Obstacles Tackled

Issues due to large data quantity in the live environment couldn’t be replicated in our test environments which caused an identification of the issue only after the live release.
In every phase, we have requests for advancement in the system like adding an operation panel with a customized email system, extended search function, UI improvements, and many others. These broaden the scope for testing which was not possible with the existing resources.
External security testing conducted every year at the client’s end raised several verifications of our existing system security.
Security-related questions from prospective client companies intending to subscribe to the Bloom service gave an alert on our security from point of the international market.

Solutions

A new test (QA) environment was created with the same infrastructure and data volume as in the live environment which enabled us to debug live issues beforehand.
In coordination with the EKbana team, we did a resource plan and added QA members to the team, including automated regression testing for accuracy and system all testing after every new feature release.
For continued system security improvement, we provide security testing reports after every phase release. This has helped clients to acknowledge where and what they need to improve. Critical and high-end warnings are requested to fix in the following development phases.
