Testing and test management

Testing is an integral part of the system development lifecycle, aimed at validating the compliance of the software/IT system. Setting up and defining a system of requirements often also forms part of test management.
Due to the special professional skills and tools required by these activities, they should be performed partially or entirely by involving third-party experts. Before special testing solutions, it is important to define the scope of the activity involved in the testing, as that defined both the expertise and the tools required. The practical implementation of testing has to be separated from defining the framework of the activity, the management of implementation, and tracking the activity, based on which we can define two areas:

• Testing itself: Checking the quality of the IT system.
• Test management: supervising the testing process and controlling the testing tasks.

Instead of the functional testing that is most commonly referred to under testing, we primarily focus on non-functional quality features. The process of the procedure we use perfectly fits into the development lifecycle, as it has been built on generic steps:

Step 1: Testing design (clarifying objectives, defining the method for meeting the objectives)

Step 2: Identification of preconditions (using interviews, discussions, and documents)

Step 3: Drawing up a testing scenario

Step 4: Performance of the testing process, drawing up the testing protocol

In addition to independence, there is also a requirement to interpret and protect the data obtained in the course of the task, which we believe can be ensured by a reliable partner with a long-term presence. Over the course of recent years, we have had a possibility to participate in the testing of numerous large investment projects (including international events and nationwide systems), the experiences of which we have collected.

Priority testing areas

• Security testing
• Performance testing

The performance of non-functional tests is always essential if you want to prevent negative user experiences, client dissatisfaction, non-contractual operation, unexpected operations and possible system failures.

The service is recommended for:

All companies, organizations, and institutions, regardless of size, which

• develop
• use
• operate
• or has third parties develop any unique software or IT system
