Testing of Social Media Marketing Tool
A social media marketing tool that lets companies post on multiple social media networks at once. Today the app is an official partner of 10 social media networks. More than 50.000 social media marketing managers take advantage of this app smart content planning features and rich social media analytics. The app can help a team to organize the workspace and an ability to track individual and team progress.
Challenges Faced by the QA Team
The media marketing app was built using Scrum framework. It was impossible to plan and create stable software testing documentation at the initial stage of development. Therefore, it was necessary to implement QA engineer into the development team.
The QA engineer was challenged to run functional testing and UX/UI testing to check app operation. Moreover, the QA engineers had a task to check the operational stability of pre-release versions and make recommendations on how to improve the main features of the app.
Due to the great coverage of the users, the main task was to conduct exploratory testing to find complex logic and non-trivial bugs. The result of this test should be a report about the quality of the product being tested. Moreover, the app should support different browsers and platforms.
