Hoch Technologies team works to provide a complete range of QA and testing services
like
Strategy definition for testing and process automation
High-level test plans and design strategy
Detailed test plans, test cases and test scripts
Test Execution
Managing product quality along with cost and schedule is one of the most important
challenges facing software development organizations today. Growing complexity of
underlying domains, multitudes of platforms to be supported and ever reducing release
cycles are making the quality assurance challenge even more complicated. Hoch Technologies
Services helps organizations achieve their quality imperatives through a focus on
people, processes, tools and methodology.
Hoch Technologies has a wide range of expertise in QA, Test, and QA Automation.
Hoch Technologies is staffed with QA/Test/Usability professionals, supported by
our Quality Assurance Center of Excellence, that are well equipped execute manual/automated
tests
Unit Testing of code created by a developer
Integration Testing of the interactions between modules. Ensure the combined execution
of module code matches the design specification
System Testing of application/product against identified engineering parameters.
Includes testing functionality, performance, load, stress, usability,
supportability, recovery, compatibility, volume, data integrity and security
Regression Testing of fixed defects (includes functional regression tests)
Acceptance Testing
Test Script Creation
Test Result Documentation
Performance, Scalability and Reliability (PSR) Testing
Test Scripts Creation
A separate, independent and complete environment will be set up with servers,
network and the machines executing the tests as appropriate. Test Scripts are generated
with a load testing tool based on the test scenarios. The Test engineer will smoke
test the scripts to verify that they work under light load prior to the scheduled
test date.
The following is a partial list of steps used in generating/upgrading the test scripts:
Adding appropriate verification checkpoints to check if the intended text or image
is displayed after each script action.
Using the transaction statements to obtain transaction timings for each screen in
the GUI.
Parameterize the hard-coded URLs, user id, passwords and other variable to simulate
use of different data during a run.
Adding the display values to aid debugging.
Using theif/else or loop logic to check results, take an appropriate action and
exit the script as appropriate.
Adding statements to capture data in one screen for use in another.This may be needed
to prevent chronic "script time- out" errors.
Adding appropriate statements to call functions in external run libraries to save
and retrieve data from an in-memory Virtual Table Server.
The application under test will be installed on the specified test environment.
Installation tests are carried out to test the installation and configuration
of the application before execution of the main performance test to ensure right
build is installed and is functional. The test team will execute the test
scripts with the specified tool and in the specified test environment. Also related
metrics will be collected.
Reporting and Analysis
Once the test execution is completed, metrics like response time, throughput, bytes
sent/received rate, requests per second etc. are analyzed to identify the performance
of the application and the extent of load the application can withstand. The performance
issues will be analyzed based on the set performance goals of the application in
the case of performance testing. The performance results are compiled in the case
of benchmark testing.
