Quality Assurance
At VDS we strongly believe that for a project to be successful, Quality Assurance plays a vital role. Only through a strong QA team, a robust product can be delivered.
One of the core ideas of the Agile methodology is to involve testers in product development from the very beginning. With quality assurance teams participating in every stage of development, we believe that we can make sure every new feature operates smoothly. According to an industry report, it’s up to 30 times cheaper to detect and fix bugs at the design and architecture stage than it is to do so after a product is released.
VDS performs the below 5 primary Quality Assurance Functions:
- Technology transfer: This function involves getting a product design document as well as trial and error data and its evaluation. The documents are distributed, checked and approved
- Validation: Validation master plan for the entire system is prepared. Approval of test criteria for validating product and process is set. Resource planning for execution of a validation plan is done.
- Documentation: This function controls the distribution and archiving of documents. Any change in a document is made by adopting the proper change control procedure. Approval of all types of documents.
