UCView Quality Assurance Version Release

Testing a digital signage is not a trivial task and requires careful consideration before releasing the new update – every feature and option that is release need to be tested with all the available option and make sure it’s not affecting any existing feature and operation on the existing displays. Every link and content that is distributed to the screens must be checked, every form must be filled out and submitted, every feature must be checked and submit to multiple screens, every ad need to be checked, etc.

Therefore it is vital to have a plan, including testing scenarios applying feature in a local and live displays in the fields before actual release can be performed. The test is done by the quality assurance team and report error and bugs to the development team.

The development team is working on multiple beta server where they checked and deploy their code. After intensive testing the code is merge with beta1 server where is been tested and release as RC version (release candidate) this version is than deploy to about 20-30 location for 2 weeks for testing , leaving enough time to report and fix any possible issues, before it deploy as latest version to thousands of UCView digital signage players with its Nation world wide locations.
