Appendix-B Software Testing

(without software code) We have exclusive Software Testing department to cater to the needs of Software Development Companies to help them deliver Product of Highest Quality. Our testing lab is equipped with the latest Software Testing Tools for Automated Testing and we also have a team of experienced Software Professionals to carry out Manual Testing. The various tests carried out are as under:

1.

Reliability testing Testing for software reliability in terms of its contents, usage and abnormal crash down of the software for any reason.

2.

Functional testing The purpose of functional testing is to ensure that the application meets the requirements established for it. For example, testing the functionality of an order entry system would include verifying that the right products were shipped, that the right account was billed, and that the credit limits were checked appropriately.

3.

Application Performance testing: Defects in applications without recording a script. Thorough and repeatable performance. Accurately tests the quality, performance and stability of client/server under large user loads.

4.

System Performance Testing Performance bottlenecks

5.

System Resource Management Test Detects run-time errors without source code

Appendix-B Software Testing

(With software code) 1. Testing

Identifies untested application code. Helps improve overall application quality by ensuring all code has been executed and therefore tested. Improves productivity and reduces development time by presenting useful coverage statistics in an easy-to-use and understandable display. Automatically pinpoints areas of code not exercised in testing. Presents coverage statistics for each run of the execution and automatically merges multiple runs.

2.

Application Performance testing:

Regression testing Performance bottlenecks Application analysis including components with or without source code. Thorough and repeatable performance. Accurately tests the quality, performance and stability of client/server and Web applications under large user loads. Generates maximum network and server load. Accurately reports the response time and stability of specific client configurations.

3. a. b.

System Performance Testing

Load Test: Enable hundreds of virtual users to run the same transaction with each user sending different data to the server. System Resource Management Test: Detects run-time errors with or without source code Memory checking categories include: Heap-related errors Stack-related errors Static memory errors Memory leaks File descriptor leaks Identifies and reports errors in: Multi-threaded applications Memory allocated with custom memory managers
