Types of Testing

StepIn2IT provides a wide range of software testing consultancy services including but not limited to:

Functional Testing (Manual and Automated Testing)

Functional testing is focused on testing the system to ensure it is doing what it is supposed to do. Well that's not it. To ensure the system is not doing what is not supposed to do is also very important. We'' develop test cases based on requirements (business, functional, technical etc.) to test the system end to end to uncover defects. We have developed expertise in testing specific domains including websites, web based applications, portals, e-commerce and e-business systems. We use industry standard tools like HP QTP or Selenium and other available tools to test your application to guarantee the highest standards of quality assurance are met. We also use tools to perform cross browser compatibility testing and cross platform compatibility testing to ensure you applications works on different platforms and browsers. In addition to this, we can help you in testing on mobile devices on various platforms. Our well equipped test lab with up to date tools can facilitate this. Whether it is iOS, Android, Blackberry or Windows we can test it. We have worked on various models including Waterfall, Agile, Iterative and Test Driven Development and bring the expertise to meet your requirements no matter which model you have adopted.

Non Functional Testing (Load & Stress Testing)

To ensure that an application can process the required volumes of data and requests we'll work with you to identify peak load requirements and what is an acceptable performance level before we perform load testing to the applications current performance levels. This will help determine system and software performance capabilities. We'll provide detailed performance statistics along with an analysis to help make an informed decision. We can also help assess various tools and help you in your decision on what tool to implement. As an independent consulting organization not affiliated with any specific organization, our recommendation is based on your unique requirements including cost of implementation, training and the tools capabilities itself.

Security Testing

This Testing is performed to determine whether the application under test (AUT) meets its specific security objectives which prevent unauthorized access, access to relevant data based on roles within the organization. Unlike penetration testing, the focus is on testing a system from within the organization.

Regression Testing

Retesting of a previously tested program following a defect fix or enhancement to ensure that the changes have not impacted previously working functionality or introduced new defects. We regularly employ test automation tools to ensure tests repeatable, reusable and achieve faster turnaround.

Automated Testing

Once we have validated your application under test, we can identify & implement an automation framework whether it be a keyword driven, data driven or a hybrid framework. Our consultants can help you identify the best framework customized to your needs.
