Quality Assurance is one of the key focus areas and once a solution is developed, our Software Testing Team steps in to perform the rigorous rituals, required to deliver a robust, flawless product/application. Software testing at Aithent is performed at several points in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), as an application is constructed component by component into a functioning system. Our qualified testers carry out intense testing for bugs and flaws and fix the same - all within the strictest time frame.
From Project Analysis through to Design, Development, Testing and Implementation - Aithent ensures international quality standards at every phase and evolves ground-breaking methods to enhance the existing procedures and improve productivity. We prepare a comprehensive test plan for each project, stating the objectives and strategies to be used for specifications and quality validation. Once documented, the testing guidelines are diligently followed to test all components and ensure total conformity to customer requirements. Aithent follows a rigorous testing methodology and best-of-the-breed testing techniques such as White Box, Black Box and Load/Stress testing.

After receiving the go-ahead from the quality assurance team, the project is delivered to customer.
