Software development is becoming increasingly complex as technology evolves. Growing user expectations and competition demand that software not only functions but is also reliable, scalable, and user-friendly. This is where Quality Assurance (QA) plays a crucial role in the development process. QA is about ensuring that software meets defined standards and user requirements, while also identifying and resolving errors quickly. This not only enhances product quality but also improves efficiency and cost-effectiveness in development.
As a company, Daxap aims for comprehensive quality in software projects, with a particular focus on functionality, compatibility, security, performance, and user experience. Our QA processes continuously evaluate the software against these criteria, working proactively to maintain high quality throughout the project to ensure customer satisfaction and sustainable quality.
Comprehensive Approach to Quality Elements
Software quality encompasses more than just correct functionality; it also includes compatibility, security, performance, and user experience. To ensure these factors, we use the following approaches:
Compatibility: We conduct compatibility testing to ensure that the software works optimally across all platforms and devices, including system integrations and user interfaces.
Security: Data protection and software security are key points in our QA strategy. We use security and penetration testing to ensure the software can withstand cyber threats.
Performance: To ensure the software runs quickly and reliably under user loads, we conduct performance tests that measure response time and scalability.
User Experience: We prioritize usability through tests that ensure visual compatibility, accessibility, and ease of use for an optimal user experience.
Test Approaches Supporting Quality Elements
To strengthen software quality, we employ a range of testing processes:
API Automation Tests: Our API tests ensure API functionality, data security, and cross-platform compatibility, providing fast and reliable performance.
UI and Mobile Tests: To ensure user-friendliness, we test user interfaces and mobile solutions. For example, we have conducted extensive UI and mobile testing in Kiddy to ensure a consistent user experience across all platforms.
Performance Tests: Performance tests ensure that the software remains stable under high traffic. For instance, we tested Malimo to guarantee high performance for a large number of users.
Security and Penetration Tests: These tests evaluate the robustness against cyber threats. In Kiddy, we used penetration testing to safeguard users’ data.
Manual Testing: When automation isn’t enough, we use manual testing to assess the user experience. Feedback from users helps to continuously improve the software.
Future-Oriented Perspective
Quality Assurance is essential for success in software development and will remain important in the future. New technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning will enhance QA processes and make error detection even more efficient.
Daxap closely follows these developments and continuously updates our quality assurance strategies. Our projects, such as Kiddy and Malimo, reflect our dedication to quality and proactive approach. We aim to meet both current and future challenges, providing our customers with the highest quality software solutions.
At Daxap, we are deeply committed to ensuring the success of our projects by working through a thorough mapping process. Mapping is a critical phase in project development, involving extensive analysis and planning to lay a solid foundation for the project. This process is crucial for understanding the project’s requirements and challenges, ensuring that we deliver solutions that are both effective and precise.
What Is Mapping?
Mapping is a thorough phase that usually lasts 1-2 months depending on the project’s size and complexity. This stage allows us to gather all necessary data, evaluate the project’s requirements, and develop a detailed plan for the development. The length of the mapping phase can vary depending on several factors, such as the project’s complexity, UI/UX requirements, and the partner’s level of preparedness.
Daxap’s Approach to Mapping
At Daxap, we value deeply involving ourselves in the projects we work on. Our approach to mapping is not just an analysis process; it is an integrated part of our partnership with clients. We focus on becoming a true partner in the project, using our expertise to create solutions tailored to our clients’ needs and goals. This is a key difference from many consulting firms, which often take a more standardized approach.
During the mapping process, our team—comprising a Product Owner (PO), Architect Designer, Backend Developer, QA Manager, and relevant developers—will work closely with the client to develop a comprehensive plan. This includes weekly meetings with the client to ensure that we are on the same page and that the project is realized according to the agreed-upon goals and expectations.
What Does Mapping Include?
Mapping results in several key deliverables, including:
Feature Matrix – A detailed overview of all features and requirements of the project.
Architecture Diagrams – Comprehensive architecture diagrams and flow diagrams to visualize and plan the project’s structure.
Acceptance Criteria and User Stories – Defining what is within and outside the project’s scope.
UI/UX Design – Sketches and designs that show how the user will interact with the product.
Once we have agreed with the partner on the project details, we prepare a development agreement and begin the development phase. Our approach is based on delivering the agreed product within the specified timeframe without charging clients on an hourly basis. This means that we focus on delivering high quality within the agreed timeframe rather than basing costs on hourly rates.
No Use of Subcontractors
During the development phase, we do not use subcontractors. All developers working on the project are Daxap employees and work according to our ISMS (Information Security Management System) and development standards. This ensures consistent and high-quality work at every stage and meets the client’s needs and requirements.
Agile Approach
Throughout the process, we apply an agile approach that focuses on flexibility and continuous improvement. This means that we adapt to changes and feedback along the way, ensuring that the project is always on the right track to meet the client’s needs and expectations.
Mapping is an essential part of our process at Daxap. It ensures that we deliver solutions that not only meet the client’s requirements but also provide unique value and success. Our thorough and engaged approach to mapping and development helps us build strong, long-term partnerships with our clients, delivering solutions that truly make a difference.

Malimo AS, a leading provider of educational materials for primary schools, special education, and kindergartens, aimed to modernize its digital platform. Their goal was to promote mastery-based motivation and differentiated instruction while making life easier for teachers. This is where we at Daxap, a company focused on technological innovation, came into the picture to build a completely new platform from scratch.
Before partnering with Daxap, Malimo faced several challenges with its existing digital platform. The platform’s functionalities were outdated, and scalability was limited. The user-friendliness was also not at the desired level, which hindered Malimo from providing effective educational tools and resources to teachers in Norwegian schools.
A chance meeting was the beginning of a long-term collaboration
At that time, they needed a complete digital transformation, and by chance, came into contact with us through an event called “Springbrett” organized by Connect Midt-Norge. Both Daxap and Malimo quickly realized they had much in common. We both wanted to make a difference in society, and we then sat down together to break down the requirements and gain a complete understanding of their needs.
The collaboration began with thorough discussions to understand Malimo’s specific needs. We conducted extensive research and analysis of the education sector to ensure the solution would meet industry requirements. We developed a detailed roadmap for the project, and then worked closely with Malimo to ensure all features and functionalities were integrated seamlessly into the solution. By using an agile development approach and conducting frequent feedback sessions, Malimo could quickly adjust and improve the platform. Despite technical challenges, the teams remained focused on delivering a solution that not only met but also exceeded Malimo’s expectations.
The partnership between Daxap and Malimo demonstrates how collaboration and partnerships can overcome technical challenges and facilitate digital transformation. For us, Malimo is a partner with whom we collaborate, not just work for. Our shared honesty and expectations of each other are among the factors that drive us to go the extra mile!
