Get Expert GuidanceDigital Transformation Depends on Software Performance
Software testing is essential in the development of modern technology solutions, it can provide your team with the peace of mind that whatever you release into the ecosystem is perfect from the first time to every iteration after.
From ensuring that your application or SAAS solution can cope with a huge concurrent user base, to verifying that software works correctly on a wide range of different platforms, browsers, and devices, keeping a stringent QA and testing framework, allows you to better serve clients and compete effectively. What’s the solution? Prolifics’ QA & Software Testing services.
Key Elements Of QA & Testing Services
Cybersecurity Testing
Although often used as a blanket term, Security Testing is actually a combination of standalone services, including Code Scanning, Vulnerability Assessments, Penetration Testing, Risk Management, and Data Encryption.
Even in businesses with dedicated IT security officers, the introduction of new code / features, apps, software integrations and web-facing applications bring a multitude of risks to be mitigated. The more fast-moving your business, the greater the risks, and the more vital Security Testing becomes. Once applications are released for enterprise or public use, it quickly becomes apparent if security has been made a priority during development or not.
Application Testing
Security flaws in applications are common and can have devastating consequences if left unchecked, but can also be significantly more expensive to fix if captured later in the lifecycle, prior to release. Application vulnerabilities are regularly cited as the most popular for hacks and data breaches, so it is worth testing early, to remove as many as possible.
Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing is one of our core Security Testing services. It involves our consultants using tools and manual techniques to identify vulnerabilities, in much the same way that hackers do.
Known vulnerabilities in system components, infrastructure and networks are identified, based on configuration audits. We issue comprehensive reports on completion of a test, so that identified issues can be fixed and systems can remain secure.
Test Automation
Test automation is a vital part of the software development and delivery process and is a priority for business stakeholders. The ability for organisations to run automated tests allows software to be delivered rapidly, with confidence, making automation an important part of the lifecycle. Prolifics’ Automation Centre of Excellence have specialist teams aligned to leading tools and technologies, as well as our own IP and frameworks, developed to provide enhanced value and speed of delivery to our clients.

Accelerators Testing
Working with our colleagues across the Prolifics group, we’ve invested heavily in research to develop a set of testing Accelerators that genuinely set us apart from our competitors.
Our Accelerators have automated the entire software testing lifecycle in Manual, Functional, Automated, Performance and Security Testing. Through their use we can offer improvements in test design, management, data management, execution, automation and validation, as well as improved delivery of real-time analytics and dashboards.
Data-Driven Testing
Data-driven testing involves the use of data external to the system to extend your automated test cases. Data is usually stored separately in a spreadsheet format or a table and is fed into the test cases.
Data-driven testing is effective because often testers have multiple sets of data when testing and having to develop a new test for each set of data is time-consuming and a wastage of resources.
Data-driven testing allows for the same test to be used for multiple sets of data, offering consistency of results, and reduced investment of time and resources. Data-driven tests facilitate reusability of code, can be done in any phase of the software development phase, and changes to the script do not affect the test data.
Performance Testing
Software slowdowns, even collapse can mean the end of your user engagement. We test and monitor your software under stress. This will tell you about the reliability, stability, response time, and scalability of your system.
Performance testing and load testing, if done right, can remove obstacles before they happen.
Performance Engineering
Performance Engineering enables Performance Testing to be run as a part of Continuous Deployment and DevOps pipelines, allowing early visibility and regular comparison against a baseline.
Performance / load tests are usually performed once applications have been through a QA cycle and often just prior to deployment, which has always been well suited to waterfall developments or Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) implementations. In today’s world, for applications in development this approach does not slot into the DevOps model of continuous development / test / release and can lead to significant costs when performance issues are identified late in the cycle. Just as with functional issues, the longer they are left unresolved, the more embedded they become and the more complex and costly they are to fix.
Shift-Left Testing
Performance Engineering enables a shift-left approach to load testing, which encourages the creation of a smaller, more agile test pack, run regularly and maintained alongside the application as it evolves. Integrating performance tests into the release cycle allows regular load tests to be run automatically, as a part of an automated regression pack, in a similar way to automated tests run at unit and system levels.
A Performance engineering approach can not only identify issues at the component level as applications are built, but also acts as the building blocks for end to end, user journey focused load testing, on complete applications on infrastructure comparable with production.
Functional Testing
Functional testing is seeks to establish whether your application features work as per the software requirements. Each function is compared to the corresponding requirement to ascertain whether its output is consistent with the end user’s expectations.
The testing is done by providing sample inputs, capturing resulting outputs, and verifying that actual outputs are the same as expected outputs. At the end of functional testing, you should have software that has a coherent user interface, a consistent API, and seamlessly integrates with business processes.

At the end of functional testing, you should have software that has a coherent user interface, a consistent API, and seamlessly integrates with business processes.
Integration Testing
System Integration Testing (SIT) is a vital part of any good test strategy. A pre-SIT round is generally established by the software provider before clients run their own SIT test cases.
When developing, implementing, or integrating new applications, websites, or mobile apps, you want to do so with confidence they’ll work as designed.
With so many variables of operating systems, browsers, hardware, software, architecture, customisations, and devices, not to mention keeping track of APIs and data feeds, there are many ways to get caught out.
As specialists, we know the importance of quickly providing assurances that your software, responsive websites, mobile apps and more, function correctly across all target platforms, including the most popular mobile devices, browsers, and operating systems.
UAT- User Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is a vital part of the software development lifecycle, whether systems are developed internally or purchased off the shelf with bespoke elements and interfaces.
Oftentimes, software developers have their own understanding of your requirements. However, it is also possible that some requirements were not communicated to them, so UAT helps to make sure that the expectations of end users are met above all.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is one of the final stages in the testing cycle, whether systems are developed internally or purchased off the shelf with bespoke elements and interfaces.
