5
QA and testing
For high-quality test planning, the QA team reviews portal requirements and user stories, and architecture design. Then, in parallel with development, our QA team verifies that your web portal runs as planned and complies with all set requirements and checks the security of your data. Wherever reasonable, we employ test automation to decrease testing time and costs.
6
Deployment and setup
We get the portal running in your IT environment, train your support team if needed and provide user guides.
7
After-release support
For 1-3 months, we answer your after-release questions, manage incidents, configuration changes and updates.
