Product Testing

There are many approaches to software testing, but effective testing of complex products is essentially a process of investigation, not merely a matter of creating and following procedure. One definition of testing is "the process of questioning a product in order to evaluate it", where the "questions" are things the tester tries to do with the product, and the product answers with its behavior in reaction to the probing of the tester.

The product testing services offered by SFO Technologies ensures that this investigation is carried out in the most systematic and effective manner, so that all the defects are identified and reported before it reaches its end user.

Product Quality Analysis

The ultimate aim in analyzing the quality of the product is to ensure that the product is stable. Then the product is compared with similar ones in the market

Focus on

Standards compliance

Standards have a critical importance on the future development of our abilities to collaborate and interact outside of boundaries and rules dictated only by commercial entities. SFO Technologies had done the standards compliance testing of OPC, Semiconductor Standards,VOIP, DICOM, HIPPA etc

Product stability

Stability of the product means the ability to function, over time and over its full range of use, without failure. The product is observed to hang, crash, or lose data over time. For this we use automation tools. As a result a graph is generated to indicate the variation in Performance Counters like memory, CPU Usage etc over time. Also we have done stress tests to ensure the product stability over its full range of use. We conducts stress tests for both windows and web based applications

Testing software product effectiveness can be improved by testing all possible combinations. However, it is very difficult to test all possible combinations; many a times it is impossible. But we are making it possible with the help of automation tools. A typical scenario is for testing the login page of any application we have 80 test combinations and its automated script.

We test your competitor's products with yours. Basically we compare the features and the performance of your products with that of the competitors in the market

Sustenance

Every day, businesses face the ongoing challenge of making a wide variety of software from many different vendors work together. Making new software work alongside existing systems is an ongoing customer need. Sustenance means adding features to a system without affecting the existing functionalities. SFO Technologies offers its sustenance services to ensure that any extensions or feature additions to the existing systems are error free. Automated testing processes are used extensively in product sustenance.

Periodic evaluation of product quality

We asses the quality of the product periodically by conducting extensive Vampire testing and Regression testing. In most of the long run projects we are successful in automating the entire test cases and executing the scripts for regression testing with slight modifications

Feature testing

Prepares functional test cases to map all the requirements its internal working. Executes all the test cases and reports bugs against any mismatches. After that a domain expert conducts an exploratory testing of the product to ensure that it meets all the functionalities.

Regression testing

Retest the whole product following modification to ensure that faults have not been introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes made .In regression testing we offer full test coverage with the help of automation tools.

Standards Compliance Testing

Software developed for a particular industry or involving specific technologies need to conform to the governing standards for the industry/technology. Standard Compliance Testing is done to determine whether a system meets some specified standard. SFO Technologies is experienced in providing Standard Compliance testing, which involves an in-depth understanding of the industry/technology. SFO Technologies has the expertise in providing such standard compliance testing for OPC standards, Medical Instrumentation standards and many others.

Test Certifications

The test team at SFO Technologies is capable of verifying compliance with various certification / standards requirements. A partial list is given below.
