What is quality assurance (QA) and why is it important?

People tend to think of quality as an advantage - an added value. But, in fact, it’s a basic requirement, especially in software. If expected quality standards are not met, the product won’t be used at all. However, the higher the quality, the more it will be, and the greater its value and profitability. 

Quality assurance ensures software quality throughout the entire development lifecycle. QA implementation optimizes not just the quality of the product, but also the processes that create, enhance and deliver it. With the help of our Salesforce Testing Services, you can make sure your software meets user and market standards, and your development cycles are as smooth, fast and effective as possible.

FAQ

Salesforce QA testing is the process of validating Salesforce solutions, custom apps, and configurations to ensure they meet quality standards. It involves testing and analysis of functionalities, data integrity, and user experience to identify and resolve issues. Salesforce QA testing ensures reliability, performance, and user satisfaction, enhancing the overall effectiveness of Salesforce implementations and applications.

QA testing is essential to ensure reliability, functionality and user satisfaction for Salesforce apps and solutions. It ensures that customizations, configurations, and integrations meet specific requirements, preventing errors and ensuring smooth operations. By identifying issues early, QA testing enhances productivity, data accuracy, and user adoption, maximizing the ROI on Salesforce investments and delivering competitive advantages.

We offer manual QA as well as QA automation. Types of testing include functional testing (verifying that the software functions as expected and meets the specified requirements; non-functional testing (evaluating performance characteristics of a software system rather than its specific functionalities); and platform-based testing (specifically focusing on a particular platform, e.g., Salesforce Customer 360, or technology stack).

Practices we use to ensure data security include data masking and anonymization; role-based access control (RBAC), test data management (TDM), data encryption both in transit and at rest; regular security testing including vulnerability assessments; and providing training on data security’s importance and best practices to developers, testers and other stakeholders.

Automated testing can accelerate testing processes, reducing time-to-market for Salesforce solutions and updates. It can also enhance test coverage, ensuring thorough validation of functionalities and configurations. It improves accuracy and repeatability, minimizing human error and inconsistencies. Additionally, automated testing enables efficient regression testing, ensuring stability after changes. Ultimately, automated testing has the power to optimize resource utilization, freeing up manual testers for higher-value tasks, and boosts overall productivity and quality in Salesforce implementations.

We handle Salesforce customizations with care, thoroughly understanding client requirements and leveraging Salesforce's native customization features to tailor solutions effectively.

Our approach to regression testing involves building comprehensive test suites covering critical functionalities, prioritizing test cases based on impact, and ensuring thorough manual testing to maintain quality standards.

We readily provide detailed documentation for test cases upon request. These detail test objectives, steps and expected results, and report actual outcomes. This documentation promotes transparency, simplifies future testing endeavors, and facilitates knowledge transfer within the team.

We collaborate closely with development teams by participating in sprint planning, conducting regular sync meetings, sharing test scenarios and results, and utilizing collaboration tools like Jira for tracking tasks and issues. This fosters effective communication and ensures alignment towards quality goals.
