SQA Solution is a Bay Area-based Full Service Software Testing company providing outsourcing, consulting, and staffing to Fortune 500 companies, medium enterprises, small bootstrapped or funded startups as well as government organizations. For the last 15 years SQA Solution offers Software Test Automation services to help companies automate their testing process, increase test coverage, be more efficient in software testing, and develop continuous integration with 24-hour testing coverage for smoke tests, basic acceptance, or regression tests.
Why and What to Automate
While everyone understands the benefits of test automation, many times teams are unsure which test cases are the candidates for automation and why they need to be automated. In SQA Solution we develop a process to help companies select specific tests to be automated. Usually this comes down to being able to automate smoke test, basic acceptance test, or regression test. The main selection criteria is to automate the modules of the application that have already been finalized and not dynamically change with every release. Though a release may not have a direct impact on certain modules, it may break underline shared components and impact the functionality of a module. Therefore regression testing is used for new releases, and automated testing will allow to find issues during these releases.
Tools We Use for QA Automation
Throughout the years SQA Solution team has been exposed to different automated testing tools in the market, and while we certainly have our preferences, we are able to accommodate customers with any of the most common technical architectures. (i.e. Java, Ruby, .Net, Python, PHP).
We use tools and automation test frameworks such as Selenium Web Driver, Cucumber, JBehave, JUnit, TestNG, nUnit, Microsoft Visual Test, HP WinRunner, LoadRunner and Quality Center, Test Complete, SOAP UI, Test Link, and many others.
Building Test Framework
A lot of companies lately have been very interested in more of architectural services where our consultants come in and evaluate the product and propose a conceptual automated test framework to be built to ensure test coverage and continuous integration. These testing frameworks are usually extendable and allow any further development to be built on top of the original foundation. Furthermore, they are built with re-usability and scalability as the two most important aspects in developing test automation frameworks.
Continuous Integration
To quickly touch this important aspect, our team will work with software developers and release engineers to ensure that there is a smooth integration with software configuration management and build tools, and that every release can have adequate coverage as well as measurements of quality.
Customer Reporting
We develop our reporting based on each customer’s individual needs. The tester will either send you a daily recap with what was tested and what was found, or it could be once a week in the more detailed report. Our team is very diligent in bringing up any risks related to your desktop app release. We conduct internal UAT when needed and engage other developers and testers who were not involved in the original functional test.
Pricing Model for Desktop Application Testing Services
Our model is time and material. For some projects we may allow fixed cost but this also will be derived from time and material. The price per hour will depend on complexity of the application and different test types that customer chooses to perform on their mobile app.
