How Q4U Software Technologies add value to you?

“Validness of test cases”
"Are the test cases adequate?"
"We are not sure our software product is ready for release?"
"How much testing is sufficient?"
"We cannot invest in additional resources."
"We have invested in testing tool, but we are not sure the results are optimized."

Most companies are troubled by the above questions. We not only have answers for the above questions, but time tested and proven solution! We strongly believe in engineering tests and we apply formal techniques to design test cases to detect bugs. Our test strategy is goal-driven - that focus on pattern of possible defect types, how and when these may be detected cost effectively.

'Quality' cannot be, guaranteed if formal techniques structured process, appropriate automation and critical measurements are not in place.

Engineering tests is all about knowing what types of defects may be probable in a given system, what technique may uncover cost effectively, at what stage of the SDLC to apply and how to measure quality objectively.

We apply specification-based techniques that result in scenarios/cases and traced to requirements and to potential defects. Our test process is incremental - use objective metrics to assess product quality index, process effectiveness, and test progress. Finally, our approach to test automation is framework based and business-driven to maximize the ROI for our customers.

Our techniques are tried and tested over the years, in various projects across range of business domains. We have seen great success in using engineering techniques that are deployed, pragmatically over different projects and customers. Defect escapes are the true measure of quality of testing. Our defect escapes have been low!

Our test engineering model guarantee quality by use of techniques for test design, goal driven test strategy, objective measures for quality and progress tracking and framework based test automation architecture. In addition, backed up by a team that is creative and highly passionate about the work they do.

Objectives of testing as a discipline

Software testing is an essential and integral part of software development and runs parallel with the development activity to ensure that the product released is of highest quality. Software testing is not an ad-hoc process! There is science and engineering behind testing techniques.

It is NOT merely about learning tools, manual or automated testing. It is about understanding the concepts, techniques, process, and tools to enable you to discover defects effectively, and ensuring quality.


A GOOD test engineer should:


Be well-versed with test terminologies.

Be skilled in application of test techniques.

Understand the scope of different levels of testing.

Know how to conduct different types of tests.

Understand the process of testing.

Understand effective use of tools.

Know how to apply metrics and interpret them.

At Q4U Software Technologies, the emphasis is on laying this strong foundation in test engineering - Techniques, Disciplined process, Test types, and Tools - Our objective is to transform talented engineers into industry-ready test professionals.

Load / Stress / Performance / Scalability testing, and others like Volume testing, Reliability testing and assessment, Installation testing, Usability testing, Configuration / compatibility testing, Internalization testing.

Risk Analysis

The risk is measured by applying Risk analysis techniques for duration / low budget / low resources project, risk can be deduced by simply: -

Measuring Test Coverage.
Number of test cycles.
Number of high priority bugs.
