EdTech QA runs on the academic calendar
Term starts, enrolment windows and exam days create sharp traffic peaks and zero tolerance for failure. A bug during a timed assessment affects grades and trust, not just a dashboard.
We test the journeys of every role, student, teacher, parent and administrator, on the devices schools actually use, and load-test the moments that matter before the calendar makes them urgent.
What we test
Learning management
Courses, modules, assignments, submissions, rubrics and feedback.
Assessments
Question types, timers, autosave, resume after disconnect and scoring.
Integrations
LTI 1.3 launches, OneRoster and Clever roster sync, grade passback and SSO.
Role-based access
What each student, teacher, parent and admin can see and change.
Device coverage
Chromebooks, older tablets, low bandwidth and offline-friendly behaviour.
Exam-day performance
Load tests for logins and submissions at the start and end of exams.
How we approach it
- Role-based journeys: Automated suites per role, run together to catch cross-role bugs.
- Calendar-driven load tests: Rehearsals ahead of term start, enrolment and exam periods.
- Synthetic student data: Realistic rosters and records that never use real student information.
- Accessibility as a gate: Automated checks in CI plus manual screen-reader and keyboard testing.
- Integration certification support: Test evidence for standards conformance on LTI and roster sync.
Standards we design around
- FERPA and COPPA: Student record privacy and parental consent for younger learners.
- WCAG 2.2 and Section 508: Accessible learning for every student, as procurement increasingly requires.
- 1EdTech LTI and OneRoster: Interoperable tool launches and roster exchange with schools.
- GDPR: Data handling for learners and institutions in the UK and EU.
How we work with these teams
EdTech engagements usually pair QA automation for each user role with API testing for integrations, plus performance testing timed to the academic calendar. See our QA automation, API testing and performance testing services.
