Quality Assurance Strategies
To ensure the delivery of a high-quality platform, we implemented a robust set of quality assurance (QA) strategies throughout the development lifecycle. The following key strategies played a vital role in maintaining performance, security, and usability:
Early Involvement in Development
Our QA team was integrated early in the development process, working alongside developers and product managers from the planning phase. This proactive approach helped us identify potential issues early and ensure a clear understanding of requirements, preventing defects from the outset.
Cross-Platform and Cross-Browser Testing
Ensuring consistency across various devices and browsers was crucial. We used cross-browser testing tools to ensure the platform provided a seamless experience on different devices (mobile, tablet, desktop) and major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Prior to final release, we conducted User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with real users to ensure the platform met their needs and expectations.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing
We set up CI/CD pipelines to automatically run tests with each code commit, ensuring new changes were thoroughly tested before deployment.
Testing Methodology
Requirements Analysis and Planning
- Collaborate with stakeholders to define clear acceptance criteria for all core features.
- Break down features into testable units for systematic validation.
- Validate individual components such as AI-driven document generation, visa petition generation, and community AI agent.
- Ensure compliance with USCIS guidelines for form and document generation.
Integration Testing
- Test seamless integration between AI modules, document storage, community forums, and case management systems.
- Validate workflows involving multiple features, such as eligibility assessment with document recommendation.
End-to-End Testing
- Simulate real-world user scenarios to validate the complete visa application workflow.
- Include scenarios for individual users and attorneys using case management tools.
Cross-Platform and Browser Testing
- Validate the platform’s functionality and responsiveness across devices (mobile, tablet, desktop) and browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
Load Testing
- Ensure the platform handles simultaneous visa petition generation and community interactions.
Security Testing
- Perform vulnerability assessments to safeguard sensitive user data and documents.
- Validate secure cloud storage and compliance with data protection laws.
Regression Testing
- Retest existing functionality after major updates or new feature additions to ensure no unintended impacts.
Bug Tracking and Reporting
- Use a structured bug-reporting process for efficient issue resolution.
- Maintain open communication between QA and development teams to address defects promptly.
- Approve user flow of EB-2 eligibility criteria from attorneys to ensure a seamless process.
