Generating thoroughly tested, bug-free code can be costly, time-consuming, and challenging. But it doesn't have to be. For nearly 24 years, we have been singularly focused on providing offshore and nearshore QA integration testing that consistently exceeds our customers’ expectations, generating the highest customer satisfaction scores in the industry.
How?
By concentrating on solving our customers' biggest outsourcing challenges:
With integration testing, we logically group different modules of a software application and then test them together.
With EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) testing, we test multiple systems connected through an enterprise service bus (ESB). Our integration testing identifies whether the connectivity between systems is working correctly or not. It can also involve the testing of APIs through which systems are integrated.
When testing, it is not always necessary that all systems are available all the time. Our team will verify and test features in pieces based on the readiness of different systems/APIs (Experience API, Process API, System API) involved in an end-to-end flow.
In our integration testing, we mainly focus on end-to-end workflow, communications between systems, breakages, and ensuring that each service, ESB, etc. is responding correctly.
Our proven approach combines extensive training, dedicated teams, and optimized communication protocols to quickly onboard new clients, deeply integrate with their development engineering teams, and maximize their output, quality, and speed.
To achieve this high level of quality and output, we make substantial investments in our staff, including rigorous onboarding processes, ongoing learning programs, work-life balance policies, and dedicated engineers for each client. The result is QASource’s industry-leading staff retention rates which reduce project disruption, retain legacy knowledge, and maximize productivity.
When we place a new engineer or team of engineers with a client, our teams are fully prepared to get to work on our clients’ projects with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to start making an impact immediately. And that team stays with the client for the duration of the contract, whether that be 8 months or 8 years.
“They have a lot of young talent. Well-trained talent. And they stay there for a long time, which is one of my key requirements as I want a team where I don’t need to replace staff every couple of months.” - CTOOur onboarding and training programs are second-to-none in the offshoring industry and based on the real-world experience servicing customers across all industries over the last 24 years. We are in the business of delivering quality engineering; that extends to our own internal processes which are constantly being updated as our clients’ businesses evolve.
“Anytime we have a new member that joins the team, I have complete confidence that the QASource team lead is going to be able to onboard them and get them up and running very quickly.” - Director of Quality AssuranceMost of our clients utilize us as quality engineering subject matter experts. We don’t just wait to be told what to do. We get deeply involved in understanding our client’s needs and proactively addressing them.
“It's not just us handing over tasks and then getting it done, they're actually reaching out and asking questions and bringing up ideas and ways for us to improve those tools and things that we find very valuable. This level of collaboration is unlike anything we have experienced with other QA vendors.” - CEOWe work very hard to make our services as seamless as possible. We know how critical it is for development and quality engineers to work hand-in-hand and so we have honed inter-company communication protocols to a science. Clients constantly tell us that they don’t see us as an offshore resource but as a fully integrated extension of their own internal development teams.
This level of inter-company integration has significant real-world benefits. Deep trust is built between the teams. Communication overhead is reduced. Productivity is gained. Quality improves. Development cycles are sped up.
“QASource is bringing in not just technical talent, but also management and proper delivery of their work. As we go forward, outsourcing companies need to understand that technical skills are table stakes, but more mature organizations are going to look for an organizational kind of impact from the vendor also, and that makes sense.” - Director of EngineeringIntegration testing ensures that all your components work together seamlessly within your app before deployment. And when paired with continuous integration, your software product is destined to win the championship.
If you could create a safety net to protect your product’s user experience, would you? Is it even possible to prevent the possibility of consumers discovering bugs and defects after deployment, all while maintaining speed to market?
API integration testing is the future. The digital world is really just an expanse of application interactions and communication. If your product cannot participate correctly and efficiently in the worldwide give and take of automated endpoint dialogue, it will break. Let’s do a deep dive to understand the basics of API integration.
