Our approach to software testing
UMS integrates software testing with all areas in the organisation that are active participants within the development lifecycle. Software testing is formulated on the basis of validation and verification at each step of the development lifecycle hence working closely together with all participants of the development lifecycle is a critical success factor to the quality of testing. Effective test methodologies are integrated into the SDLC/ delivery lifecycle to ensure that testing is included at each phase thereby optimising testing time within the SDLC and minimising the impact of defects to the project in terms of quality, risk and time.The Testing methodology illustrates the core testing activities that form part of an effective test framework including the critical points of integration with various areas within the development cycle.
Key Conclusions derived from this framework include:
- The process of verification and validation must be built in at each stage of the SDLC
- Testing must begin earlier in the SDLC to optimise testing time within the SDLC
- Integration promotes healthier communication , knowledge sharing and higher quality of testing
UMS uses the Framework of the SQA Lifecycle as test methodology for the application of software testing. It includes core testing activities that are aligned to best practices and is sequenced accordingly to ensure optimal integration to the SDLC. It optimises testing time within the SDLC by ensuring that core testing activities are performed early in the SDLC and is based on extensive research of international testing standards and best practices.
Methodologies
UMS offers testing services to address wide ranging client requirements from understanding business requirements to optimizing quality and performance using the following software testing methodologies:
Manual Testing
Manual testing is done when software is manually tested without using any automated tool or any script. UMS Testers take over the role of an end user and test the Software to identify any un-expected behaviour or bug. UMS Testers use test plans, test cases or test scenarios to test the software to ensure the completeness of testing.Functional Testing
Functional Testing is the type of testing done against the business requirements of application. It involves the complete integration system to evaluate the system’s compliance with its specified requirements.Usability Testing
Software testers, test whether the application or the product built is user-friendly or not. Usability testing also reveals whether users feel comfortable with your application or Web site according to different parameters – the flow, navigation and layout, speed and content - especially in comparison to prior or similar applications.User Acceptance Testing
User acceptance testing is a testing methodology where the clients are involved in testing the product to validate the product against their requirements. During User Acceptance Testing, actual software users test the software to make sure it can handle required tasks in real-world scenarios, according to specifications.Performance Testing
Performance testing is a non-functional testing technique performed to determine the system parameters in terms of responsiveness and stability under various workload. Performance testing measures the quality attributes of the system, such as scalability, reliability and resource usage.System Integration Testing
System integration testing is a high-level software testing process in which testers verify that all related systems maintain data integrity and can operate in coordination with other systems in the same environment. The testing process ensures that all subcomponents are integrated successfully to provide expected results.![testing](http://www.umservices.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/testing.png)
