Project Overview
This project involved QA testing for Codility, the leading technical interview platform, which was outsourced by Tangent to Tareenity. Our objective was to thoroughly test the platform’s features, functionalities, and algorithms to ensure its performance, reliability, and usability. Our commitment was to deliver high-quality testing services, providing Tangent with reliable data for evidence-based hiring decisions. By optimizing the platform and contributing to the goals of building high-performing teams and achieving software excellence, we aimed to ensure the project’s success.
Challenges
- One of the main challenges was to ensure that all links on the site were functioning properly and that there were no broken links. This required us to manually test each link.
- We also performed both back-end testing using WordPress CMS and front-end testing. This required us to work with different technologies and tools to ensure that the website was functioning correctly.
- Another challenge was to check the site for spelling and grammar errors. This required a keen eye for detail and close collaboration with the development team to ensure that all content was error-free.
- Identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities was also a critical challenge since Codility’s platform handles sensitive information. We worked closely with the development team to identify and address potential security issues.
- Finally, we provided regular reports on the project’s quality status. This required effective communication and collaboration with the development team and other stakeholders to ensure that the project met the necessary quality standards.
Solution & Strategy
- As a QA team, we had a critical responsibility to ensure the Codility website was functioning correctly and was user-friendly. To achieve this, we formulated a comprehensive solution and strategy that involved several tasks.
- We first made sure that all links on the site were working correctly and that there were no broken links. Additionally, we conducted rigorous testing of the website’s backend and front end to ensure it met all requirements. We also checked the site for any spelling and grammar errors to present a professional and error-free image to users.
- To manage and track bugs identified during testing, we utilized JIRA for bug tracking, reporting, and management. This enabled us to keep track of the bugs and provided us with a tool for efficient communication with the development team, which was critical for ensuring a quick turnaround time in fixing the issues. Regular reports on the project’s quality status were also provided to keep the development team and the client informed about the progress of the testing phase.
Conclusion
- Overall, the QA team played a crucial role in ensuring the successful delivery of the Codility project. Our solution and strategy involved various tasks such as backend and frontend testing, checking for broken links, spelling and grammar errors, and security vulnerabilities. By using JIRA for bug tracking, reporting, and management, we were able to manage and track the bugs efficiently and effectively.
- Regular reports on the project’s quality status ensured that the development team and the client were well-informed about the progress of the testing phase. Through our efforts, we ensured that the website was fully functional, met all requirements, and was user-friendly. We take pride in our contribution to the project’s success and the impact it will have on Codility’s clients.
