ApTest Services
Each ApTest project is unique. Our process entails evaluating the
requirements of each new project, defining an agreed plan
for solving these needs, and providing the right team and resources
to implement this solution.
Within these projects some or all of the following services may be provided.
Testing requirements vary substantially based on target market,
implementation technologies used, development practices, and alike. A
variety of test processes are available to help meet these requirements,
some more applicable to a given project than others.
We're knowledgeable about most contemporary testing methods and can
recommend options for defined, repeatable, well managed
test procedures tailored to your requirements. We can also supply
implementation resources for installing new test methods for your
organization.
ApTest can work from existing test specifications and plans,
or develop test plans for implementation on an outsourced or in-house basis:
-
A Test Plan is a detailed project plan for testing, covering the scope
of testing, the methodology to be used, the tasks to
be performed, resources, schedules, risks, and dependencies. A Test Plan is
developed prior to the implementation of a project to provide a well defined
and understood project roadmap.
-
A Test Specification defines exactly what tests will be performed and what
their scope and objectives will be. A Test Specification is produced as
the first step in implementing a Test Plan, prior to the onset of
manual testing and/or automated test suite development. It provides a
repeatable, comprehensive definition of a testing campaign
ApTest performs manual QA testing cycles, on either a standalone basis or as
a prelude to the development of an automated test suite. Testing can address
black box testing of installation, compatibility (OSs, Browsers, etc.),
functionality, and reliability, as well as white box testing. Manual
test campaigns follow a Test Plan and Test Specification, provided by
the client or developed by ApTest as part of the project.
Using our ApTest Manager test management tool you will
have complete, real-time access over the WWW to the development and
execution of your tests. This allows you to view and supervise the work being
done on your project during every phase from start to finish.
ApTest's wide experience with software products, testing methods, and automated
test development tools allows us to efficiently evaluate your application
and recommend the types of testing needed and the test development tools
that best fit your needs.
We work with multiple test tool vendors, allowing us to provide
informed, objective advice on test tool selection. Our recommendations
can include a hands-on inspection of your products, including tests
of the fit between your application and different tool sets.
We also distribute products from Mercury Interactive and Segue Software, providing a single point of service for your testing needs.
Implementation of a test suite proceeds following a Test Plan and Test
Specification. ApTest employs experienced software developers with
substantial automated test suite development expertise to ensure a
reliable product is produced according to the schedule and budgets
agreed at the start of the project.
Our development projects are usually performed at ApTest's facilities
in Silicon Valley California and Minneapolis, Minnesota,
or remotely over the Internet.
ApTest can provide training on a variety of aspects of QA testing,
test automation and test development tools. This training can occur
prior to or during test development, or as part of a final technology transfer
phase of an outsourced testing project.
