Trigent QA and Testing Services

Trigent provides QA and Testing Services for a variety of software products, web applications, enterprise applications and electronic devices. Services span Domain, Technology and Operations centric testing. Click the different elements on the image to read more about these services and Trigent's test management, support and methodology.

DOT Testing Services

Domain Centric Testing

This consists of test services that are driven by a sound understanding of the product domain. Domain centric test services are:

Functionality Testing:

The Product / Application functionality testing has three distinct steps:

  1. Understand the expected capability of the application (through shared product knowledge, user manuals and available specifications).
  2. Prioritize the features to be tested and design the test scenarios and test cases.
  3. Execute the test cases via a combination of scripted and exploratory testing (An approach to testing where product understanding, test design and test execution run in parallel.) approaches. And the results are reported as test summary reports and bug reports.

Regression Testing

This testing is focused on validating the impacted product capabilities due to the changes introduced. Typical steps followed are:

  1. Identify the impacted modules / components, for each change.
  2. Test the changes.
  3. Test the impacted components via manual and/or automated means.
  4. Enhance the test automation suite, depending on the nature of the change.

Test Automation

Test automation is selectively chosen as a technique when visible improvements in productivity can be gained or when the tests cannot be run manually. Test automation is enabled by selecting appropriate tools and test frameworks to ensure maintainability and ease of execution on a repeatable basis.

Operations Centric Testing

The Operations Centric Testing includes Product / Application deployment, performance and scalability aspects.

Installation Testing

The installation manuals will act as primary inputs to the Installation Testing. The installation testing will uncover answers to questions like:

  • Will the product / application install and uninstall without errors?
  • Will installation take place under all required Operations Systems?
  • Will the installation take place over a previous version?
  • Is it possible to apply the patch on the current version of the application?

Performance Testing

Speed of response and ability to load large data volume on the screen quickly are key measures of the product performance. Once the performance expectations of the product are defined, Trigent designs specific tests (including loading relevant test data) to run performance tests. The test results produce a performance profile report which highlights the application response times and areas that may need further attention. Relevant resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk space) profile is also collated and reported.

Scalability Testing

When the load on the application increases, the number of servers may need to be increased. Testing the ability to scale the number of servers, clusters and fail over testing will be addressed in scalability testing.

Technology Centric Testing

The technical aspects of any product / technology can be somewhat separated from Domain and Operations.  The aspects of technology centric testing are:

Compatibility Testing

Web applications need to be compatible with multiple browsers and products need to install under a variety of platforms. These aspects are tested through Browser compatibility tests and platform compatibility tests. Server applications would be tested and qualified on different versions of Unix/Linux; thick client applications working on a variety of windows operating system variations would be verified.

Security Testing

Testing un-authorized access to the product, ability to hack into the application is focused upon. The risk of security vulnerabilities is assessed and the tests are designed based on the application technology and architecture.

Integration Testing

Typically software products need to deploy and integrate with legacy applications or third party software. The ability of the product to seamlessly integrate with different applications is tested in integration testing.
