Functional Testing

 

It’s great that your product is new and cool, but does it actually work? From basic commands to clean audio and video, from graphics to grammar, everything must look and function perfectly.

 

 

Perhaps your development team tells you that the product is stable – that it functions perfectly and according to specifications. They tell you they are confident because they tested it themselves. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security. Whereas your development team has the best of intentions, history has demonstrated that many dev teams are just too close to their products to perform objective and effective quality assurance coverage. You owe it to yourself to hire a competent, reliable and independent quality assurance firm to lend a fresh pair of eyes to the project.

 

 

Bring Code Q on board and we will clearly demonstrate a level of professionalism and QA competence that will result in the discovery of functionality issues that you never knew existed. We can track them using our own proprietary, secure, online bug tracking tool and give all members of your dev team access. Alternatively, we are happy to use your existing bug tracking application to track issues. Our test engineers are well-schooled in more than a dozen bug-tracking applications.

 

 

Finally, it is extremely important to note that whereas many QA labs are just a ‘point-and-click house’, we are far from it. Code Q is a strategic product development partner that is completely involved in every aspect of your project and committed to testing every last detail no matter how small. We understand and appreciate the fact that your business reputation is at stake.

 

 

Code Q’s complete suite of manual and automated functional testing services, delivered throughout the Software Development Life Cycle, guarantee software applications will provide bug-free operation in compliance with all relevant functional requirements.

 

 

Requirements analysis

 

To ensure the best possible project start, and to establish a productive testing environment, Code Q’s functional testing team works closely with clients to understand project goals, structure and deliverables.

 

Manual and automated test execution

 

After project requirements are transformed into test cases, the active testing phase begins. To expedite the process of detecting defects, Code Q frequently turns to the valuable practice of incorporating automated testing.

 

Exploratory testing

 

A great way to achieve broader coverage of the application’s functional behavior is to employ exploratory testing. At Code Q, we perform this testing as a non-script-based, intellectually rich investigation running in parallel with pre-defined script-based testing activities.

 

Reporting and bug tracking

 

Test results are duly interpreted to understand the issues and bugs that are causing them, to determine their severity, and to establish the priority of fixes. Each bug status is thoroughly documented and tracked throughout the defect life cycle.

 

Regression testing

 

An indispensable part of functional testing, regression testing ensures the fixes made to the software application have not adversely affected its key functional areas.

 

Application types

 

Code Q has extensive experience in functional testing of almost every type of software. Our core expertise areas are:

 

• Web applications, including enterprise Web

• Mobile applications and distributed systems with mobile elements

• Desktop applications

• System utilities and applications

 

Testing Depth

 

We successfully work at every testing level — from unit testing to systems integration — thus securing all-around quality control in each critical area of software development and implementation.
