Manual testing can cover more than any other QA type. Starting with Olympiqa’s manual testing services is the best option for your software. Then, we can adjust, scale up, or automate the testing activities upon your needs.
Manual testing is a bunch of QA services conducted fully manually by QA engineers without any automated approaches. This isn’t meaning that they are armed with their bare hands only. Today’s tools like Browserstack, devtool, Postman, etc., help make this job much faster and more accurate.
Most often, manual testing is enough to find critical bugs and then fix them. As a result, manual QA testing services are the most common for each QA project to start.
Manual testing services are the best suited for
QA engineers can start testing your software immediately after the deal is sealed. In theory, it could happen even today
QA engineers who test your software manually, delve deep into its features and understand them well enough
You can cover with the tests all those scenarios where your users will be and nothing except it
You can start right from the very minimum of testing coverage, and then scale it up if needed
You’ll receive the first reports shortly after the work begins
Once the live QA engineers are testing your software, they will definitely find any issues affecting the user experience
Manual QA testing services have much higher efficiency rates than automated tests
During the years of our history, the QAttica engineering team has polished our own working approach. This approach has proven its efficiency many times, which makes it possible to say “We know how to test your software successfully!” Below you can learn more about the process we offer.
Using our approach, we start testing right from the requirements analysis, and firstly improve the quality of requirements. This helps make requirements clearer for the development team, whose job becomes more focused and efficient. As a result, developers do drastically fewer unnecessary actions, only focusing on the tasks that are well-detailed and important.
Our processes are ready for being adjusted in accordance with your own processes and software tools.
All our engineers work in-state and know each other. That’s why our team is always working highly efficiently and free of communication issues. This is also a reason for the rather short onboarding period — 7 days or less.
You can choose which data we should cover in our testing reports.
We are deadly sure that successful collaboration between the software testing company and their clients is possible only if both parties are benefited. That’s why we have such a high client retention rate.
We’ll make a free initial pre-test of your software and offer you a report, covering both overall quality level and possible growth points
We research your software requirements specification and find flaws just before the start of development. Benefit: saving your budget by finding errors and eliminating them as early as it is possible
Our QA engineers thoroughly research all the features of your software and make sure that all these features are working as expected. Benefit: ensuring your software is operable within the requirements
Our QA team checks the time of installation of your application and whether it is stable or not at a certain load, as well as finds peak load value. Benefit: ensuring your app works stably under a required level of load *convertible to autotests
Our testing experts research your application for possible data breaches and unauthorized access. Benefit: ensuring your software is secure helps you avoid huge reputational risks and valuable corporate data loss
This service helps our QA engineers go beyond the requirements and find how the app is acting in non-trivial circumstances. Benefit: ensuring your application is well-polished and flawless
Once the software is ready to release, it’s time for the final bunch of tests. They are aimed at the final checking before the release. Benefit: acts as a statement of readiness of your software
For international software products and services, it is crucial that each user in different regions must have a similar user experience. Our engineers check all the sensitive aspects and find inequalities. Benefit: your software is able to go globally with no fear
For each new release, you must carefully check, whether your new features are compatible with the old ones. Benefit: ensuring your application keep working smoothly after new releases *convertible to autotests
We are very human-centric. This means you can easily speak with our engineers to be sure they’re professionals in their crafts. Book a call and we’ll dispel all your doubts about your testing needs and desires.
Testing of web applications is traditionally the most demanded field of QA. There are a lot of factors that must be considered for successful web testing. We implement different popular approaches on how to test websites, applications, and complex web-based software systems. Skilled with the most popular web CMSs and frameworks like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Symphony, Laravel, etc., our engineers offer an effective start, smooth scaling, and impressive results soon after the launch of collaboration.
On one side, there are many different resolutions, displays, and browsers on various mobile devices. On the other, there are strict rules and guidelines that iOS and Android raise. Keeping all these in mind, our QA experts know for sure how to meet the rules and how to find where your app violates them.
We bet a proper process is a key to success in software testing activities. Within our work, we’ve developed and polished the next approach to the manual testing operations:
This is the initial yet one of the most important stages within the software testing process. At this stage, our QA team is researching the requirements documentation for understanding the scope better. This stage is a basis for the test case development. It helps assure that both parties are on the same page, as well as validate the completeness, unambiguity, and feasibility of the requirements.
The planning stage is crucial for each non-chaotical process, including QA, of course. During this stage, the main goal of our engineers is to create and verify the test cases, and then rework them once the overall plan is ready. There is also all the else test data preparation, which is including test conditions, required resources, priority, etc. This stage helps make all the tests properly and within the requirements, cover all the required test cases, and work with the highest possible efficiency.
This stage is a process of executing previously planned tests and comparison of the actual results given with the expected ones. If the actual result differs from the expected, the case is coming to the next stage as a bug. Upon the results of the execution, you can decide whether your software is ready for release or not, as well as estimate the readiness level.
Once the tests are finished as planned, it’s time to prepare reports based on the results of the testing. A bug report is a detailed document containing the next data: bug description; conditions of its arrival; steps to reproduce and screenshot (video); the date when the test was made; the name of a tester who detected the bug and the developer who fixed it. Actually, the report may contain any other piece of data which is crucial for the given case.
The test cycle closure phase is about making sure that every single bug mentioned in the report was successfully fixed. That’s why the last step in the software testing process is running all the previously planned test cases one more time. The ideal outcome is 100% success.
Manual tests are executed manually by QA engineers, and automated tests are executed by scripts and software tools. Manual testing is the beginning of everything we call QA. Once automated testing is more efficient thanks to automated repeating scenarios, it is always impossible to cover 100% of the required scope with autotests. Moreover, you cannot automate what wasn’t properly checked manually, right?
You can start with our manual services literally from zero. But the most convenient threshold for us is $1,000+ per 2-week sprint.
We have a proven approach to testing with projects of different complexity. You can start risk-free right now with no obligation and then, after a pre-test, decide to expand the collaboration or skip it.
