We believe in maintaining transparent communication with our clients throughout the testing process. We provide regular updates and reports on the testing progress to keep our clients informed and involved.Our communication process includes the following steps:Initial consultation: We begin by understanding our clients' requirements and expectations. We discuss their project goals, timelines, and testing needs to create a customized testing plan that meets their requirements.Regular status updates: We provide regular updates to our clients on the testing progress. This includes updates on the number of test cases executed, the number of defects found, and the overall status of the testing process.Defect reporting: We report defects as they are identified during the testing process. We provide detailed information about each defect, including its severity, impact, and steps to reproduce it.Test reports: We provide detailed test reports to our clients, including the test results, defect analysis, and recommendations for improving the application's quality. Communication channels: We use Mattermost and Redmine to track defects and communication. We are also happy to use the tools the client already uses, like Jira, Slack or any other software tools.
Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance after the testing is completed?
We do offer ongoing support and maintenance after the testing is completed. We will work closely with the client to update the test case documents, run integration tests and maintain the automation test scripts.

Yes, we have worked on projects with millions of page views per month. We have done performance testing on these applications to ensure that the infrastructure supports the desired load set by the client.
Do you have processes in place for handling and reporting defects or issues identified during testing?
Yes, we have robust processes for handling and reporting defects or issues identified during testing. Our team follows a systematic approach to defect management, which includes the following steps:Defect Identification: Our team identifies defects or issues during testing using various tools and techniques, including manual and automated testing.Defect Recording: Our team records a defect in a defect tracking tool such as Redmine or Jira once a defect is identified. We capture all the necessary information about the defect, including its severity, priority, and steps to reproduce.Defect Analysis: Our team analyzes the defect to determine its root cause and impact on the application. We also assess the risk associated with the defect and prioritize it based on its severity and impact.Defect Fixing: Once the defect is analyzed and prioritized, our development team works on fixing the defect. We follow a standard process for defect fixing, which includes code review, testing, and deployment.Defect Verification: After the defect is fixed, our testing team verifies the fix to ensure that it has been addressed correctly and the defect is resolved.Defect Closure: Once the defect is verified, we close it in the defect tracking tool. We also provide a detailed report to our clients, including information about the defect, its resolution, and the testing performed.

The context-driven software testing methodology suggests for continuous and creative evaluation of testing opportunities. It is a testing way that conforms to the context of the project, more than applying a best practice. For context-driven, a good tester should ask as many questions as possible to reveal not only parts of the context but should know about the act of information.
