Manual Testing Interview Questions -6
Q: How do you
introduce a new software QA process?
A: It depends on the size of the organization and the risks involved. For large
organizations with high-risk projects, a serious management buy-in is required
and a formalized QA process is necessary. For medium size organizations with
lower risk projects, management and organizational buy-in and a slower,
step-by-step process is required. Generally speaking, QA processes should be
balanced with productivity, in order to keep any bureaucracy from getting out
of hand. For smaller groups or projects, an ad-hoc process is more appropriate.
A lot depends on team leads and managers, feedback to developers and good
communication is essential among customers, managers, developers, test
engineers and testers. Regardless the size of the company, the greatest value for
effort is in managing requirement processes, where the goal is requirements
that are clear, complete and
testable.
