Fig Leaf Software’s quality assurance testing includes: checking links and conditional outcomes; verifying calculations; validating browser compatibility and conformance to accessibility guidelines; authenticating error handling/boundary checking and exception handling; analyzing interface usability; and proofreading text content. Quality Assurance begins well before the programming ends. For most projects, the first step for quality assurance builds on the contents of the design and functional specification document, and the outcomes of the creative session to create a set of test plans. The test plans outline the steps that Quality Assurance Analysts will follow to check that the Web site or application functions as described in this document.
