Practical QA Tips and Project Progress Strategies for Mobile DSP Advertising Projects
The article shares practical QA techniques and project‑progress strategies for a mobile DSP advertising team, emphasizing paper‑based documentation, rapid test case execution, clear test design using XMind, and the potential of AI‑driven bug analysis, while also highlighting the importance of versatile testing roles.
The author works in a project where the test‑development ratio is 1:6 with many newcomers, covering the entire mobile DSP commercial advertising workflow, which is highly complex.
They summarize several daily QA techniques for driving project progress, discussing each stage of the process.
Compared with electronic documents or large screens, paper documents enhance thinking time; reading on paper encourages deeper contextual analysis, especially for complex business requirements.
They advise printing double‑sided to save resources.
In the era of rapid AI growth, the author hopes teams will analyze bug data to understand developers' bug patterns and consider AI‑driven testing, bug fixing, or even coding, humorously noting it could make testers obsolete.
Regarding speed, the author defines “fast” as executing test cases without needing to think about each step, while still applying free‑test spirit to suspicious scenarios.
Test case structures should be sufficiently clear and reasonable; the team abandons traditional Excel formats in favor of richer XMind diagrams, making cases easy for business partners to understand.
The author enjoys the sense of achievement after writing test cases, often reviewing them multiple times like an artwork, sometimes with a latte.
They note that the most complex stage brings many scenarios and problems, and observing peers helps distinguish testing engineer levels; testers should not limit themselves to a single role.
Encouragement is given to persistently practice deep self‑learning, which brings near‑invincible growth, and readers are invited to share their own “martial arts secrets” for project progress.
