Software Testing at YMSLI

Testing at YMSLI ensures coverage of all the functional and non functional requirements of the client. It includes sound and cost effective testing of applications within the limitations of schedule, budget and available resources. Moreover a continuous approach to quality, initiated early in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), lowers the cost of maintaining the software significantly.

Software Testing is becoming an important parameter for the assured quality of the product and has become a vital part of the SDLC and a specialized function in itself. Growing complexity of today’s applications, modifications in technologies, combined increase in competitive pressure sky rocketing costs of application failure and downtime have captured the need for testing to new heights.

We have an independent Software Testing Team at YMSLI, having a strong vertical-based testing experience that ensures comprehensive and exhaustive testing of the product.

The testing team is involved in:

• Test Planning and creation of testing scenarios based on client’s    requirements
• Creation of test cases related to the identified scenarios
• Development of the scripts for automation testing
• Execution of the test cases and scripts
• Validate that the requirements are implemented appropriately and    software works as designed

Various tools used by testing team includes:

• Bug Tracking System for issue reporting including bug tracking
• Rational tools for regression and performance testing
• Subversion for Configuration Management

Software Testing Disciplines

• Structural (White Box) Testing – Database testing
• Functional (Black Box) Testing - Function’s Capability, Boundary    Value Testing, Regression testing –manually as well as using    Rational Automation Tools
• Testing Non-Functional Requirements-Usability testing, Performance    testing, Browser Compatibility testing
• User Acceptance testing

Business Value

• Defect prevention oriented approach leading to substantial reduction    in cost
• Near zero defect delivery leading increased customer satisfaction
• Delivering reduced time-to-market and costs at superior quality
• Automation tools reduce the testing cycle times while improving    the testing accuracy
• Early start of testing activity helped in reducing both the time and    cost for the Project while increasing the quality
