Challenges 

The newly developed application for improving pronunciation in the school subject French was to be tested for functionality shortly before the release. The results were therefore needed at very short notice in order to meet the release date. Pupils' equipment can vary greatly. This also had to be included in the QA process.

"I was very impressed by the reporting: extremely user-friendly, complete and at the same time to the point. The bilingualism was a clear advantage for us."

Cristina Espinosa-Arroyo
Editor Digital Products, Klett

Procedure and solution


This is how testing could take place in time before release:

1.) Planning

Firstly, we met with our partners from Ernst Klett Verlag to answer all the questions and define the requirements. For the project requirements, a suitable device pool was put together and a test group formed. 

2.) Implementation

Our testing team checked the pronunciation trainer against many variables, such as combinations of operating system and internet quality. In this case the manual tests could start without a test plan. 

3.) Comprehensive reporting

We created the customized test report in two languages. The comprehensive reporting and the direct view of the tickets (incl. linked media files) for viewing via our portal enabled a clear orientation for the adjustments in the development process, in time for the release date.

 

 

Conclusion

Thanks to the rapid implementation, we were able to fulfil Klett's requirements and meet the release date.
