Pushing All the Buttons

Quality assurance is well defined by DataArt as "an entire set of management and technical activities that ensure the (final) product matches all require­ments." That means everything from making sure all the content is carefully spell checked and in the right place to clicking every option on the site to ensure it functions as it should.

On the "Quality Assurance" page opposite, DataArt displays the classic triangle diagram to describe the relationship between price, time, and functionality (or quality). Once again, DataArt recycles the theme of time, which is so important to those who produce software and those who purchase it. The simple, classic message that the three factors are totally inter­woven and that increased quality demands either an increase in time or price just as increased time (to plan and design) can decrease price is one that should be memorized by anyone planning to build and launch a website. Displaying it helps solidify DataArt's claims of development experience.
