However, this may be quite tricky to do.<\/p>\n<p>One practice that organizations can follow is to standardize the processes <em>around<\/em> testing such as reporting and tool selection, while allowing flexibility in the actual testing process.<\/p>\n<p>Flexibility is necessary for QA practitioners to take a creative approach and uncover vulnerabilities &amp; find bugs for which a standardized approach may or may not suffice.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is all about finding the right balance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best practices for Software Quality Assurance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having best practices laid out in an organization for software quality assurance guides the testers as well as all the stakeholders involved to the ideal path for maximum QA efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the best practices that should be followed for quality assurance and testing are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a clear understanding of the business goals<\/li>\n<li>Determine unambiguous acceptance criteria for testing<\/li>\n<li>Establish a CI\/CD lifecycle and have QA run in parallel<\/li>\n<li>Follow proper documentation for supported platforms, test plan, test cases and checklists, and release notes<\/li>\n<li>Always conduct exploratory testing for improving the overall outcomes<\/li>\n<li>Establish a Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) for achieving QA maturity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>TCoE for QA maturity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any business or organization needs a TCoE to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Align their QA activity to not only the project goal, but the overall organization\u2019s goals<\/li>\n<li>Have access to the resources with the desired technical and domain skills while keeping the training costs under control<\/li>\n<li>Bring transparency across the QA function<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the testing time without compromising on quality<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate issues such as defect leakage and missed deadlines<\/li>\n<li>Be at the top of all the new testing trends<\/li>\n<li>Standardize your QA function throughout the organization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cigniti.com\/blog\/testing-center-of-excellence-does-your-business-have-one-and-seven-reasons-why-you-need-it\/\"><strong>7 reasons why you need a testing center of excellence<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A testing center of excellence centralizes the software testing and QA practice across an enterprise, enabling them to focus on innovation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can we help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cigniti\u2019s Testing Center of Excellence creates a centralized testing function, helps improve efficiency, optimizes people\/tool utilization, and reduces testing costs.
