Challenge
The client reached out to us with a request to provide a dedicated team for quality assurance and testing of their new mobile application. The client is a US-based company, one of the world’s biggest online retailers with over 30k natural supplements and personal care products they ship to millions of customers in more than 150 countries. The numbers keep growing on a daily basis, so the client wanted their new mobile application to be able to effectively handle the company’s rapid growth.
Since the app is planned for release on web, iOS, and Android, our team had to make sure the new version provides flawless functionality and an aesthetically pleasing, enjoyable experience across all target platforms, languages, as well as shipping and payment methods.
Solution
TestFort provided the company with a dedicated QA and testing team experienced in e-commerce solutions. The team synergized with in-house devs in no time using Jira as a bug tracking solution and started on the tasks. The team carried out requirements analysis, test design, test execution, and prepared defect reports.
Our engineers conducted seven different types of testing, including functional, regression, and usability testing, to find and eliminate the issues and inconsistencies in the app’s back end and front end. We applied Dr. James Whittaker’s Exploratory Testing Tours technique which helped us locate and fix some critical bugs during exploratory testing. We also performed cross-platform and cross-browser testing to check for inconsistencies and used Charles Proxy as a proxy server for web debugging.
