Quality assurance
for our solutions is a central part of the Zuken culture.
We have formed a global Quality Control Task Force whereby Japanese, German,
and British software engineers work together during the development and test
phases for each solution. The Task Force defines and applies strict company-wide
quality standards in all development centers. Every solution (tool suite) developed at Zuken is tested
during the development phase and has to pass through two
rigorous quality control cycles upon completion:
| Quality
Control 1 |
 |
Thorough
testing of all new functionality and the core of the
tools |
| Quality
Control 2 |
 |
The
tools are tested for their ability to integrate within
the complete design environment |
 |
The
full design cycle is tested on actual customer data |
 |
Beta
sites use the software and report any faults |
During all phases, the progress of testing and fixing
is constantly monitored using web-based management technology.
We constantly review our testing procedures to ensure
adequate coverage and we refine our quality measurement
procedures on an ongoing basis during all quality control
cycles. This ensures that any software that Zuken delivers
has quality built in. |
