Implementation Methodology
The implementation methodology is divided into four periods. They are:
Set-up
Evaluation
Delivery
Acceptance
They are segregated from one another to properly schedule the project as well as to determine both Client and QA remote
team’s responsibilities and when resources should be allocated. It also reflects when activity is simultaneous with another or
which is pre-requisite of other.
1. Set-up Period
The Client will:
a.
b.
Identify, develop, setup, and/or deliver a unit tested release on agreed release dates to QA remote team. This
includes spending a short period of time to provide a reasonable/sensibility check before carrying out the test by
QA remote team.
Give the required resources to be used for the testing.
The QA remote team will do workstation setup to get ready for the testing, if necessary.
2. Evaluation Period
The QA remote team will apply the QA work activities objectively, gather information, create the summary report, and
record the QA work results. This includes finding and escalating QA work activity issues and/or concerns to Client as they
occur.
3. Delivery Period
The QA remote team will deliver the summary report and QA work results to Client for review and likely action.
The Client may request for revisions if the delivered QA work files failed to satisfy his/her project test requirements. If
necessary, the QA remote team will communicate with Client for mutual agreement and resolution to complete the project
testing needs. This includes revising the summary report and QA work results based on reviews made by Client.
The Client has three days to provide a notice of acceptance or non-acceptance based on delivered QA work files.
4. Acceptance Period

work is considered complete if the Client fails to provide the QA remote team a notice of acceptance or non-acceptance
within the response time.
The QA remote team will upload all the QA work files that have been completed to the Service, while the Service will scan
and ensure all the transferred files were free from any damages caused by viruses, malware, and etc. before sharing them to
Client for management, maintenance, and execution throughout the project.
