Testing and quality assurance

Testing is a crucial step in any systems-development project. Incomplete testing that leads to a failure in a production environment, causes unnecessary risk to the business. If the system doesn't work properly you could damage your brand, lose revenue, or inadvertently send customers to competitors.

In the course of thousands of projects in industries where the cost of failure is exceptionally high, such as the healthcare and banking sectors, Exigen Services has gained a great deal of experience in software testing and quality assurance. We employ more than 250 quality engineers around the globe, a significant portion of which have certifications from well-respected authorities such as ISTQB, or testing tools ISV such as HP Quality Assurance. In 2008, The “Black Book of Outsourcing” rated Exigen Services as a #1 outsourcing vendor for software testing and quality assurance.

Our approach is to introduce qualified test engineers to the SDLC as soon as possible. Gaining a solid understanding of the business needs the system should satisfy allows our test engineers to find discrepancies between the specifications and software behavior, as well as identify fundamental misalignments between the business processes and the software developed. Exigen Services test engineers actively communicate with the development team and other project stakeholders while remaining independent as quality assessors. Their deliverables are not limited to pure defect lists, but also includes carefully developed metrics, both on the project-level (defect containment effectiveness, mean time to defect resolution, etc) and the product level (defect density, test automation coverage, etc).

Besides utilizing testing expertise as a part of regular software development services, we are successfully providing it as a separate offerings for many of our customers. It includes (but not limited to):

• Manual and automated functional testing
• Performance and load testing
• Application security testing
• Usability testing

Exigen Services thorough testing approach will give you the confidence that your system will satisfy your business requirements.
