CIWAO

Making Real Estate Exciting and Innovative for Property Buyers

Real Estate

Project Summary

CIWAO, short for “Come In We Are Open,” is set to transform the real estate industry with its innovative approach. Buyers gain the freedom to explore properties for sale or rent at their convenience, without realtors or appointment scheduling, thanks to CIWAO’s electronic door locks, security cameras, and user-friendly signs. For buyers, this means immediate access, flexible visitation, interactive room narrations, and a tracking journal. Realtors benefit from remote identity verification, time savings, virtual tour options, and a streamlined dashboard. CIWAO promises to revolutionize property exploration, making it accessible, convenient, and secure for all parties involved.

About the Client

In a market saturated with home tour solutions, our client identified a crucial missing element: the absence of unescorted property tours. With a vision to revolutionize the landscape of home tour apps, our client introduced the concept of CIWAO. Although the client had a firm grasp of the essential features required, they encountered technical hurdles that posed potential roadblocks to the project’s success. Enter ChromeQA Lab, a team dedicated to providing the best quality assurance and software testing solutions to help the client bring a high quality product to the market.

Key Challenges and Solutions

Challenge 1 - Hardware Compatibility Testing

Our Solution

At ChromeQA Lab, our software testing methodology was centered on comprehensive compatibility testing. We meticulously examined the compatibility of the CIWAO software system with a wide range of hardware components sourced from various vendors. This included conducting regression testing and multi-platform testing to guarantee the software’s seamless performance under all circumstances.

Challenge 2 - Security and Authenticity Testing

Our Solution

At ChromeQA Lab, our central role was to aid the client in the thorough evaluation of various third-party platforms and APIs to effectively verify user details. Our software testing approach revolved around scrutinizing these external solutions to ensure they seamlessly aligned with CIWAO’s security and authenticity requirements. We rigorously tested these platforms and APIs to confirm they met all the necessary criteria, providing the essential assistance that our platform demanded.

Challenge 3 - Hardware Integration Testing

Our Solution

Our team of software testing experts maintained continuous communication with the hardware provider team. We thoroughly examined their systems and conducted extensive testing to ensure that CIWAO could integrate smoothly with the hardware components. Our testing approach involved thoroughly testing the compatibility of code with different hardware and obtain the desired output.

Challenge 4 - Testing in Real-world Scenarios

Our Solution

First, we acquired the necessary hardware components to conduct comprehensive testing. Second, our QA team ventured into various real-world settings to create simulated CIWAO environments. We then thoroughly assessed the software’s functionality and performance under these real-world conditions.

Challenge 5 - Client Satisfaction Through Testing

Our Solution

To ensure client satisfaction, we initiated our software testing efforts with a Proof of Concept (PoC). Our dedicated testing team demonstrated their expertise by showcasing their capabilities and successfully meeting the client’s high expectations. Our testing approach played a pivotal role in building trust with the client.

Challenge 6 - Lack of a Dedicated QA Team or Testing Experts at the client side
