Testing
Our testing team has extensive experience in Agile practices, working with both Agile and non-Agile teams, leadership in automated testing, and a successful record of coaching - we have helped many organizations adapt to Agile testing methodologies. We have highly experienced consultants passionate about testing practices and strategies, allowing us to implement the right testing processes and practices for the applications and products we deliver.
Critical feedback mechanism
Many software development organizations treat testing as a mere checkpoint to be passed before taking the product live. Months of this kind of "testing" add no value to the product and the product becomes out-of-date. Agile testing incorporates the concept of testing along with development. Most of our projects follow an early feedback mechanism, where we conduct testing at various stages during the development cycle, whenever and wherever possible. This reduces the amount of time spent in testing the application before going live and helps to gather relevant feedback on what the application does and does not do. It also comes up with highly appreciated results including minimized defect leakage in production and considerable reduction in defect fixing cost.
The role of QA at ThoughtWorks
Aspiring testers will find an exciting and progressive career platform in Thoughtworks. We provide the right opportunity to extend your expertise into analysis, coding, communication and so on. We often pair testers with developers, which obviously leads to an increased coding knowledge, and so the development of more maintainable automated suites. On the other hand, they can portion out their exuberant testing skills with developers. On pairing with an analyst, this type of mutual knowledge sharing continues and builds really close-knit and highly performing teams. Working closely with customers helps the test team to ask right questions and come up with the right acceptance criteria and makes sure that our customers get full visibility of the product being developed.
