QA & Testing  Process

We believe that without integrating quality processes with the development processes, no software worth use can be written. Any software is only as good as the people who wrote and the processes they followed during development. Our project managers are trained on various QoS processes such as ISO 9000, and SEI CMM and have managed large software engineering teams for Fortune 500 corporations in the USA.

Highlights of Our Quality Management System

• Our software development processes are designed to meet our client's diverse requirements such as mission critical applications or products that cannot tolerate any downtime whatsoever.
• Our software development processes define a mandatory set of policy documents, procedures, guidelines, checklists, process lifecycle models, tools, information on projects, tips and lessons, best practices, training materials, project metrics and other assets of reusable value derived from ISO 9001: 2000, Software CMM Level 5 processes. This enables us to provide cost effective software to our customers.
• We utilize IEEE standards and guidelines for software life cycle management.
• Our quality processes are supported by many engineering tools and a workflow based integrated system that can be accessed from the intranet by all the members of the organization. This has helped us deploy knowledge management across distributed teams to compress development time frames.
• We follow stringent quality assurance and quality control procedures and have got a comprehensive system of internal audits to ensure high performance software to our customers.
• A participatory approach in process improvements, cross-functional teams to work on specific process improvement projects, rewards and recognition schemes are other highlights of our quality culture.
• We make use of dedicated quality teams and groups. We separate our engineering teams from our quality assurance teams to avoid any conflict of interests. We continue to refine our processes, and our quality teams which provide process training to all our employees. This ensure delivery of highest quality software to our customers.

Rapidsoft Systems offers Product Verification and Validation (PVV) services that provide independent, critical and objective evaluation of the quality and performance of a product designed by our customers. Our PVV services include the following services:

1. Functional testing :Involves testing the product for its conformance to the intended features, functionality and usability
2. Load testing : Involves testing the product for proper performance in high load and stress conditions
3. Technology testing : Involves testing the product for its effective functioning in identified platform, tools and technology environments
4. Interoperability and conformance testing : We test product for standards compliance or interworking with other products.
5. Regression testing : For increased reliability and product quality.
6. Development testing : We can also partner with you at any stage and for any part of your QA requirements.

We can provide integration tests (integration of several software modules provided by the customer), entire system tests and testing under a simulated environment (during prototyping phase or when the target hardware is under development). Our extensive experience in building communication and networking products for networking and telecommunication carriers is available to you. Our expertise in managing communication software project and product development provides us with a distinct insight into reliability, maintainability, and usability issues.

  Key aspects of our PVV services include:

1. Selection of the most appropriate testing strategy
2. Strong management of the testing process
3. Appropriate use of tools and automation to support the testing process.
