Did you know The Nerdery puts every project through rigorous QA testing before launch? Did you know we’ll also do QA for sites we didn’t even code? Well it’s true. If you missed our QA webinar and are at all concerned about bugs, check out the deck and video below to learn how we find ‘em and fix ‘em.
As part of our ongoing agency primers geared at helping our partners pitch, win, execute and deliver bug-free interactive projects, we’ll cover how to talk to your clients about bugs, and how our QA process vastly minimizes their risk. Learn how the QA team at The Nerdery handles its sacred mission as our last line of defense against bugs.

Two thumbs up from The Nerdery’s QA department will only come after their careful scrutiny of web interface performance and usability, tested in numerous browsers. QA enters bugs into a tracking system, where they are assigned to developers for repair. Once a bug has been fixed, it is reassigned to QA for confirmation.
Nerdery developers give QA an overview of all functionality requirements and specific test cases; these help QA understand what aspects of a project are to be tested and how. QA gives the developers an opportunity to see their project from the perspective of a user or tester –The Nerdery’s QA process fosters an environment of successful self-testing by the developers and is key to the delivery of a quality final product.
In our one-hour webinar we’ll cover:

As our software quality assurance manager, Kai Esbensen sees that websites launch bug-free. Here’s the deal with Kai: software development managers bring him ten websites for QA testing (as Michelle has done in the video below) and he buys them the sandwich of their choice.

We needed an embosser anyway, but Kai’s Frequent QA Club idea greased the wheels for the purchase. Embossing the Nerdery logo on Kai’s punch card was its first official duty.
Two thumbs up from Kai will only come after his careful scrutiny of web interface performance and usability, tested in numerous browsers. He pokes and prods in search of bugs to debug.
Kai’s QA process begins as a software development manager and lead developer walk him through a nearly completed site. They give Kai an overview of all functionality requirements and a list of specific test cases; these help Kai understand what aspects of a project are to be tested and how. Kai helps developers see their work from a picky user’s perspective; his QA process fosters an environment of self-testing by all.
Kai enters bugs into a tracking system, where they’re assigned to developers for repair. Once a bug has been fixed, it is reassigned to Kai for confirmation.
Lastly, upon deployment Kai punches the software development manager’s QA Club card. Each punch is worth one-tenth of a sandwich. Michelle was the Nerdery’s first software development manager to earn a “sammy,” followed closely by card-carrying QA Club members John and Mike. Bon appétit.
