What is Continuous Quality?
Continuous Quality is Lemontree’s concept and model where quality assurance is not just a phase like testing, but a continuous process throughout the entire software development cycle. It helps us and organizations to ensure high quality in their software products by quality assuring, testing, evaluating, and improving the products throughout the entire development and delivery chain from requirements, development, and testing to production.
Many people are familiar today with expressions like Shift Left and the importance of testing earlier, but it still often happens at the end of the development cycle. This leads to errors being discovered late, making them more expensive and time-consuming to fix. This can cause delays, increased costs, and frustration for both development teams and stakeholders. Furthermore, such approach can create an isolated view of quality, where responsibility is placed on specific teams or individuals instead of being an integrated part of the entire organization’s or team’s quality culture.
With Continuous Quality, Lemontree offers insight and methodologies compiled from over 20 years in the IT industry. It provides concepts for testing, automation, requirements management, development, monitoring, creating a model visualizing quality assurance in your organization or team. Instead of being a separate phase at the end of development, quality assurance is integrated into every step of the software development lifecycle.
It’s not all just about doing more in testing, getting a new tool, automating more. We look at the big picture to more easily identify what brings the actual benefit.
Effective quality assurance for better products and increased productivity
With Continuous Quality:
- Quality assurance is integrated as a continuous process throughout the entire software development lifecycle
- Quality problems and defects are identified both early and late in the development cycle
- Productivity and efficiency increase by minimizing the risk of defects and problems in production
- Organizations or teams get an overview of the quality work on software products and proactive improvements of them.
The model helps with the following:
- Create a shared understanding of what quality assurance entails from requirements, development and testing to production
- Offer a type of review for various organizations to establish a current state and a vision for the way forward based on how they currently work with quality assurance, automation, software and product development, etc. Continuous Quality Assessment (CQA)
