Our Testing Methodology

Quality Assurance and Quality Test Plans are prepared at the early phases of a project/product. These plans outline all the activities to be performed to meet the quality objectives from the client's perspective. Generally it is test lead's responsibility to ensure that all quality system procedures/standards applicable to the project/product are followed, and that all the tests and reviews are conducted in a planned manner. Routine audits are carried out at various check-points to evaluate the progress and quality standards. 

During and especially at the end of each project, we measure the overall quality in terms of: 

  • Number of reviews and inspections conducted 
  • Number of errors detected and phase of detection 
  • Number of customer complaints 
  • Number of NCs (Non Conformances) reported during audit 
  • Review Effort 
  • Defect Detection Efficiency 
  • Defect Removal Efficiency
  • In-process defect density
