Agile Testing

   

The current software market is very competitive and fast moving; responding to changing customer needs and delivering a working product in minimal time has become increasingly important. The Agile software development methodology (along with variations such as SCRUM, XP, DSDM and Crystal) is based on the Agile Manifesto which involves testing from the customers’ point of view as early as possible, often as soon as stable code becomes available from unit testing. Testhouse have been involved at all levels of the Agile testing process, from providing strategic guidance to implementing test automation frameworks and performance strategies to provide resource to supplement our clients teams.

Application Performance Monitoring

   

As an online business, identifying problems with your web application before your customers do is imperative. Customers are far more likely to visit a competitor’s site rather than call your help-desk if your website response times are unsatisfactory. Testhouse understands that validating your application’s performance doesn’t stop after go-live; however comprehensive pre-live performance testing has been it can never completely replicate a live environment with real users. Testhouse can help you create a monitoring strategy for your live applications, and together with our partners find a range of solutions for monitoring internal networks, active websites, end-user experience and data streaming which best fit your requirements.

Functional Testing

   

Due to the complex nature of today’s IT systems, with a large range of architectures, components, applications and operating systems, creating a fault-free product is near-impossible. Comprehensive functional testing can help you move towards perfection. Testhouse can assess your software and provide a detailed product test plan, targeting any potential business risks within an application. Once faults are identified, we work closely with your developers to eliminate them, leaving you with a functional and stable product which in time will substantially lower your support costs. Testhouse are also partners with all major test tool providers, and can identify the test automation solution which best fits your requirements.

Non Functional Testing

   

Non-Functional Testing covers the quality attributes of a system. These include; Performance Testing, Stability Testing, Accessiblity and Usability Testing, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Testing, Scalability Testing/Future-proofing and Security Testing. Because these are more difficult to identify, they are frequently overlooked, often with catastrophic results. In addition, it is expensive and impractical for many organisations retain internal skill-sets to cover all these areas. Testhouse are specialists in non-functional testing and can provide long-term support to your team, ensure that you have access to the right skill-sets as and when you need them and help you put the best long-term test strategy in place.

Offsite Testing

   

As a global organisation, Testhouse can provide wholly-owned test facilities in a number of locations resulting in a rapid and flexible service to our clients. These include remote testing (UK), near-shoring (Central Europe) and off-shoring (India), ensuring a cost effective, independent review of your software that maximises the end quality. We specialise in identifying a delivery model that will be most suited to our client, which can involve a combination of the above delivery centres. Our secure testing facilities offer our clients the following benefits; ISEB trained testers, secure VPN Access, short lead times, a large range of hosted environments for functional, compatibility and performance testing and dedicated account managers.

Test Tool Installation

   

Most leading vendors now have enterprise-size software testing tools. Hardware setup and software configuration prerequisites for tool installation will often go beyond the usual system administrator’s responsibilities. Documentation provided with the tool will normally contain standard installation procedures and not list existing drawbacks and their workarounds, so there also needs to be a high level of tool awareness and setup experience. Testhouse can provide these skills.

Test Tool Configuration

   

Different test projects will have specific needs that may not be easily met by the generic or un-configured tools that vendors provide. Most toolsets now have extensibility and configuration features that will reshape the tool to meet your requirements, allowing for partial customisation, task automation or data synchronisation with other test suites via software add-ins. Testhouse can reshape the tool to meet your requirements.

Test Tool and Data Migration

   

In a rapidly changing IT environment, tool upgrade and migration issues are common, especially if migration or synchronisation occurs between tools from different vendors. Testhouse can help ensure your migration is successful, allowing you to upgrade to the latest version of your toolset and benefit from enhanced functionality.

Web Testing Services

 

A high-quality, consistent and usable web presence is essential in order to attract and interact with customers, and extend the image and reputation of your business. Testhouse offers a full range of Web Testing Services that can be tailored to customer needs based on time and budget. These include Functional testing, Security testing, Compatibility testing, Load testing, Performance testing, Stress testing, Usability testing, Accessibility testing, and UAT (User Acceptance Testing).

Test Tool Training

   

The range and variety of tools used to cover whole software testing lifecycle and its management will differ from company to company and project to project. We often find that companies fail in successfully implementing and using a test tool to its full potential because staff is not adequately trained in both the tool and process; this is particularly true of test automation tools. Our training consultants are able offer more than just pre-defined scenario tutorials; based on global best practices in the area, a Testhouse training session will typically cover both standard and advanced functionality of the tool as well as real life practical exercises relevant to your current project requirements.
