Software Testing impacts not only your final product quality, but also the project delivery budget and schedule. Well managed and correctly executed testing at different stages of the software development lifecycle contributes to the overall goal of delivering quality software applications. The market for software tools has grown in the past few years and some of the stand alone, easy to manage applications have developed into huge test suites with wide range of functionality and project implementation scenarios. Nowadays, test tool installation, configuration, maintenance, data synchronisation and migration are a part of a separate service, which requires a documented, well structured approach.
- Test Tool Installation - Most of the market leading vendors now have enterprise-size software testing tools. Hardware setup and software configuration prerequisites for a tools installation will often go beyond the usual system administrator’s responsibilities. Documentation provided with the tool will normally contain standard installation procedures and not list existing drawbacks and their workarounds, so there also needs to be a high level of tool awareness and setup experience. Testhouse can provide these skills.
- Test Tool Configuration - Different test projects will have specific needs that may not be easily met by the generic or unconfigured tools that vendors provide. Most toolsets now have extensibility and configuration features that will reshape the tool to meet your requirements. Many of them will also partial customisation, task automation or data synchronisation with other test suites via software add-ins. However, this can be complex and therefore may require some initial, specialist support.
- Test Tool Migration and Test Data Migration - In the rapidly changing IT environment, tool upgrade and migration issues are common, especially if the data has to be migrated or synchronised between tools from different vendors. Testing tool architecture and open interface functionality are often not well documented which makes it difficult for the end users to perform these activities on their own. Testhouse can help ensure your migration is successful which will allow you to upgrade to the latest version of your toolset and benefit from enhanced functionality.
Testhouse has relationships with all the leading test tool vendors and, combined with our well-equipped Test Labs, can provide thorough research, planning and implementation of all of the services mentioned above. Our skilled consultants will work closely with your technicians to confirm your requirements and transfer knowledge to ensure you get the most out of your chosen toolset.
