QA Process Design & Implementation
Building QA from Scratch for Enterprise Cloud Migration
Enterprise cloud migration · EdTech sector · US
The Challenge
Large-scale database migration (Oracle → PostgreSQL) with no established QA processes, automation framework, or quality standards in place. The team needed to ship on a fixed deadline with zero tolerance for data loss or critical failures.
What We Did
- Built QA team and processes from scratch
- Designed end-to-end automation framework covering web UI, API, and data migration validation
- Integrated automation into CI/CD pipelines
- Established quality KPIs, risk-based testing models, and release readiness criteria
- Coordinated QA across Engineering, Architecture, and Cloud teams
Results
Delivered on time with zero critical production incidents post-migration
Regression cycle reduced from 2 weeks to 3 days through automation
80%+ automated test coverage across migration validation
Release confidence achieved — go-live approved on schedule
