Featured Case Study
Learn how Silicus helped a Dutch online back up and software services company successfully test their new release for compatibility within an aggressive timeframe
Mobile application testing is increasing in complexity with the emergence of a variety of handheld devices and applications that are being installed on these devices. Silicus understands the challenges in testing mobile applications, and our mobile testing engineers ensure these aspects are taken care of before validating any application on a particular device.
Some of the key risk areas to be addressed while testing mobile targeted software applications are multiple UI owing to the large number of emerging handheld devices, device and data security, application loading, and adherence to universal standards.
Our Core Software Testing Services
Tool and Automation Services
Silicus testing tools and test automation services cover scripting for identified automation test scenario’s, automated regression testing, test automation framework development using automated testing tools. Silicus experience in test tools implementation and test automation, combined with our extensive knowledge in building high quality testing harnesses and reusable test frameworks, ensures significant savings in your test efforts. We advise the use of test automation, taking into consideration application stability, test coverage, reusability of common testing functions, and return on investment.
Silicus partnerships with third-party test automation vendors like IBM Rational, HP-Mercury and Compuware, and our SQA team’s awareness about the latest developments in open source test automation tools and frameworks helps us recommend the appropriate testing tools to meet a customer’s unique business needs, and enables access to the latest features and releases from the leading test automation software companies.
Functional and UI Testing Services
Functional testing involves a variety of test scenarios aimed at verifying and validating whether an application conforms to its specifications and behaves in the manner it is intended to. Functional Testing of an application can be achieved using one or more combinations of white box testing, black box testing, and feature-by-feature validations.
GUI testing is conducted to make sure that the application’s User Interface is consistent, adheres to the agreed upon standards, and is usable and readable by the end user over different media. For web testing, this could mean browser compatibility and for applications this can involved testing on thick client rich user interface applications.
Software Compatibility and Certification Services
Silicus software compatibility testing and software certification services ensures that your software works on a range of operating systems, browsers, databases and hardware so as to avoid costly and embarrassing errors at customer installations. Our services also extend to ensure compatibility with major technology vendors including Microsoft, Sun, HP, IBM, RedHat and Novell. Silicus certification services are centered on third-party certification programs for major technology platforms.
Security Testing Services
Ensuring the security and reliability of applications is fast becoming an important testing pre-requisite in client-server, web based or mobile applications. Given the highly sophisticated manner in which hacking and other fraudulent activities have evolved, it is very important to understand the vulnerabilities your applications are exposed to and inherent issues related to the usage of a specific technologies and tools used in the application development.
Also, security testing for applications is performed to test the vulnerability of a system to unintended and/ or unauthorized users and processes and to test the authentication and authorization restrictions applicable to different functions of the system.
Silicus security testing services are backed by expertise in testing any application from a security perspective by taking into account the known vulnerabilities and industry standards around these technologies. Silicus security testing engineers have the experience in testing applications and highlighting the inadequacies/ deficiencies due to non-adherence of security processes and standards. All our QA engineers are trained to perform security testing based on industry best practices such as OWASP, PCI DSS and other security standards.
Performance Testing Services
Silicus performance testing services for web based, desktop and mobile applications mitigate the risks of software failure in a live environment due to performance issues. We upfront evaluate the runtime quality of service and the supporting infrastructure requirements under ideal operating conditions to resolve performance issues prior to deployment. The end result will be time and cost savings for the customer and better utilization of resources in post-deployment period.
Testing Framework and Methodology
Testing Outsourcing Solutions
Silicus testing outsourcing solutions are designed towards complementing the testing function within an organization– be it an on-demand model or a long term strategic outsourcing of testing activities. We can provide testing on a project basis, provide you with a dedicated software tester or operate a company's testing function outright, taking full responsibility for the people, process and technology.
Our offshore testing and software quality engineering ODCs ensure that we augment the QA needs of our customers and also assist them to overcome potential issues such as compromised quality due to project schedule overruns, lack of tools and methodologies, high onsite testing costs, limited skills and SQA resources. While we take care of this, the customer can continue to focus on the more important function of defining product features and development of their software product or application.
Software Quality Assurance Management System (SQAMS)
Silicus software testing and quality assurance services are based on Silicus’ SQAMS framework that provides well documented, repeatable, software testing solutions to ensure systems and applications do what they are intended to do and perform at their peak. Clients that partner with us can be rest assured that our testing and software quality control solutions will uncover key issues and that high fidelity software and applications will be released on time and on budget.
