Quality Assurance
It quickly becomes apparent when a business deploys a software asset without incorporating quality assurance into its design, development, integration and implementation processes. High support costs, unhappy business users, poor vendor relationships, and schedule overruns are some of the most common symptoms of software investments lacking the solid foundation offered by making quality assurance a priority from day one.
CTS gained our expertise in Quality Assurance through the natural process of starting out as a software development company. Quality Assurance has always been the core of our business. We have the methodologies, partnerships and experience to help you plan and implement quality assurance processes to ensure that your system conforms to requirements, adheres to engineering standards and practices, and is of appropriate quality for all system components. Over 75 percent of our QA staff members hold QA specific certifications in specific tools, processes and methodologies.
Manual Test Execution
Manual test execution is the most basic Quality Assurance service offered by CTS. We can develop a testing strategy that breaks the system into functional areas and then test each area based on a priority system developed between CTS and the client.
Functional Automation Testing
Basic manual testing works well for one time deployments but becomes expensive with regular releases. Automating your manual regression tests will minimize the amount of employee hours needed while achieving maximum results and coverage. CTS will develop an automated testing strategy (including script authoring) and will help you through test execution which will free up your QA resources to work in areas where they can be most effective.
Performance/Load Testing
One of the goals of a successful implementation is making certain that the targeted audience can actually use the system, when required. Performance and availability are two key areas which, when degraded, cause system failure and subtract from your bottom line through lost man-hours. CTS’ expertise allows us to partner with you, and give you a concrete and tangible picture of how your system will perform in Production. With our team of seasoned test professionals, you will have the ability to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks before they become real-world issues.
Test Strategy and Planning
Quality Assurance is fundamentally about identifying and managing risk. In order to do so, it is imperative to capture and report accurate and meaningful results from the right components and sources at the right times. CTS works with you to develop a custom test strategy that fits your specific needs so you can manage your high-priority risks.
