doSmartQA is an intelligent toolbox designed for Agile teams to streamline hypothesis-driven session testing and improve software quality assurance.

About doSmartQA Personal Edition

doSmartQA leverages the HyBIST (Hypothesis-Based Immersive Session Testing) methodology to help QA professionals in tech companies adopt Agile practices. It enhances their ability to design smart probes and systematically explore systems through reconnaissance, exploration, and recoup sessions. This toolkit supports intelligent testing and risk discovery, fostering a proactive quality assurance process.

How to Use

Utilize doSmartQA through three core phases: Reconnaissance to grasp the system overview, Exploration for detailed mapping, and Recoup to delve deeper with smart checklists. Tools like the Landscaper, Mind Mapper, Mapper, Deep Diver, Designer, Executor, and Session Planner guide each phase. An AI-powered Intelligent Assistant helps identify user expectations and potential system issues efficiently.
