At Certiva QA, we embed quality assurance into every phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)—from planning to deployment. This ensures early defect detection, better team collaboration, and a smoother release.

1

Requirement Analysis

Our team reviews business and technical requirements early to ensure clarity, completeness, and testability. We raise red flags before development begins—preventing costly rework later.

2

Planning

We contribute to test planning by defining scope, identifying high-risk areas, estimating QA effort, and aligning timelines with the development team for seamless coordination.

3

Design

QA participates in reviewing design specs and wireframes to identify potential usability issues and logic gaps. We begin outlining test scenarios and acceptance criteria during this stage.

4

Development

While developers code, we prepare detailed test cases, checklists, and data sets. We may also conduct pre-QA checks (build smoke tests) and ensure new features are test-ready.

5

Testing

This is where we shine. We perform manual testing, including functional, regression, exploratory, and UAT. We log bugs with full clarity, retest fixes, and ensure all requirements are validated.

6

Deployment

We assist in release validation, performing last-minute smoke and sanity tests in staging or production. We ensure what goes live is what was approved and expected.

7

Maintenance & Support

Post-launch, we monitor user feedback and validate hotfixes or enhancements. We help maintain long-term quality by updating test cases and adapting to evolving requirements.
