Application as QA member

QA Member - Application

What does QA mean?
When manufacturing new Shelly devices and programming the associated firmware and software application, errors cannot be avoided. However, to significantly reduce the risk of a program crash or failure at the customer site, software and the Shelly device is tested by a Quality Assurance (QA) team prior to a release.

What is the role of a QA member?
A QA member's job depends on their technical understanding, skills and/or professional qualifications. However, the main task of the QA member is to increase the quality of Shelly firmware and application software "Shelly Cloud", which increases customer satisfaction as well as the stability and reliability of Shelly devices and application.
Likewise, the hardware, the technical function of the Shelly devices must be tested and evaluated. Here, too, malfunctions or even faulty designs cannot be ruled out.
