How does Quality Assessment support your software process?

Being a part of your team, QA engineers should be involved in the product development process - right from the very beginning. They will identify risks, collect and adjust requirements by analyzing customers’ briefs. In a perfect world example, a QA Engineer contributes a crucial part in the entire Software Development Life Cycle. An SDLC testing cycle is a frequency within which QA Engineers conduct five test stages – that is, each sprint.

Diligent testing of features

Diligent testing of features and fixes is the step where the QA Engineer goes through written test scenarios, performs regression testing (verifying if existing modules are not affected by the new feature) and system integration testing (finding out if the new feature interacts with existing modules as expected). The last part is to conduct exploratory testing meaning testing with no plan, based mostly on experience and intuition.

Automating the tests in Cypress

The QA Engineer uses the test scenarios written before. If the repository of automated tests is regularly extended and maintained, the time needed for regression testing is significantly shortened as it only comes down to running automated tests in Cypress and verifying the results.

Determine QA approach

The first step for the QA Engineer is to determine the approach. During this step, QA Engineers gather specifications of the project and decides which further points of the plan will be done depending on the project needs and budget. This also means verifying, on the regular basis, if the approach meets the current needs.

Verify bussiness requirements

Next, the QA Engineers verifies business requirements and makes sure that none of the features excludes the other ones. The specialist needs to specify all the details needed, clarify any ambiguities and point out potentially vulnerable areas.

Writing test scenarios in Gherkin

Then comes the time for test scenarios in Gherkin - meaning turning acceptance criteria into test cases and planning critical paths to test. The written scenarios will serve as a documentation of functionalities, as well as a basis for future automated tests.
