QA Touch is a test management and quality assurance (QA) software that offers a range of features to help QA teams plan, organize, and manage their testing efforts. Here are some of the key features typically found in QA Touch:

Test Case Management:

A test case has a set of test data, preconditions, expected results, and postconditions, developed for a particular test scenario in order to verify compliance against a specific requirement.

  • Define test steps, expected results, and attachments.
  • Categorize test cases into folders or hierarchies.

Test Execution:

Test execution / Test run is a process of executing written Test cases to check whether is function / scenario is working as intended.

With QA Touch you can,

  • Plan and execute test runs.
  • Assign test runs to testers.
  • Record test execution results, including pass/fail status and comments.

Bug Tracking:

A Bug is a flaw in the product /project that reduces its usability of the product. Bug Tracking is a process of recording a detailed description of a failed scenario. 

With QA Touch you can,

  • Log and track defects or issues found during testing.
  • Associate defects with test cases.
  • Monitor the status and progress of bug fixes.

Requirements Management:

Software requirement is a functional or non-functional need to be implemented in the system.

With QA Touch you can,

Define and manage requirements or user stories.

Link test cases to requirements for traceability.

Requirements can be described as the “what” of a project. They define the functionalities, features, and qualities that a product or service should possess. Think of them as a wish list that outlines exactly what you want your project to accomplish. These requirements act as a blueprint, guiding the project team in creating a solution that meets the client’s needs. From specifying user experience to technical specifications, requirements cover various aspects of a project, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.

Requirements are like the ingredients of a recipe; without them, the end result may not be what you desire. They serve as the foundation for the entire project, providing clarity and direction to the team. By understanding and documenting requirements, project managers can effectively communicate with stakeholders, developers can accurately build the product, and testers can ensure that everything functions as intended. Requirements play a crucial role in minimizing misunderstandings, reducing risks, and maximizing the chances of project success.
