QA it


AOK QA-It can be used as a bolt-on to AOK Fix-It. It includes a range of QA plug-ins from the AOK QA group plus access to the report generator where people can write their own plugins from a number of predefined templates. QA-It also allows people to write and add complex plug-ins if they have the skills. The QA process is expensive and time consuming but vitally important. In a typical migration project it takes up nearly a third of the packaging time. The QA process is prone to human error and costly. It can cost end-user organisations a great deal of time and for Outsource Partners it leads to failed SLAs and financial penalties. QA-It reports issues and automatically updates them to make MSIs standards compliant. This allows you to fully automate your QA checking process gaining all the benefits of automation. Additionally, these checks and fixes are 100% repeatable and so will eliminate failures and rework. Using AOK QA-It clients have achieved time savings of up to 95% in comparison to manual checking. Key Product Benefits Considerably reduces QA costs and resources employed Ready-made pack of the most common QA checks QA plug-in generator for tailoring user generated QA checks and fixes Complete consistency regardless of level of application complexity Reduced round tripping due to failures
The process of testing for adherence to standards often requires packagers or QA staff to check thousands of registry settings, or component GUIDs looking for non-conformant entries. Each must be manually amended and often require the updating of many tables in the MSI database to maintain the integrity. The failure rate against standards is traditionally high, leading to SLA failures and additional costs incurred in returning failed packages for amendment and retesting. Failed SLAs and all the round tripping overlays additional expense on an already expensive process. QA-It will drastically reduce time for each check including fixes to approximately a minute. The time taken will be completely consistent no matter whether the application is of simple, medium or high complexity. And most importantly because the checks and fixes are codified it will eliminate SLA failures and round tripping. With QA-It the savings can be huge and the quality is 100% consistent. No more QA failures, no more failed SLAs.
