Webomates CQ vs IT QA

Webomates CQ was created from the bottom-up as a SaaS based service that focused on feature testing and regression testing.

Customers provide access to their latest software build, and get audited test case execution, exploratory testing and triaged defects within 24 hours.

QA IT service companies usually provide QA resources (onshore or offshore) to carry out regression/feature testing. The options include:

1. Time and Material contracts
2. Managed service
3. Managed service with SLA (Service Level Agreement)

Customers hire resources, select tools, design a process, provide SLA and own the responsibility of the regression.

Prior to Webomates our team had spent years working with QA IT services and our own development engineers with mediocre results. Keeping this is mind; we started Webomates CQ so that every company, that needs regression/feature testing, can get services – quickly and within budget.

Webomates CQ and AWS

Webomates CQ provides a service for regression/feature testing, like Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides for computer hardware. AWS and other IAAS platforms provide:

1. Cloud based infrastructure
2. Usage based billing
3. Subscription services
4. Strict SLA
5. Management of the infrastructure
6. Scale on need

Webomates CQ Builds on IAAS to Get TAAS

In similar fashion, WebomatesCQ has brought ALL of the above capabilities to the Testing as a Service (TAAS) space. We started with an IAAS base, and then created an online portal with multiple pending patents, that brings together multiple different forms of testing, under one umbrella combining:

Benefits of Webomates CQ

WebomatesCQ fundamentally improves the productivity of the software teams that use the service. This is achieved by a turnaround time of 24 hours or less, extremely low demands on the customer development teams and far greater visibility about the quality of a software build.

The Freedom of a 24-Hour Turnaround

WebomatesCQ delivers a turnaround time of 24 hours, from the time that the customer’s software build is delivered. Regression tests that require a few days or weeks for the team to know the stability of the build, has become an issue in the past. There are options for even faster execution with Overnight testing and CI/CD testing which is carried out in 15 minutes.

Customer Team Focus

Customer development teams no longer need to focus their time on the following:

1. Identifying and managing tools for carrying out regression, like software automation systems, crowdsourcing systems etc.
2. Writing & maintaining test cases
3. Programming and updating automation systems
4. Writing and replicating defects
5. Creating audits for execution

Instead of having tens of QA testers and script writers managing and maintaining this infrastructure, the customer development team typically spends one hour a week reviewing defects and deciding how to dispose of defects. That frees up an awfully large amount of time for our customers.

Release Quality

Knowing that a baseline set of test cases are operational for the latest build, on multiple platforms with a set of defects, allows the development and business teams the flexibility of deciding whether:

1. A release can be deployed into production or not.
2. Defects are known and can be handled, based on the team’s priorities

Webomates v/s QA IT Services

All three forms of QA IT services engagements are centered on billing the customer for resources that are provided by the QA IT service organisation. This results in a lot of trade-offs. Here is a comparison table.

1. Test case creation and management
2. Test case execution
   1. Crowdsourcing
   2. Manual
   3. Automation
   4. A.I.
3. Platforms
   1. Browser/Operating System combinations
   2. Mobile browser and native
   3. Windows native
4. Exploratory testing
5. Defect creation and management

*We don’t know any IT Services QA that guarantees the execution of test cases, and even modified ones within 24 hours. If you find one and tell us your first 3 months are on us!

At Webomates, we have applied this technique in multiple different domains and successfully delivered with a quality defects. We specialize in taking many different software creators’ builds across domains, on 18 different Browser/OS/Mobile platforms and providing them with defects in 24 hours or less.
