QA: Delivering the Best Version of Your Project (for project managers and non-technical)

shane.str

Overview
In this session, project managers and non-technical people can learn from the perspective of a developer,  what to look for when doing Quality Assurance, what QA should cover, and the tools needed to thoroughly QA a project.

What we will cover:

  • Functionality and design testing
    Arguably, functionality is design, and design is functionality. Learn how to test them both, and how to provide more feedback then “this doesn’t work”, or “this doesn’t look right”
  • Browser testing
    Discover how to test not only in the popular browsers, but in other operating systems and older browsers
  • Device testing
    Ways to test on different platforms when you do not own every device out there
  • The tools one can use to QA
    Discover tools that we can use to QA, with little to no technical knowledge
  • the subtle differences between support and a new build QA
    Discover them, learn them, learn from my mistakes

What you will walk away with:

  • An eye for QA
  • A toolbelt full of tools to QA any task, any site
  • How to handle and curb pixel pushing client QA tasks
  • A better understanding of the depths of QA
  • The ability to more easily relay QA revisions to developers
