Collaborate with stakeholders to gather and analyze requirements thoroughly. Understanding both functional and non-functional requirements helps establish clear quality criteria and expectations.

Develop a comprehensive test plan that outlines the testing strategy, objectives, scope, resources, timelines, and deliverables. This plan serves as a roadmap for the quality engineering process and aligns with project goals.

Create detailed test cases and scenarios based on the requirements. This includes defining test data, expected outcomes, and specific conditions for testing to ensure thorough coverage of all functionalities.

Establish a controlled testing environment that mirrors production settings. This setup ensures that testing conditions are realistic and that any identified issues can be effectively addressed.

Identify repetitive and critical test cases for automation to enhance efficiency and consistency. Implement automated testing tools to facilitate continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes.

Conduct manual and automated tests as per the test plan. This includes functional testing, regression testing, performance testing, and security testing to validate that the application meets quality standards.

Identify, document, and categorize defects found during testing. Provide clear and concise information to the development team to facilitate effective resolution and prioritize defects based on severity and impact.

Once defects are resolved, retest the application to confirm that issues have been successfully addressed and that no new defects have been introduced. This step ensures the overall stability and reliability of the product.

Evaluate the application’s performance under various load conditions. Test for speed, scalability, and responsiveness to ensure that the application can handle expected user traffic and usage patterns.

Facilitate UAT sessions with end-users to validate that the application meets their needs and expectations. Gather feedback and make necessary adjustments based on user insights to enhance usability.

Implement monitoring tools to track application performance and user feedback post-deployment. This ongoing assessment helps identify potential issues early and supports continuous improvement efforts.

Conduct retrospectives at the end of each project phase to evaluate the effectiveness of the quality engineering process. Gather insights from team members to identify areas for improvement and refine practices for future projects.
