At CCS, quality is our highest priority. From our working environment, to our client's experience with every project to the final software delivered, our endeavor is to provide quality. The primary objective of CCS's QA system is to embed quality into all our processes. Our QA processes are proactive in nature - aimed at identifying problems during software development, rather than identifying them during the verification process and then having to correct them.

We ensure at all points in the process, that the client has visibility into where his project stands - whether requirements have been tested and satisfied, tests have been executed, or defects have been found and resolved.

CCS QA methodology:

The QA methodology begins with the requirements gathering phase . This process is carefully managed by a Project Manager and also includes a Business Analyst working closely with the client. Herein, our testing team carefully and thoroughly documents all project requirements, identifying potential risk areas and possible contingency plans.

Once project requirements are finalized, we perform systems analysis and create detailed specifications. The QA team maps the requirements document to the specifications, thereby ensuring that all functionality is addressed and that the software we have specified is exactly what the client desires.

This is followed by detailed test plans - including use cases and user scenarios, they are created and reviewed by our team as well as by the client. Stringent quality checks are performed by preparing checklists at various phases of the Development Life Cycle.

We provide detailed reports as a result of our testing, ensuring all problems and issues are corrected and verified immediately.

QA Tasks and Activities: We conduct Walkthroughs, Inspections and Reviews as part of CCS's QA tasks and activities.

Testing Approaches: All testing is done from the point of view of the user. It is aimed at finding and correcting bugs such as incorrect functions, interface problems, and database errors. As a standard practice, we use the black box testing approach.

QA TOOLS: The QA tools used by CCS help developers in identifying errors and anomalies during the different phases of the software design life. They include:
