Express functional testing of a mobile application for district heating system designers is a rapid and comprehensive process to verify whether the application functions as intended. The goal is to ensure high quality, reliability, and fulfillment of end-user requirements within a short timeframe.
ALTEN Polska supported the client by conducting comprehensive functional testing of a mobile application designed for district heating system designers. The project required swift execution and expert domain knowledge.
The application enabled the creation of heating system node designs, object mapping, and the transfer of specifications to production departments. Ensuring reliability and user-friendliness was critical to the project’s success.
Project Challenge
The client required fast testing of the application after completing the development phase. The goal was to identify potential defects and ensure full functionality. The client sought a high-quality application that met user needs and industry standards.
ALTEN Polska organized a specialized testing team within a single day, ensuring the entire testing process adhered to ISTQB standards. The client prioritized efficient execution, comprehensive documentation, and full transparency throughout the project.
Project Execution
A two-member team from ALTEN Polska conducted functional testing of the application in an eight-week cycle. The project began with the creation of a detailed test plan and the configuration of tools for managing the testing process. The testers acted as end users, accurately simulating real-world usage scenarios.
The testing process included:
- Developing test cases aligned with the test plan objectives,
- Conducting iterative test cycles and reporting defects,
- Continuous collaboration with the client’s development team.
ALTEN Polska experts acquired the necessary domain knowledge to effectively verify the application’s compliance with the specification requirements.
Final Outcome
Over eight weeks, the ALTEN Polska team completed 15 testing iterations, dedicating nearly 150 hours to analyzing the application’s functionality. The client received comprehensive testing documentation, including a list of identified defects and recommendations for resolution.
The outcome was a high-quality, fully functional application ready for deployment. The team’s flexible approach ensured the project schedule aligned seamlessly with the client’s availability.
Summary
Thanks to ALTEN Polska’s support, the client achieved confidence that the application met all functional and quality goals. Precise testing and adaptability to evolving project demands resulted in a product ready for effective use in the energy sector.
