Quality Assurance Tools

Why and When to Use Automated Tools

To guarantee quality of web applications developed LiteBreeze uses a number of quality assurance tools. Quality assurance engineers at LiteBreeze spend a lot of their time manually testing web applications which is at outmost importance to catch complex bugs. Therefore, to save time and let the quality assurance staff carry out their duties LiteBreeze has implemented some automated tools to take care of otherwise cumbersome tasks suc as to verify that the code is written professionally and according to the latest standards.

Coding Convention Tool

A “code sniffer tool” is being used to make sure that coding conventions are always followed. The advantage is that the code is easy to follow as it is consistent through-out the system. And of course it’s also invaluable in case non-LiteBreeze developers are to work on the system.

Code Structure and Anti Code Duplication Tool

A “code duplication/copy-paste detector” is being used to make sure that blocks of code is correctly organized into classes and functions. This does in turn guarantee that code repeatedly used is placed as a common function and makes code easier to understand.

Automatic Creation of Documentation

PHPDocumentor is being used to automatically generate technical documentation. This helps new developers, quality assurance engineers, third party consultants and the like quickly get an overview of the technical solution.

HTML and Speed

HTML and CSS syntax is checked with W3C assure browser compatibility. Tools such as YSlow is used to make sure that the web application or website developed loads fast.
