Software Functional Testing

Cross-platform, localization & regression testing of mission-critical software applications

The Problem

Software applications have become more and more pervasive and integral to mission-critical corporate business processes. Delivering a software project late or with inaccurate functionality preventing proper usage can not only cost money, but also negatively affect reputation and brand-recognition. Thus, meeting delivery deadlines, while ensuring accurate functionality, is key for successfully delivering mission-critical software applications. Plus, the earlier in the software application lifecycle problems are found and fixed, the cheaper it is, as costs grow exponentially with each downstream in the lifecycle. Nevertheless, corporate IT shops still struggle to achieve these goals due to the following major reasons:

  • High complexity of applications to be delivered
  • Decreasing resources and budgets
  • Faster project cycle times
  • QA specialists lacking domain knowledge about the applications to be tested
  • Most testing by far is still done manually
  • Failure of most test automation projects

What You Need

A cost-effective way to ensure that mission-critical software is delivered with accurate functionality, while its delivery deadlines are being met.

  • Management reporting
    Report test results and test progress to management
  • Test automation
    Slash the time required for test execution from a matter of days to a matter of hours. Its value increase with the frequency of repeated test executions, making it especially useful for cross-platform, localization and regression testing
  • Structured manual testing
    Improve consistence, efficiency and manageability of manual testing efforts
