System Testing
The System Testing phase ensures the successful unification of integrated components to form a functional system and the subsequent marriage of the system under test to one or more other systems in a common environment.
System testing ensures system functionality and performance matches specification, it proves interoperability and architecture, ensures business critical processes perform to specification and reduces costs by removing possible system redevelopment costs at live stage
The coordination of Testing requires specific management and technical skills. SQA Consulting professionals have these skills and extensive experience in implementing the desired skill set within specific market areas. SQA Consulting has a documented methodology for Systems Testing for both Bespoke and Packaged Software development
Our approach begins with the business definition and requirements capture. The approach continues by evaluating, selecting and implementing the best testing tools to carry out end-to-end system testing to ensure performance meets requirements. This ensures the system and allied processes meet the initial business objectives.
Once a system has been tested to prove that it functions correctly on its own, it is necessary to test it working alongside other systems. Integration testing is used to check that the data flowing to the application from other applications is manipulated correctly and that the data passing back from the System Under Test to other applications is in the correct format for use by them.
Our resources would concentrate upon the functional areas of the system and its integration with other applications as part of this service offering, providing a manual testing solution and tailored reporting. This would provide 'real world' accuracy that all System requires.
SQA Consulting would also provide the rest of the coverage necessary for this type of testing including test automation, load, and stress and soak testing where applicable. The use of automated testing greatly reduces the time and overall cost of testing in this area. Working hand in hand with project managers, SQA Consulting automation techniques and methodologies provide effective, cost conscious results for System Testing.
