Offshore Software testing. Break the Code, without breaking the bank

We have mastered the job of providing outsourced independent third party testing services. Both in the fields of web and software applications that are designed and developed on the Microsoft and Java development platforms.

• Compatibility Testing
• Functionality Testing
• Usability Testing
• Quality and Adequacy of Documentation Testing

Performance and Scalability Testing:

The Sysfore scalability lab is technologically highly advanced. It features powerful workstations and top-of-the-line networking equipment thus rendering us capable of testing the performance and scalability of an end-to-end solution and not just the individual components.

Generating realistic loads of thousands of virtual users [consisting of a mix of user profiles] and exercising different portions of a dynamic Web application that is based on real-world Web usage patterns is child's play.

Sysfore Strengths

Per-page user response times, web interactions per second, transaction error rates, network traffic and other crtical statistics can all be deduced using our testing tools. Effortless arrivals at reports on empirical performance metrics of e-commerce products subjected to massive user load, versus projecting results based on smaller load tests is also common.

The above approach leaves no room for mistakes while judging the products on the testing table. Alliances with leading web testing tool vendors helps us generate the complex scripts to be used in testing.

Sysfore's typical scalability testing involves the following steps:

• Consult with the client to determine the activities that will be exercised during testing.
• Code the test tool script to stress the website.
• Coordinate the enabling of appropriate server log files during the test.
• Consult with the client regarding a response time threshold value.
• Determine how many concurrent virtual users cause the response time to exceed the threshold value.
  
• Calculate average response times under various load conditions.

Web/E-commerce Testing and Compatibility Testing is a standard job at Sysfore

Sysfore examines a website's compatibility with multiple operating system/browser combinations. We work closely with clients to develop a compatibility-testing matrix that will include the relevant combinations to be tested. Available configurations typically include Intel-based systems with Windows operating systems and associated browsers as well as Macintosh systems and associated browsers. But Sysfore tests the major features of the website during the compatibility testing, using various approaches.

Sysfore works with clients to develop a test matrix that reflects the hardware and software combinations to be tested and uses a variety of different editions and service packs of operating environments in the testing. Sysfore has identified more than 70 possible combinations of configurations. During testing, Sysfore evaluates the ability of the website to work in a satisfactory manner using both high- and low-speed connections. All major functions of the website will be exercised by each configuration.

Functionality Testing

Sysfore's functionality testing includes examination of website pages, menus, options, and links to determine if the site functions as intended. Sysfore logs on to a client site and, acting as multiple types of users, performs many functions associated with that site. Sysfore accomplishes functionality testing by utilizing Sysfore-developed test scripts, client-developed test scripts, or some combination of both. Sysfore works with clients to determine the appropriate operating system and browser combinations to be tested. Typically, Sysfore exercises all site functions including links, search operations and responsiveness.

Usability Testing

To conduct usability testing, Sysfore assembles a focus group of testers with a broad range of experience in personal computer and Internet usage. Working with its client, Sysfore's highly skilled Usability Testing Team develops a questionnaire that addresses the various aspects of the client's website. The questionnaire, along with the focus group debriefing, is designed to elicit the responses and opinions of the members of the focus group regarding the usability of the website. A final report will include Sysfore's expert opinion as well as the individual responses and group consensus regarding the comparative usability of the website.
