Offshore QA Consulting
The quality of a product depends not on coding standards, software specifications, version control software or testing tools but on the hands
of the people performing analysis, coding, testing and documentation.
Quality Assurance process is a complex of project and technical activities that performs verification that a product matches the project requirements and the company standards.
In fact, System Testing is one of the most important phases in project execution at SolovatDesign and our QA engineers pay special attention to
the quality of the product before release.
Our QA department has 20 full-time engineers with experience from many Nasdag-trade and startup companies from Silicon Valley.
» System Testing
This step is about checking an
application against the requirements, specifications and
company coding standards. System Testing is performed in
various areas:
Check specification:
check existing
functionality vs. planned specification Check schedule:
Planned scheduling vs. real milestones Check budget:
planned resources and budget vs. time spent and invoices
issued The "price-time-functionality equation" is
well known product development. Failing to match all three
corners of this triangle can affect a project execution. Our
PMs carefully discuss each requirement with our clients to
make sure we arrive at the most desirable 'triangle' for each
selected project.
Software Quality Control is one of
the most important steps in product development. Our testing
facility allows our QA engineers to test applications on
various platforms (Unix, Windows, Mac, Palm, Pocket PC,
Symbian, etc).
Our QA test applications under
development through a number of tests:
Functional
Testing is a broad category of testing. It includes a
variety of testing methods such as "Does input and navigation
control work as expected?", "Can the application do something
useful as expected?", "Waht happens if we enter
bondary/negative parameters?", What happens when an error
condition occurs?". For regression testing, tests may be
partially or fully automated (Winrunner, Silk, HTTPUnit, Perl
or Shell scripting).
Usability Testing.
In this phases of system testing our engineers test how easy the developed solutions allows
its users navigate, perform data input and acces as well as checking consistency of workflows throughout an application.
In this phase we also test that the application under testing is user friendly, easy to navigate, has no
misleading functionalities or messages.
Stress tests check how developed application behave under limited resource conditions. The goal is to push the upper
functional limites of a program to ensure that it can function correctly and handle error conditions gracefully.
Coding Standards Review is typically based on development framework or corporate standards of our customers.
The following non-functional tests may be performed based on
agreements with the client:
Performance, Load and Stress testing
Compatibility and SCALABILITY Testing
- Verification of application behavior across different
hardware and software configurations (operating systems,
browsers, network connections) that have been defined in the
sofwtare requiremetns document
Database Performance
Analysis - Monitoring of database activity, checking all
queries and transactions between a Web application and
database server; identifying where and why transactions may be
performing slowly.
