Testing Workflow

Introduction​

In any software development project, testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of the product. A well-defined testing workflow helps streamline the testing process, identify and fix bugs, and improve the overall stability of the software. This document outlines the testing workflow followed at Hyletic to ensure the delivery of high-quality AI systems and platforms.

Types of Testing​

At Hyletic, we employ a comprehensive approach to testing, which includes various types of testing to cover different aspects of the software. The main types of testing we perform are:

  1. Unit Testing: This type of testing focuses on testing individual components or units of code to verify their correctness and functionality in isolation.

  2. Integration Testing: Integration testing is performed to test the interactions between different components or modules of the software to ensure they work together as expected.

  3. System Testing: System testing validates the entire system as a whole, ensuring that all components are integrated correctly and function as expected.

  4. Performance Testing: Performance testing measures the performance and responsiveness of the system under different load conditions to ensure it can handle the expected workload.

  5. Security Testing: Security testing is performed to identify vulnerabilities in the system and ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to protect against potential threats.

Testing Workflow​

1. Test Planning​

The testing process begins with test planning, where the testing team collaborates with the development team to understand the project requirements and define the scope of testing. In this phase, the following activities take place:

  • Identifying test objectives and goals.
  • Defining the test strategy and approach.
  • Creating a test plan that outlines the testing scope, resources, and schedule.
  • Identifying the test environment and test data requirements.

2. Test Design​

Once the test planning phase is complete, the testing team moves on to test design, where they define the test cases and test scenarios based on the requirements. This phase includes the following steps:

  • Identifying test scenarios and test cases based on functional and non-functional requirements.
  • Defining test data requirements.
  • Prioritizing test cases based on the risk and impact analysis.
  • Creating test scripts and test procedures.

3. Test Execution​

In the test execution phase, the testing team executes the test cases and scenarios defined in the previous phase. This phase involves the following steps:

  • Setting up the test environment.
  • Executing the test cases and recording the results.
  • Reporting and tracking defects in a defect management system.
  • Performing regression testing to ensure that fixes and changes do not introduce new issues.
  • Analyzing and reporting test results.

4. Test Reporting and Closure​

After the test execution phase, the testing team prepares test reports and communicates the results to the stakeholders. This phase includes the following activities:

  • Creating test summary reports that provide an overview of the testing activities and results.
  • Documenting any issues or defects found during testing.
  • Conducting a test closure meeting to review the testing process and lessons learned.
  • Obtaining sign-off from the stakeholders to close the testing phase.

Conclusion​

A well-defined testing workflow is essential for ensuring the quality and reliability of software systems. At Hyletic, we follow a comprehensive testing workflow that includes various types of testing to cover different aspects of our AI systems and platforms. By following this workflow, we can deliver high-quality AI products that meet the needs and expectations of our clients and users.
