Ensuring Quality is front of mind.

Quality engineers conduct functional testing, test automation, light automation of environment and config, light performance testing and coach other team members on quality and testing aspects. Test management including reporting and defect creation, triage and management are also regular activities conducted. Quality engineering can also include data collection and analysis, for process improvement and optimisation of the testing process.

  • Designing test strategies, test plans, test cases and executing them, reporting results and defects and managing them through the full SDLC, including UAT testing, Pre-production testing as so on.

  • Automating test cases, or API interface contracts to produce rapid results to development teams and stakeholders to ensure early discovery of bugs.

  • As DevOps is the combination of Development and Operations, TestOps is the combination of Testing and Operations. Normally this entails environment scripting, provisioning, containerisation and configuration (among many other activities). It can also cover system administration and dependant and assistive systems configuration such as monitoring, alarms and APM software.

  • Performance testing a solution, including sub areas like stress, soak, load and break testing. Normally this also involves data generation, environment configuration (including cloud scalability (horizontal and vertical) as well as APM configuration. Generally, Quality Engineers are "lightweight" performance testers compared to specialists.

  • In situations where there are no dedicated testers on teams, the quality engineer can coach, influence or educate others to perform basic testing tasks to ensure that foundational quality testing is occurring until professional software testers are available to assist.

  • A quality engineer is an experienced tester in their own right can normally provide all levels of test management from test lead through to head of testing functions in your business.

Our Approach

  • Establishing measurable quality objectives aligned with business goals. PTP works with clients to ensure you are the hero.

  • Implement quality assurance processes early in the development lifecycle to catch defects sooner.

  • Use feedback from testing to make iterative improvements in development and testing processes.

  • Leverage automation to improve efficiency and reduce manual errors.

  • Encourage a company-wide commitment to quality at every stage of development
