Automated Testing

Automating software testing can significantly reduce the effort required for adequate testing, or significantly increase the testing which can be done in limited time. This saves system resources and costly man-hours. Automation allows testing at the 'touch of a button' with tests run overnight when machines would otherwise be idle. Automated tests are repeatable, using exactly the same inputs in the same sequence time and again, something that cannot be guaranteed with manual testing. Automated testing enables even the smallest of maintenance changes to be fully tested with minimal effort. Intrinsica can provide a fully customised solution using scripting languages, open source or commercial tools that can greatly improve the ROI whilst mitigating the pitfalls of automation.

Functional and System Testing

Intrinsica can refine your requirements and objectives and create test cases & specifications using test case management tools such as TestLink. This can be achieved through implementation of standards: V-model, Waterfall model, Rational Unified Process, Agile etc. as well as existing client processes.

Performance Stress and Load Testing

The purpose of stress testing is to identify and isolate performance bottlenecks under load. Decreasing or eliminating these bottlenecks allows you to meet or exceed anticipated requirements. Once Identified bottlenecks can be mitigated to help minimise end user response times and ultimately provide a better user experience.

Usability Testing

Usability testing measures how easily a system may be used, the accessibility of its functions to a user and the many other factors which influence people's perceptions of the system. Usability is key in design priorities and success metrics, especially with internet based products and services.

Test Tool Evaluation and Implementation

The selection of the best testing tool for a particular development environment is a critical success factor for the testing activities. A testing tool should be considered based on the test objectives. As a general guideline, one must investigate the appropriateness of a testing tool when the manual process is inadequate. There are numerous testing tools, each with specific capabilities and test objectives. In order to gain benefits from testing tools, careful thought must be given for which tests you want to use tools and to the tool being chosen. One of the chief concerns while choosing a testing tool is the cost of the tool itself. Many people look to the Open Source community for good solutions. When trying to choose Open Source test tools, several factors may be considered, such as how active the development is, the support for the tool, the quality of the documentation, etc. Intrinsica will impartially evaluate your test tool requirements.
