Our Specialty Testing services include:
Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Testing
QSoft will validate all ETL (Extraction, Transformation and Loading)
entry points to ensure that data is accurate and data integrity has
not been compromised. QSoft recommends an opportunistic approach to
build functional test automation for each entry point. Performance
is also a key consideration and volumetrics should be gathered for
all front end applications so that load tests can be executed to quickly
identify potential bottlenecks in the warehouse.
Conversion Testing
QSoft has a proven strategy and test flow process to validate the
programs or procedures used to convert data from existing systems
for use in replacement systems. The focus of the strategy is to uncover
typical conversion errors such as:
| Incomplete Data |
Data can
be missing partially or completely. For example, if a record
has six fields and some of them are empty, the data is deemed
to be incomplete. |
|
| Duplicate Data |
Multiple instances of
the same data is a big problem during data migration |
|
| Data Non-comformity |
This refers to information
stored in non-standard formats such as free text fields. |
|
| Inconsistent Data |
When merging various
systems, the data can lack consistency and represent wrong information. |
|
| Inaccurate Data |
Data deteriorates over
time, which can cause a lot of difficulties during migration. |
|
| Data Integrity |
Missing relationship
linkages can drastically degrade the quality of data and pose
problems during migration. |
SOA Testing
Service Oriented Architectures present unique testing challenges.
The cornerstones of SOA testing are vulnerability, interoperability,
performance and functionality. QSoft’s methodology targets
these four areas within the context of the business processes they
support. QSoft uses tools specifically designed to test SOA solutions
to generate vast numbers of business scenarios. Each scenario targets
a specific cornerstone and ensures that critical businesses processes
can be executed to completion and there is no disruption to business.
Security Testing
QSoft has the ability to systematically scan your application and
infrastructure to uncover potential vulnerabilities. Once these
vulnerabilities have been identified, QSoft provides recommendations
to remedy the problem areas and a set of standards that should be
implemented to ensure that ongoing development activities keep you
safe from internal and external attacks. QSoft advocates ongoing
risk analysis and will help you to implement a program and measure
its effectiveness so that you can make proactive modifications to
address new risks before they arise.
Embedded Testing
The world runs on embedded systems: The cell phone in your pocket,
and all the wireless infrastructure behind it; the Palm Pilot on
your desk; the Internet router your e-mails are channeled through;
your big-screen home theater system; the air traffic control station
as well as the delayed aircraft it is monitoring! Software now makes
up 90 percent of the value of these devices. The majority of embedded
systems are real time, which necessitates the testing of timing
constraints in addition to correctness. QSoft’s testing strategy
for embedded systems focuses on seven key principles that are must-dos
when implementing an embedded solution.
RFID Testing
RFID technology covers a tremendous range of applications and underlying
RF and communication techniques. Every RFID communication system
must pass regulatory requirements and must conform to whatever standard
is in use. Today, however, it is system optimization that separates
the winners from the losers in this fast growing industry. QSoft’s
approach to RFID testing takes a three-pronged approach that validates
regulatory requirements, standards conformance and optimization.
Network Testing
QSoft uses a suite of tools to develop a comprehensive view of your
network that includes all attached devices. Models of any segment
or multiple segments can be created so that performance characteristics
can be understood and predicted for multiple load scenarios. Analyzing
the models allows QSoft to make recommendations to improve performance
and ensures that your network topology is optimized for your application
portfolio.
Performance and Load Testing
Let QSoft help you quantify your user’s experience. Application
performance is critical to user adoption, customer acquisition and
retention, and organizational efficiency. QSoft will gather important
volumetrics about your application and develop a performance test
strategy to see how well your applications respond to various load
levels. Our consultants don’t just execute the tests, they
will collect data across all tiers of your application and analyze
it to determine when and where a bottleneck may occur. QSoft’s
summary report will contain tuning recommendations to optimize the
performance of your application as well as findings on how well
the application will scale before the purchase of new hardware becomes
necessary. If you rely on software applications to generate revenue
streams or service your customers, performance testing is a must.
