Our contribution

Our engagement

Our QA specialist was tasked to optimize the QA processes to ensure better integration with the development and release cycles, reduce testing time, and improve issue tracking and reporting.

Key Initiatives:

1. QA process and Jira flow optimization
The first major initiative was related to the redesign of the Jira workflow. The new flow was implemented to seamlessly integrate QA processes into the broader development and release pipelines, ensuring smoother collaboration between teams and removing bottlenecks.

2. Testing approach optimization
The testing strategy was revised, and the focus was shifted exclusively to the integration and staging environments, eliminating unnecessary UAT-level testing. This change significantly reduced the time spent on testing activities while maintaining high product quality.

3. Improvement of user story tracking and bug reporting
A clear and structured flow for managing user stories, bugs, and sub-bugs was implemented. This improved the visibility and clarity of tasks, helping both developers and testers understand the context and criticality of reported issues.

4. Enhancement of the bug reporting culture
A standardized approach to bug reporting was introduced. All reported issues now include relevant attachments, such as screenshots or videos, providing comprehensive context, facilitating faster reproduction, and accelerating issue resolution.

Thanks to these initiatives, the QA process became more transparent, efficient, and aligned with development practices. Also, testing efforts became more focused, the quality of communication and issue reporting improved, and overall development cycles became faster and more reliable.
