The success of a product, application or website depends on the quality of it before it arrives at the customers computer. While developers focus on producing a clean product, it is the responsibility of the quality assurance specialist to make sure that the product is usuable, as free from bugs as possible, and has accurate content. Quality Assurance seeks to assure that the end results are in line with the expected ones, and that the project has been correctly implemented. Quality can be defined as meeting the customers expectation, with the ultimate hope that we can exceed those expectations.
Sharon Ideas takes the quality assurance arena to a different level. While some companies have a budget that can accommodate an on-staff Quality Assurance Specialist full time, many others cannot. This is where I come in and develop a Quality Project Plan, define what the Quality Standards are, and how we can obtain these standards . Quality Assurance with Sharon Ideas consists of looking at the software, website, or web application from a front end perspective, using it as an average user would use it, and making sure the content is correct, accurate and well developed. Usability is a strong part of quality assurance, and this is something Sharon Ideas will address and evaluate. Content needs to be consistent, well laid out, grammatically correct and in line with the goals of the website/application.
Quality Assurance is a never ending process of evaluation, development, and re-assessment. In the end, it leads to happier customers, less hot fixes, missed bugs and last minute changes, and develops a better flow from development to the customers doorstep.
