Test Governance and Test Management
Edge Testing provides test governance on a project ensuring that the quality controls are in place within the testing process to meet with your overall quality management requirements. We provide test management from project initiation through to implementation covering planning, preparation, execution, reporting and testing sign off.
Early Lifecycle Testing
It is widely accepted that it is less expensive to detect and repair a defect early in the lifecycle as in line with our ethos of ‘prevention before cure’. As such Edge Testing provides solutions employing static testing techniques covering the following:
-
Requirements testing – using our 10-point check all requirements are tested
-
Reviews, inspections and walkthroughs – validation of functional specifications and any detailed design documents to ensure that they have successfully captured the business requirements but also detail a feasible solution.
System & System Integration Testing
Edge Testing manages and delivers this key phase to verify the system as a whole, looking at both functional and non-functional testing (which includes usability and accessibility, cross-browser testing, data migration, failover and backup and recovery). This in turn ensures that the deliverables from development meet the functionality as specified.
User Acceptance
Edge Testing can provide support to you for User Acceptance by initially helping you with the strategy, management and approach. We can support the planning and scheduling of environments and resources, script preparation, data identification and test execution as well as liaison with development teams. We also provide mentoring and guidance to your user acceptance.
Performance Testing
Our approach is to provide a comprehensive performance testing capability to ensure that your systems meet their stated requirements. Our performance testers are involved with your team to advise on the approach, define the scope and objectives, plan and manage the performance testing, as well as scripting, executing and analysing the results. The process is supported by use of best-of-breed tools and we have extensive experience with HP LoadRunner with our Edge Products.
Test Automation
Based on a Return-On-Investment (ROI) approach, we understand what should and more importantly what should not be automated. Our experience in WinRunner and QuickTest Pro (QTP) has enabled customers to realise the benefits of test automation in a controlled and structured manner.
