Software Testing - List of Services

The Quality Assurance services offered by Shasta QA include a full spectrum of black-box and white-box testing strategies. Our experience with many third-party testing tools and specialty in-house test applications allow us to be more productive through automation.

While we have the expertise to create test scripts and use automation tools, our engineers also have the focus, dedication, and QA mind-set that are required to effectively handle the demands of repetitive black box testing.

Shasta QA can provide any of our services directly, or we can mentor your in-house staff in these areas.

Functional

Performing black- or white-box testing against specified application functionality ensures that your software performs to your design specifications.

System

Verifying the complete system as a whole verifies that your user's end-to-end experience is a smooth one.

Automated Testing

Automating recurring functional regression can be a valuable tool for streamlining your test efforts.

API

The Application Programming Interface is the bridge between your developers and the functionality they want to use. API testing acts as a double-check for your programming work.

Website & Web Applications

Typical tests for websites and web applications include functional, navigation, image, link checking, and usability. A positive user experience can be crucial to ensuring visitors become repeat users.

Compatibility

Testing software behavior under different browsers, operating systems, and hardware configurations can help provide all users with a satisfactory experience.

Regression

Revisiting legacy tests ensures that new functionality and bug fixes don't break older functionality.

Stress

Pushing applications and systems to their functional limits can provide benchmarks for future scalability.

Performance

Determining speed of response, time to process, and data throughput.

Installation

Validating the installation, upgrading/patching, and removal of software.

Integration

Testing software modules in combination can identify conflicts between components.

Interoperability

Making sure that your software works well with other applications on the system.

Product Collateral Testing

In addition to testing software, Shasta QA can perform a quality check on other product-related collateral such as CD-ROM's, FTP files, User and Administration manuals, online help, packaging materials, and other final products of the development lifecycle.
