Compatibility Testing
AsesoftNet's compatibility testing examines whether your software, Web site, or internal application works as expected on the wide range of components and systems available in the homes and offices of your end users. By investing in compatibility testing early, you avoid increased tech support costs, lost business opportunities, and unhappy users.
AsesoftNet's experienced compatibility testing professionals will give your software, Web site, or internal application the highest level of examination against industry standards-whether we're testing against a single operating system or ten. Our compatibility experts know the difference between incompatibilities with the standards and functionality issues. This knowledge ensures accurate and detailed results, allowing you to make correct and informed decisions about your product.
Some typical compatibility tests include:
- Testing a Web site, or Web-delivered application for compatibility with a range of the leading browsers and desktop hardware platforms. We will test your website/application with current/recent browsers and various user display settings to confirm that your content will be seen as it was designed. Our comprehensive compatibility matrix includes U.S. and international versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and America Online browsers as well as all versions of the Microsoft Windows, Linux and Apple Mac OS (including OS X) operating systems;
- Testing an application on a range of different operating systems, and in combination with other applications;
- Verifying the compatibility and interoperability of a set of enterprise-class applications in a complex hardware and software environment designed to meet your specific business needs.
Functionality Testing
Functionality testing examines the extent to which your hardware, software, Web site, or internal application meets expected functional requirements. AsesoftNet's quality assurance professionals have many years of experience testing functionality. Whether it's an item you've developed or a product you're considering purchasing, we'll come up with a solution that matches your testing needs, schedule, and budget.
Our focused approach to functionality testing includes verifying that an application or Web site conforms to specifications and correctly performs all required functions. In addition, we perform a feature-by-feature validation of behavior, using a wide range of normal and erroneous input data. These techniques ensure that your application will perform properly in the real world.
If you have a checklist or existing functional specification, we'll make sure the item follows it. If not, we'll work with you to develop testing checklists and identify all the key features you'd like us to verify. The process can be as simple as a smoke test to ensure primary functional operation, or as detailed as checking a variety of scenarios, validating that all output meets specified expectations.
We also offer verification of proper functionality for all buttons, list boxes, links, and other GUI elements on your site. Additionally, we can verify the functionality of included applications, regardless of the technology used to create them. AsesoftNet can also evaluate your site using a variety of connection speeds including dial-up, consumer broadband and LAN (T1) connections and through various firewalls to simulate secure environments.
Load and Stress Testing
Proactive load and stress testing eliminates surprises and ensures that your Web site will be able to perform under load. Without testing, it's impossible for you to know what might happen when your site has to function under a heavy load. Will response time degrade slowly or drop off precipitously? At what point might your Web site crash completely?
When your Web server is down, business grinds to a halt. Don't leave yourself vulnerable to system failure, performance degradation, and data loss. Even a performance slowdown can have a dramatic impact on revenue. In fact, research continues to confirm the importance of comprehensive Web site load testing.
Unpredictable user behavior and system variables expose you to the risk of highly visible failure. Load and stress testing offers the following advantages:
- Predictable and budgeted costs
- Avoidance of costly retroactive fixes
- More accurate scalability projections
- Optimal Web site performance leading to an increased return on investment
Using proprietary automated technology, we can load/stress test your e-commerce business solutions whether they are in development or live. We can inexpensively verify and document the availability of your site and provide you with rapid notification of any issues. If you choose, we can perform regularly scheduled web transactions into the target web site and exercises the e-commerce services just as any human customer would.
Usability Testing
Simply put, usability matters. A poorly designed Web site or application user interface (UI) contributes to lower revenues, reduced user productivity, and decreased overall customer satisfaction. Non-intuitive software installation procedures and inadequate documentation lead to higher support costs. The ROI of usability testing is obvious, but how do you ensure that your designs are highly usable, without building, staffing and maintaining expensive in-house usability testing capabilities of your own?
AsesoftNet offers rapid, cost-effective usability assessment and test services for each stage in your product development lifecycle. We use both traditional lab-based qualitative methodologies, as well as advanced on-line usability testing tools. In either case, our staff of usability analysts and human factors specialists can design and execute a test project tailored to your individual requirements.
E-Commerce/Security Testing
Unfortunately, it's not enough to make sure your Web sites and Web-delivered applications work the way they're supposed to; most companies also need to protect themselves from menace. AsesoftNet can make sure your security procedures adequately protect your resources against:
- Denial-of-service attacks
- Hacking
- Network sniffs
In addition to actual security testing, we know our clients are very concerned about the security issues involved in other kinds of testing; confidentiality and integrity of data are essential. At AsesoftNet, we do whatever it takes to communicate with you securely, including working at your site if necessary, maintaining controlled-entry labs, using adequate encryption methods when transmitting information over the Web, etc.
We can validate the on-line ordering, survey data collection and other transactions offered on your site for proper functionality. Additionally, we have developed aggressive methods of attacking these systems to test for appropriate access permission, helping ensure robust security on your site.
