How to QA a data-intensive product

1 min readJul 16, 2019

When getting close to release a new product with data, here are a few things need to check before the PM and the team put the product into the hands of the user.

1. User can see the correct and accurate data, this means the calculation of the numbers are doing what it is supposed to do.
2. The right users can see the right information. This means users with limited permission can only access the data she is supposed to see.
3. User can see the right data at the right time. This means the user can see live data when the product is live, and see the dated data when the product is not live (example, stock market data)

Reflection from QA enablement discussion.
