QAIT’s DevSyncQA™ (Development Synchronization) is one of the proprietary services which helps us coordinate software test activities in alignment with the development group from the very beginning which ensures a smooth test cycle. We begin the testing process by developing a comprehensive plan to test the general functionality and special features on a variety of platform combinations.
In DevSync QA™ we have testers as a part of the development team. They work closely with customers to define acceptance tests for each build, test each build as it completes and practice pair testing, giving continuous feedback to the team. DevSync QA™ emphasizes more on individual interactions rather than processes and tools.
