New quality assurance & testing standard now available

There is nothing quite so anxiety producing as learning about software bugs from users, the very people at the center of the design. Aargh!!! Software that does not function properly lowers productivity, taints the user experience, and costs money.

Ease your mind and delight your users! Incorporate Quality Assurance (QA) into the software development and maintenance processes to ensure alignment to business goals, fulfillment of design specifications, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Great news! ITS recently approved the Quality Assurance and Testing Standard to help teams develop more consistent and robust test plans and strategies beginning early in the Software Development Lifecyle (SDLC). The standard provides an overview of the QA testing planning, design, execution, and reporting process through each stage of the lifecycle. It covers QA tools and provides links to templates that streamline planning and documentation.

Look at the standard to learn what it has to offer to you. Do not hesitate to reach out to the Quality Assurance & Testing Service in IT Shared Services. The team is ready to support your QA needs whether supporting your own testing efforts or providing robust QA services to meet your needs.
