Quality Assurance

The office was lucky recently to be visited by a QA Guru. Shah Kahn gave us the low down on good QA processes and why these are crucial at all levels. QA issues are certainly something we have all noticed and to a person want to put right. Common sense is also a QA process so it's not just •can• it be done this way but •should• it be done this way...

Quality Assurance is a lifestyle, not just for Christmas. It has to be built into the DNA of a project from the initial brief and specification through, design, code production, module testing, system testing, user acceptance and client testing. You can't just add it at the end of a project and use it as a buffer to soak up project creep!

The opportunity for us in the UK business is to become a QA center of excellence and this is an ambition that we intend to grasp with both hands.
