Computer Programming Expert

Result of Service A thorough testing strategy will be implemented to ensure smooth delivery from research to production. The main testing stages are the following:

1. Agile development testing will be adopted throughout the framework, allowing unit, component, interface, and module testing, based on dedicated test cards, and using real UN and synthetic data. 2. Alpha and beta testing and deployment of the assessment builder and game component following the prototypes developed in the previous phases. 3. Third-party and non-expert users' evaluation of front end functionality and usability. 4. Final testing after fine-tuning based on all the above testing stages.
