before
The project was launched in the market without a thorough testing process. As a result, any bugs that emerged were addressed and resolved by the developers afterward.
challenges and solutions
Before our QA engineer joined the project, testing was carried out, and some documentation existed, such as the Environment list, Original Requirements, Testing Checklist and Release Notes. This documentation provided a foundation for our testing activities and helped us understand the project requirements and scope. The primary focus of our team was to check new functionality and perform Regression and Smoke testing.
The QA team comprised two specialists, and the overall team consisted of one Backend developer, two Frontend developers, two QAs (including our new QA specialist), and a Project Manager (PM).
We will share with you some aspects of the work on this project.
