Testing Centre
When your project deadline is looming and the complexities of systems delivery are keeping your team more than occupied, system testing often takes a back seat. Still, you can't get away from the fact that it is imperative that systems are thoroughly tested prior to implementation. How do you give testing the attention it demands in the midst of everything else that you have to do?
The overall success or failure of any IT project largely depends on your ability to ensure system quality prior to its release to users. What's more, the level of objectivity necessary for thorough testing can be compromised when the development team is also responsible for testing its own systems. The development team already knows how the systems should work, and may not identify where the systems do not correspond with the requirements of the business users.
Fujitsu's Testing Centre can provide independent experts to ensure that your system testing requirements are met in a timely, effective and comprehensive manner. We will approach your organisation's IT system environment with an individualised strategy, and implement rigorous system testing procedures for targeted test types, such as:
- System testing - identifying system errors, ensuring performance, integrity and in-built warnings
- Systems integration testing - testing that functions work successfully together
- User acceptance testing - validation of your system requirements
- Regression testing - ensuring that the changes made to a system have not changed the existing functionality
- Performance testing - testing of speed and response times.
Five critical questions
- Does your organisation have the capability to plan, execute and validate the testing of your next mission critical system?
- How much does it cost you to fix a bug detected once a system is in production compared to when it is in test?
- What level of predictability do you have with your current testing arrangements?
- How complete is your regression-testing suite? Can you afford not to have one?
- Do you want the people that developed your system to also test it?
