Software Testing is an extremely crucial phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and developers today, face most demanding customers who expect 100% flawless functioning of the applications in use. In other words, your product should be free from technical anomalies – ensuring lesser number of complaints, greater customer satisfaction and optimum retention rates. A well-tested application, product or service is, therefore, a necessity to ensure customer satisfaction.

The Software Testing Division of Aithent employs a full range of sophisticated software compatibility testing methods to make sure that we deliver only top quality solutions to our customers and conform to the most rigid standards of software quality assurance (SQA).

• Usability Testing: Visitors to your company’s web site may have a wide range of Internet experience and, consequently, have different expectations which must be fulfilled to win them over. While experienced users look for implementation of industry norms, newcomers need guidance to surf through the unfamiliar web environment. Failure to cater to such expectations is likely to result in lost sales, as visitors are unable to locate the information they were looking for or unable to complete transactions.
  Usability testing starts by identifying specific demographic groups within the target audience, taking into account their age, profession, cultural background, level of internet exposure and many other relevant factors. At Aithent, we leverage our experience and expertise to evaluate web sites; employ best industry practices to identify demographic profiles of users; and ensure optimum usability. We will provide a detailed analysis of usability issues, make recommendations and come up with solutions for each problem.
• Compatibility Testing: Most organizations do not have adequate time or resources to subject an application or a web site to the most rigorous compatibility testing. It is, however, essential, as applications and web sites are expected to operate in myriad environments. Interoperability testing must be undertaken as well, with the range of applications your software/web site may have to co-exist with, or with which it may have to interface.
  Our software library, on the other hand, includes most popular operating systems, browsers, productivity suites, email clients and other software applications. Aithent's expertise in building different testing environments indicates that we are able to perform such tasks more efficiently than in-house testing teams while providing immediate time and cost benefits.
• Migration Testing: This testing is performed to ensure the integrity of data when a data set is migrated from one database to another, or when a database is upgraded to a higher version.
• Server-Level Testing: To ensure integration and flow of data in complex architectures with different layers of servers, server-level testing is performed.
• Verification Testing: Testing is performed at the system level to ensure the smooth functioning of an application before build release in a production environment.
• Automated Testing: Experience with a variety of testing tools, Aithent helps customers automate their test cases and check the performance of the application by using testing tools of their preference.
• White Box Testing: At Aithent, different White Box Testing tools like Junit, Nunit are used at the Unit level
• User Acceptance Testing: User Acceptance Testing (UAT) refers to the test procedures which lead to formal 'acceptance' of new or changed systems. UAT is a critical phase of any project and requires significant participation of 'End Users'. An Acceptance Test Plan is also developed detailing the means by which 'Acceptance' will be achieved. The final part of the UAT can also include a parallel run to compare the new system against the current one.
  The UAT Plan will vary from system to system but, in general, the testing should be planned in order to provide realistic and adequate exposure. The testing can be based upon User Requirements Specifications to which the system should conform. However, problems will continue to arise and it is important to determine what will be the expected and required responses from various parties concerned including Users, Project Team and Vendors.
