Software Testing
What benefits does Quality Assurance (QA) offer, and what is it?
QA, also known as quality assurance of a given product, focuses on qualitative analysis of the developed software. Unlike tester tasks, QA defines processes for evaluating the various stages of app development (work of developers, designers, and other specialists related to the app being created). Thanks to QA, we know how we should verify the implemented functionalities in the software. QA specialists often also conduct tests. Our team of testers works on web applications and mobile apps for Android and iOS platforms.
Why do we test software?
Before handing the app over to our clients, we need to ensure they won't return with a bunch of errors that we didn't catch during development. For this reason, every time we implement a new feature, we should write several tests for it and test it manually. In our case, the developer writes a test while creating the functionality, and after finishing it, hands it over to the tester, who manually checks the application in various variations.
Why is it worth testing applications?
For small, straightforward apps – both mobile and web – practice often shows that a dedicated QA and tester team isn't necessary. In smaller applications, support from a manual tester is often enough, who checks all functionalities step by step. For more significant projects covering dozens or even hundreds of scenarios and functionalities, it's crucial to have a QA who will define the process of evaluating the work. Only then can a tester be responsible for manual and automated testing. Automated testing, in turn, allows for very frequent (often daily) software updates. As a result, a well-implemented testing process can significantly speed up software development, ensuring that the created application is of the highest quality.
The best technologies for software testing
At iMakeable, developers write unit tests while developing a functionality. They then hand over the functionality to a tester who manually tests the software. If the test results are positive, our QA specialists write automated tests. When developing subsequent functionalities, we run tests to check if our changes haven't caused any undesirable effects in the application. At iMakeable, we like to use technologies such as Cypress, Mocha, Jest, Selenium, and Jasmine.
Cypress
Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework designed to ensure that web applications work as expected. Unlike many testing tools, it operates directly within the browser, offering more accurate real-world scenario testing. With a rich set of features like time-traveling...
Mocha
Mocha is a flexible JavaScript test framework running on Node.js, making asynchronous testing simpler and more fun. Paired with assertion libraries like Chai, Mocha provides developers with the tools to write descriptive tests for both the front-end and back-end of thei...
Jest
Developed by Facebook, Jest is a zero-config JavaScript testing framework that places a strong emphasis on simplicity and support for large applications. With its delightful and easy-to-set-up testing environment, it provides features like snapshot testing, test mocking...
Jasmine
Jasmine is a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for testing JavaScript code. With a clean, clear syntax, it doesn't rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. This makes Jasmine both versatile and lightweight. It allows for easy asynchronous testing an...

At iMakeable, developers write unit tests during the development of a given functionality. They then pass the functionality to a tester, who manually tests the software. If the test results are positive, our QA specialists write automated tests. When creating further functionalities, we run tests to ensure our changes have not caused any unintended effects in the application.

Agile Development
We understand that in today's world, mere software development and a ready application are often not enough to achieve set goals. At iMakeable, we focus on building long-term relationships as business partners and assisting startups and companies in the broadest possible range - from idea verification, through product design and development, to support in scaling solutions and establishing marketing and sales processes. Working with us, you won't need to search for many different contractors - we can help with most of the challenges startups and companies face.
Our work requires constant quality control of the code we create. Therefore, a senior-level specialist supervises every project, having completed several projects in their career. We conduct regular Code Reviews, which at least two other people must approve. In every project, we use at least three environments - development, pre-production, and production - and thanks to our quality assurance processes, we know the production environment will be error-free.
We know our products and continuously develop our team. We have dedicated developer teams for each project, so their further development isn't a problem for us. Thanks to a refined recruitment process, we can be sure our team consists of the best specialists in their field who align with our work culture. Every quarter, we also verify our competencies, helping us know how to evolve.
We work according to the Agile methodology, which we have refined to meet the specific needs of our current clients. We will adapt to changes and needs that arise during cooperation. Typically, we work in two-week iterations - and after each iteration, you will receive from us completed functionalities, which will gradually make up a complete application.
