We provide software and system testing in the two key areas: functional and performance testing.

Performance profiling

With capacity increasing continuously, it is easy to believe you will never have an issue delivering your web solution. But if you already think your server is under stress and is underperforming, we can tell you for certain by testing it.

We can demonstrate how your web site will behave when subjected to hundreds or even thousands of users simultaneously accessing it. We can also test your database to ensure it will cope with a large volume of transactions.

Using the latest profiling tools, we can benchmark your website before it is up and running, to allow for any usability-sapping performance issues to be identified and fixed. It's nice to know it just works when live.

Web site statistics - use them to your customers' advantage!

By recording consecutive months' worth of data, we can accurately forecast the total amount of data you can expect to transfer in future months, with a projected number of users. To further help with capacity planning, we can also provide experienced system administrators who can be at hand during critical periods.

With further analysis, we can also determine if your users experience any drop off in speed during busy periods, and provide a limited-performance or denial of service mitigation strategy for upcoming marketing initiatives.

Functional testing

Functional testing - a collection of approaches for validating a system, is a primary method for asserting fitness for purpose. Whether you are a developer, creating a solution for one client or for general release, or you are a customer, receiving a solution built specifically for you, we can provide the advice and manpower to fully qualify its functionality.

An example of simple functional testing is link checking on your web site. If your site has a link tag that points to a non-existing page, we can find, report and fix it.

Functional testing applies not only to web sites. We have a history of providing quality assurance services and use key testing methods in the production of our clients' solutions.
