Week 63 after press release
How Quality Assurance looks like 👀
This picture actually started as a joke
We were laughing that nobody would believe us if they walked in and saw me sitting here with five laptops. Then I looked at the setup from the side and thought… yeah, this has definitely gotten out of control. 😂
It happened gradually… I promise
So what am I doing with all of them?
As the auditor in the room, I’m running quality assurance across our entire platform, trying to break the happy flow and find things an auditor isn’t supposed to do, but potentially could if we missed something.
The goal 🎯 is simple: find it before our clients do
And while our engineers are doing the final hardening of the code, I’m throwing everything I can at the platform. At some point, one T14 simply wasn’t powerful enough to handle everything I wanted to run, so I found a second laptop. Then a third. Then somehow… here we are 😂
Behind this slightly ridiculous setup is something I take very seriously: we at Auditstage don’t compromise on the quality of what we are releasing for the new auditing season.
What people see is the product. What they don’t see is the endless testing, edge cases, failed attempts, fixes and thousands of little decisions that happen before something is ready to be trusted
And to everyone who asked me how my holidays were… well, you’ve got your answer 🙈
And yes I like to sit on a couch while working.
Stay tuned for next week’s update,
Natalia
