DevConf.US 2022

After I was hired by my company, they assigned me to a project. Soon after I was introduced to the project, I quickly realized that there are a few -maybe lots of :)- improvement rooms. I will share my story which ended up in a successfully built quality.

With correct steps, we can see how quickly a quality process can be developed. But what is a quality process and how can we ensure quality? Does quality assurance equal to running tests? As you can guess, the answer is no. So we will talk about the components of quality assurance.

By means of the initiatives I have introduced, we experienced not only the quality of the product, but also the efficiency of the agile ceremonies and visibility of information. Since efficient communication is a key player of quality assurance just like everything else, we will talk about conducting daily meetings in the best way.

Initially:
No track of bugs
No feedback cycle on tests
No transparency of the progress
No organized feature
No metrics, no idea about coverage
Escaped bugs
Massive manual effort

Solutions:
Bugs Management initiative
Test Review initiative
Short and very understandable progress reports
Feature Housekeeping initiative
Monitoring, Traceability
Pulling QA in Early Stages
Automation: Common Locators, Parallel Running, Reporting Dashboard

Takeaways
Attendees will be able to see:
Ways to collect insights from bugs
An approach in which feedback to designed tests from the product owners is encouraged
An lovely animated progress report
How we can increase visibility of features
Track various metrics to maintain a continuous improvement
How we achieved to shift left
Test framework in which tests are executable on various browsers, platforms and apps.
