BayTech Services Test Methodology

BayTechServices follows a Eight Step Methodology for QA projects. This has evolved from the best practices observed in a wide variety of successful testing projects. The methodology minimizes project risk and enables us to streamline testing delivery to achieve customer satisfaction.

Step 1 - Quality Requirements

This is the first step, where we identify the QA requirements and goals, customer expectations, project scope & commitments and the overall project framework.

Step 2 - Delivery Model

Based on the feasibility of testing efforts and requirements we pick the delivery model that works best for you.

Step 3 - Knowledge Transfer

Here our domain experts/business analysts will ensure that the critical activity of knowledge transfer-both domain-specific as well as project-specific knowledge- happens smoothly and with the least possible effort.

Step 4 - Test Preparation

This step runs in parallel to the software development activity and the team works on producing the test strategy, test cases, trace-ability, test scripts, test data guidelines and Run Plans. Parallel preparation helps improve delivery time.

Step 5 - Test Execution

Here the actual execution of testing happens based on the test start and completion criteria. Experienced teams of test engineers facilitate flawless and timely completion.

Step 6 - Defect Management

This step involves defect management and tracking defects systematically to closure. Test logs, defect summaries, status reports and defect analyses are also produced.

Step 7 - Test Automation

Selecting and deploying appropriate tools for automating regression testing and performance testing is what this step is all about. Test execution productivity is considerably enhanced by automatic tools.

Step 8 - Test Maintenance

This step implements a process and a stable framework for handling on-going release testing requirements on a long-term basis.
