Testing

Compliance mandates, application complexity, distributed development and testing environments are driving the testing business today. In this scenario, it is very important for the product companies to validate their application to make sure it meets the business needs when it goes live. Since testing and validations of application is time-consuming, companies are outsourcing their testing function as it enables them to concentrate on core activities while software testing experts handle the work efficiently, ensuring quality results.

Test automation has been proved important in improving product quality and reducing the cycle time and cost for product releases on long term.

Testing Experience
CloneSkills has been providing testing support to global clients for over a decade, with over 10,000 person months of testing experience, successfully delivered via an effective onsite-offshore model. We have an established robust infrastructure for onsite-offshore delivery of our projects through Global Network Operations Center

Testing Services
Functionality Testing - Ensures that the system/application under test meets expected functional requirements.
 
Regression Testing - Re-testing after fixes or modifications of the software or its environment with a focus on automated testing.

Non-Functional Testing
Performance/Load Testing - Performance/Load testing is carried out to determine how the application/system behaves under anticipated or varying levels of load. These tests would also help in determining the breaking point of the application. The resultant test data shall also be used to determine the load at which the system's performance begins to significantly degrade.

Stress Testing - Stress tests is executed to determine how the system/application behaves under peak load. This data shall be then analyzed to determine the overall health of the system and to identify the bottlenecks.

Internationalization (I18N) - Ensures that the hardware, software, portal, or internal applications are ready for release into global/regional market.

Usability - Testing for consistency in user interface and ensuring user friendliness.

Accessibility - Testing for consistency in user interface and ensuring user friendliness for all segments of population including partially disabled people.

Interoperability/Compatibility - Cross product/cross-platform testing ensures that the application runs as expected in different environments.

Test Automation
Test automation is the key to implement faster test cycles and increase test reliability. The Architects and Business Analysts at CloneSkills work in tandem with the Test Managers to determine and define the automation requirements. Thus, they help you to reach an optimum plan for automating test cases driven by your business needs. You can also retain the responsibility of running the tests and evaluating the results while we create the automation test framework and develop the test cases. This is preferred approach by some, as it not only helps reduce costs and minimize the disruption to your current staffing and budgets, but also accelerates the transition from manual to automated tasks.

Integrated Test Management Framework
Our Integrated test management framework addresses overall business value to provide up-to-date status of testing performed across divergent tools. This framework reduces cost of procuring test management tools in case of customers using heterogeneous tools from different vendors.
;
Functional Test Automation Framework
This framework facilitates Testers and business people by providing method for creating intelligent, maintainable tests which can be executed manually or automatically. The key benefit of this framework is that it will be easier to maintain and perpetuate providing the greatest saving potential for long-term success.
