Here are some of the QA Solutions we offer at Agile:

Web Application Reliability Testing

Today, the Web is the platform - and increasingly, companies are betting their business on highly visible web-based applications running on private Intranets as well as the Internet. These applications must be reliable, be accessible using different browsers, and continue to consistently and accurately function as the application and technology evolves.

Agile's World Wide Web testing experts bring discipline, experience, and expert knowledge of top industry tools to design, automate, and execute test cases that validate a web application's functionality on an ongoing basis.

Web and Client/Server Solution Load/Stress Testing

Ecommerce and the use of Web applications across the Internet and within corporation Intranet environments is growing at a phenomenal rate. Agile World Wide Web and client/server solution testing experts provide the experience and top industry test tools to simulate real-life workloads and traffic to determine the scalability and the reliability of Internet and enterprise Web and client/server applications.

Software Testing and Test Management

We can provide your organization with a complete array of testing services ranging from test management to staff augmentation during periods of peak testing activities. Our consultants are trained in a wide range of operating systems, platforms, applications, and tools. This ensures minimal ramp-up time and maximum efficiency in testing your specific application.

Our testing services include the following:

Test Process Assessment/Improvement

Agile has gained considerable expertise in the area of test process assessment and improvement. Our expertise in software test processes and compliance with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Capability Maturity Model (CMM), ISO 9000, and IEEE have culminated in the development of a robust, proprietary assessment methodology. Our methodology combines the strong engineering foundation of the standards above with the added value of industry experience.

Our methodology is performed in three distinct phases:

1. Test Process Assessment: We review existing software testing processes and their impact on risk and quality. We then summarize our findings and present recommendations. This is just the first step in process improvement.

2. Test Process Development: In this stage, we take the assessment, create a Test Process Action Plan (TPAP) to improve the software testing process, and map that plan according to the resources available.

3. Test Process Implementation: We implement a TPAP on an actual pilot project; this process includes capturing parametric data and analyzing the results. The results are then fed back into the development/test process, providing continuous process improvement.

Test Automation

Agile is a leading provider of consulting services related to automated test tools. We have established partnerships with the leading tools providers for defect tracking, load testing, regression testing, and test management. Whether you need assistance in selecting and implementing an automated test tool, or have an existing tool inventory that is underutilized, Agile has the experience to help your organization increase efficiency, productivity and software quality.

Automation projects can be divided into two phases:

With the right tool, test automation can offer a dramatic increase in productivity. The first and most important step in the process is acquiring a tool that is suitable for your application, operating environment, and test team. An automation assessment allows us to evaluate your tool needs, provide an objective selection of the best tool(s), and install and configure the tool(s) for your application and environment.

Selecting the right test tool is only the beginning of a successful test automation effort. As with any tool, it is how you use it that counts. Although test automation tools can save time through unattended execution, it takes time to define, design, and automate tests. During the implementation phase, we will prepare the test environment, design the test cases, develop the automated scripts, and execute the tests. This process will result in a robust, reusable automated test environment.

Packaged Software Solutions

A business system's software component products must be integrated to provide users with a seamless homogeneous solution for daily tasks.

In a typical scenario, users query a database, track inventory, manage receivables, and generate contracts in a multi-tiered client/server environment. For this solution to function successfully, many component software applications must work together despite their (typically) independent development environments, schedules, and version updates.

Agile has many years of experience managing the integration, testing, and delivery of "software suites" -- packaged groupings of independent component products that work together in a consistent and verifiable manner over time to provide solutions to users needs. Agile will customize and implement a methodology to ensure the ongoing functionality of your business system as its underlying products, databases, middleware, and operating systems change independently over time.

Release Cycle Testing

Today's software products must be compliant with many technical standards defining hundreds of important quality requirements prior to shipment to customers. The Agile provides Release Cycle Testing for key base levels of software products and again verifies compliance prior to customer shipment.

Over the years, Agile has provided software developers with timely reports and recommendations identifying standards and quality compliance problems early in the development cycle and before the problems are found by customers. Early defect detection saves time, money, and customer goodwill -- maintenance costs and patches are reduced. More effort can go into enhancing a product and gaining market share rather than fixing it.

Your products can now benefit from the same fast, high quality, and informative release cycle testing process that other top companies use. In addition, our process can be extended to include any corporate or industry-specific requirements that are important to your customers.
