Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Quality Assurance at Infomentum is a dedicated, specialist, ISTQB certified function and our Test Approach follows an industry recognised structured process, tailored to our agile, iterative development approach. As such, our Quality Assurance checks - both functional and non-functional - are built into our automated build/deploy/release processes as part of a continuous integration pipeline, ensuring that all change is subject to the same level of rigour. By doing so, we seek to identify issues early, and provide developers with immediate feedback where their change has introduced a fault, or changed the non-functional characteristics of the application. Performance testing is part of this process. Benchmarks are taken from key application features, and re-executed as part of each automated build cycle, giving early insight where a change might have introduced a performance degradation. Peer code reviews and unit test coverage are other aspects that are enforced by our continuous integration approach, whereby code is subject to automated coding standards conformance checks and rejected above a certain level of tolerance. Our mission is to provide our customers with an independent assessment of product quality and conformance with specified requirements, as well as an appreciation of any associated risks of implementation.
