Shorter Time to Market Or Reduced Software Development Costs?
Finally, You Can Have Both.

Are You Still Doing Software Development The Old Fashioned Way?

Under the traditional software development model the only ways to reduce the time to market are by reducing either the time it takes to test the product or the scope of the test.  Any hope of reducing the test time requires the addition of more resources.  By reducing the scope of the test you may be able to shorten the development cycle but product quality and the resulting customer satisfaction will be impacted.

What many companies are doing to reduce the cost of QA is adding lower cost resources to the mix. This clearly is not the solution we are looking for.  If you add more resources, regardless of the incremental cost, the total costs will rise. qaSignature uses computers, not more people to produce results. Isn't that what automation is meant to achieve?

Development - Testing Cycle: Traditional Approach

Development - Testing Cylce

What Path Do You Want To Take?

  1. Continue spending more and more funds, time and resources on testing each subsequent release in order to maintain the quality of the product at an acceptable level.
  2. Freeze the cost of testing (and defect fixing) of each release, and as a result - tolerate a drastic deterioration of the product’s quality.
  3. Implement a solution that will allow you to simultaneously:
    4.
    • Increase the productivity of the whole Development Organization (Development and QA)
    • Improve the quality of the application
    • Reduce the level of spending on testing and defect fixing

Number 3 is really the only alternative if you are to remain competitive.

Finally, A Methodology Proven To Reduce Both, Time To Market And Development Costs.

The solution is to continually reduce the build schedule until you can develop and test builds daily.  This is easier said than done.  This cannot be accomplished with a traditional development process.  This is where qaSignature comes in. The qaSignature Quality Assurance Methodology supports the daily build model below. (The square boxes represent testing and the stars refer to builds.)

Development / Testing Cycle: qaSignature Model

Development / Testing Cycle

Shrinking the QA cycle supports increasing the frequency of product builds. This can lead to software development productivity increases of 600% or more.

The results:

  • It will take a fraction of the original time to test a new build
  • You will know the quality of the build within hours
  • Functionality will be tested while you sleep with the results posted in the morning
  • Development won't have to wait for results
  • Development will be able to fix defects faster
  • Defects will be caught earlier in the development cycle, greatly reducing the cost of development
  • Much more testing can be done in less time resulting in quantum leaps in quality

The Number One Problem You’ll Have With Automating QA Testing…
And How qaSignature Has Solved The Problem.

Over 80% of QA Automation Fails The Test Of Maintainability.

The objectives of QA automation are to speed up time to market and reduce the overall cost of development. But most projects fail to achieve the expected results.  

3 Questions You Need To Ask:

  1. Does Your QA Team Get Bogged Down When It Comes To Modifying or Adding New Functionality To Your Application?
  2. Is the Cost Of Maintaining Your Automation Escalating?
  3. Is Maintenance Keeping You From Doing Daily Builds/Testing of Your Applications?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we can help.

Only One Service Company Will Build QA Automation For A Fixed Price And Maintain It For Free.

That company is qaSignature.  We have a proven methodology that allows us to build automation for a fixed price. This same methodology supports daily maintenance of the automation up to 200 times faster than traditional methods.  As a result, we will maintain the automation for free for the first year. 

Service Focus

  • Installation – Provides automation of install process
  • Smoke Test – Provides a product navigation analysis
  • Functionality Regression Test – Start with “critical path” to application and expand test coverage by plugging more scripts into existing test suite. This includes comprehensive functional and navigational regression suite with certain back-end testing and dynamic UI analysis
  • Coverage Analysis– Provides the percentage of product functionality currently being tested
  • Resource Monitoring – Provides information on possible system problems to include memory leaks, race conditions, performance and overall stability that may show up in a system during a long regression test.
  • Lean Software Development – Guidance in reducing development cycle time

How Can You Produce A Higher Quality Product Faster and For Less Money?
