This guide will help you in laying a better
foundation for a solid full-proof QA
strategy.

Software quality is something that any

organization aims for throughout their
development process. Before the product
goes to the production area, it should be
well-versed with all the solutions that an
end-user strives to find.

To make a quality software product, the

testing process needs to be iterated from
time to time. With all the testing practices
followed, the software quality should be
maintained with a more intense approach.
To maintain the product quality at an
excellent level, there has to be an in-depth
understanding of the project’s flow along
with sound testing practices.

Process test cases for a given module without
keeping any room for iterations. In some
cases, it goes smoothly, but when the
adverse consequences occur, it becomes
essential to scale the numbers beforehand.
Quality Assurance Engineers have in-depth
knowledge and understanding of business

according to the end-user perspective.
It is crucial to craft the test cases by

by continuously removing and fixing the
backlogs. Additionally, it improves
coordination with the development team.
2. Improving on Regression
Testing
To optimize the testing cycle, you can
make significant changes in the regression
testing method and get great results. While
getting started with your testing, the first
step is clear identification of the test cases
that are to be performed repeatedly.
Secondly, one must not forget to check on
the stability after adding the new builds.
Thirdly, identifying the affected
functionalities that are affected and
respectively adding the new changes in
the sprint.
At most times, regression tests are
conducted with more attention but then
every time streamlining the process is also
a big step in itself.
