Let’s talk about something we care deeply about at Siruk – making sure websites actually work well for real people. We’re a software company based in Aizawl, Mizoram, and over the years, we’ve learned a lot about what makes websites work (and what makes them fail). Today, let’s talk about the role of QA in web development.
Why Should You Care About QA?
Think about the last time a website frustrated you. Maybe it was slow to load, or a button didn’t work, or it looked weird on your phone. That’s exactly what we try to prevent through QA (Quality Assurance). Here in Northeast India, we know these problems all too well – from slow internet connections to websites that just don’t work on mobile phones.
How We Do QA at Siruk
We Test Early and Often
We don’t wait until a website is finished to start testing it. That would be like cooking a whole meal and only tasting it at the end – too late to fix the salt! Instead, our QA team works alongside our developers from day one. When we catch problems early, they’re much easier to fix.
What We Actually Test For
We keep it simple but thorough:
- Does everything work? We click every button and fill every form
- Does it work on different browsers? (Chrome, Firefox, Safari – you name it)
- Does it work well on phones? (Super important since most people here use phones to browse)
- Is it fast enough? (Even with slower internet connections)
- Is it secure? (We take your data safety seriously)
Learning From Our Home in Mizoram
Being based in Mizoram has taught us a lot. We know what it’s like when the internet isn’t perfect. We know how people here use websites. This helps us build better sites that work for everyone – whether you’re in a city with fast internet or in a village with basic connectivity.
What We’ve Learned Along the Way
Write Everything Down
We keep track of what we test and what we find. It’s like having a good recipe – you need to write down what works and what doesn’t. This helps us get better over time.
Mix Old and New Methods
Yes, we use fancy automated testing tools. But we also have real people test everything because machines can’t tell you if something feels awkward or confusing to use.
Talk, Talk, Talk
Our developers and testers actually talk to each other (shocking, we know!). No fancy meetings – just regular check-ins to make sure everyone knows what’s happening.
Looking Forward
We’re pretty excited about the future of web development here in Northeast India. As more businesses go online, we’re committed to making sure their websites actually work for real people.
If you’re building a website, remember: testing isn’t just about finding bugs. It’s about making sure your users have a good experience, no matter how they’re accessing your site.
