BIG DATA TESTING FOR A LEADING GLOBAL BREWER2
1. Introduction
The foremost determination of this report is to focus on the big data testing for a leading
global brewer a transactional beverage and brewing commercial establishment providing a huge
range of services in terms of 400 beer brands. These establishments has more than 200000
employees working in more than 90 countries all over the world. There are numerous challenges
associated with the business process of this corporation which can be addressed using big data
technologies. There are lots of structure as well as unstructured data which has to be managed in
the first place so that the efficiency of these beverage organization are maintained (Bielow,
Mastrobuoni, and Kempa 2015, pp. 777-787). The key challenges as well as the impact of the
challenges will be evaluated in this report from different perspective such as maintenance of
quality control, maintenance of the software development life cycle in the software used by these
organizations, identification of the cause and the effect of the challenges using a fishbone
diagram, selection of the appropriate project management tool and selection of the legal and
ethical considerations.
2. Critical understanding of the need for quality assurance
a) Quality assurance and quality control
There are lots of quality measures which has to be maintained by the developers of the
software which are used by global brewer organization. It can be said that maintenance of the
software should be a simpler process thus it is very much important for the brewer organizations
to follow quality assurances (Keshavan et al. 2018, pp 365-372). It is very much significant to
maintain quality in the website so that the service offered by these commercial establishments
can be enhanced.

In terms of website development it can be said that maintaining quality is a very
important business factor for most of the users. Especially it must be said that the software which
are used for business purposes had to be created in such as a way so that it offers the best service
for the consumers.
Quality assurance is a huge aspect of website development which use consider numerous
assets such as user experience, manageability, sales and marketing and the content management
system (Brhel et al. 2015, pp 163-181). It can be said that the quality of the software are
maintained generally using the numerous categories of testing procedures such as design testing,
requirements testing, and design testing. Each of these different categories of testing can be very
much important to maintain the quality of service offered by the software.
Quality assurance testing can be very much important to understand the flaws and the
bugs of the software which might have a negative impact of the business on which the software
is being used or about to use. Maintaining the quality of the software is very much important in
order to manage the huge amount of to manage the huge amount of traffic coming from the
consumers of these establishments all over the world (James et al. 2017, pp 51-66). The
maintenance of the quality is also very much required to maintain the speed of the software in
each of the mostly used browsers which are increasingly used by the users of the software such
as Safari, Internet Explorer, Goggle, Firefox, and Opera Mini. It can be said that maintaining the
quality of the software is done using the software developmental life cycle. The entire
functionality of the software must be checked starting from the design level to the use of the
software by both the internal as well as external stakeholders of the business.
It can be said that Quality Assurance is a huge aspect of website development which
matches the deliverables of the software with the outcome or the end result of the server issues

and design issues and most of the development errors of the software (Okonechnikov, Conesa
and García-Alcalde 2015, pp. 292-294). The maintenance of the quality assurance tool is very
much significant to address the user interface issues of the software, at the same time it must be
said that QA tools can be very much important to enhance the use experience of the software.
Each of the specification of the software must be checked in the first place using the quality
assurance tools.
Each stage of the website development such as the information gathering process,
planning phase, designing phase and content writing phase, coding phase, testing phase,
maintenance phase and launching phase should be monitored and analysed so that the service
offered by the software can be enhanced (Kácha et al. 2016. Pp 29). It can be said that a
systematic approach must be considered by the software testers so that the reliability of the
service provided by the software can be maintained over a period of time.
b) National and international quality standards
It can also be said that the global standard which has to be maintained by the software
developers is also possible if quality assurance procedures are followed in the software
developmental labs where the software are designed and developed (Cohen, Hsu and Dahlin
2016, pp. 846-872). It can be said that the larger IT systems which are increasingly used in
commercials establishments. It can also be said that maintenance of standard that ISO 9000,
CMMI model and ISO 15504 etc.
It can also be said that ISO 9126 can be very much significant as it ensures the best
quality solution. The different categories of ISO 9126 like functionality, learnability, reliability
and portability can be very much significant to enhance the performance of both the software as
well as the users who is going to use the software. ISO 25010 is the updated version of ISO 9126

which has 8 product quality characteristics and 31 different categories of sub categories. The
expectation of the consumers can be organized using international quality standards. These
standards are also very much compatible if any kinds of adjustments and modifications are
required in the end product. The most significant contribution of these standards is it helps the
quality control team to u8nderstand the usability of the products, prices can be set accordingly.
Quality facts such as scope, schedule and budget can also be monitored and managed using these
standards. Maintaining the quality management life cycle is easier using these standards as well.
International standards such as IEEE 1012, IEEE 830, IEEE 730, ISO 9001 are very
much useful to maintain the quality standards as well. The areas which are covered with these
quality standards are management responsibility, procurement, design control, data control,
process control, inspection and test status, servicing, traceability and other statistical techniques.
Monitoring of the risks in production can be much easier using these internal standards as well.
Best practises can also be identified using these quality standards.
It can be said that maintaining the software quality management standard is very much
important for maintaining the quality of the products which can be done using the above
discussed international standards (Axelsson and Skoglund 2016, pp. 69-81). Professional
standards has to be maintained by the software developers to ensure the quality of service offered
by the software. It can also be said that each of the maintaining of the global standard can be
very much useful to manage each of the services offered by the software.
It can be said that maintenance of the quality assurance as well as quality control can be
very much important to prevent the future mistakes of the software. The international standards
which are maintained while developing the standards can be very much important to understand
the importance of the service provided by the software.
