones and report incidents
    • Analyse what the cause is for the encountered incidents
    • Repeat the test activities when the incidents are solved (confirmation tests, regression tests)
  • Reporting the results

    • Report test runs and results
    • Write test summary reports to the project stakeholders
  • Exit criteria and test closure

    • Analyse if more testing is needed
    • Ensure that all incidents are resolved
    • Check that all planned deliverables are signed off
