37signals Dev

37signals' QA team, consisting of Michael and Gabriel, collaborates with designers and programmers to ensure the best product releases. Their six-week project cycles follow Shape Up methodology, and testing starts once features are in a usable state. They use focused exploration rather than exhaustive test cases, covering usability, performance, and accessibility. Tools like Basecamp for to-do lists and BackstopJS for visual regression testing aid in their streamlined process. Accessibility checks include keyboard navigation, screen readers, and browser extensions. The team's intimate knowledge of their products enhances their QA process.
