The company develops software solutions that handle every aspect of the beverage distributorship, streamlining warehouse efficiency, cutting costs, managing inventories and forecasting sales. Market consolidation forced a period of accelerated development upon the company and it was the QA team that really felt the crunch. Customers became wary about upgrading. Now, with a much more robust approach to software quality an the introduction of new tools from Original Software, VIP has completely turned around its QA process and overcome its customers’ cautious attitudes. The company has now transformed into a software testing centre of excellence with happy customers who are keen to upgrade to new releases.Thu, 19 Aug 2010 05:25:37 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4885/The-Value-and-Importance-of-Code-Review/Development-Best-Practices-Case-Study-Quality-Assurance-Software-Research-Strategyhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4885/The-Value-and-Importance-of-Code-Review/Development-Best-Practices-Case-Study-Quality-Assurance-Software-Research-Strategyrbaucom@redwoodcollaborative.comDevelopmentBest PracticesCase StudyQuality AssuranceSoftwareResearchStrategyDid you know that most code reviews are conducted in an ad hoc fashion, don't always include the right people, and fail to take advantage of the latest tools and technology?
