QUALITY ENGINEERING

QA Methodologies and Best Practices

Software quality assurance is a process that certifies a software application for its QUALITY during the whole software application development phase.

 

From web application to web services to mobile applications to massive SaaS based solutions, we have tested them all.

 

We are experts in defining and implementing QA best practices, which involves every stage of a software life cycle.

QA Best Practices

Agile Methodology

Agile methodology is a practice that promotes continuous iterations of development and testing throughout software development lifecycle of the project. Both development and testing activities are concurrent unlike the Waterfall model.

CI / CD Pipeline

Using Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment, the development teams have adapted to the shortened delivery cycles by embracing automation across their software delivery pipelines.

AI in Testing

We believe that the most important solution to overcome increasing QA and Testing challenges will be the emerging introduction of machine-based intelligence.

Manual Testing

Manual testing includes testing a software manually, i.e., without using any automated tool or any script. In this type, the tester takes over the role of an end-user and tests the software to identify any unexpected behavior or bug.

 

There is no better tester than a human eye. However, it requires experience in software development to find bugs of the rarest and the trickiest use cases. Admittedly its a tough process. A good test management environment on the other hand makes this process quite simple.

 

We here at UprisingHub have many years of experience in developing manual test management environments to support quality assurance and bug tracking processes.

Types of Manual Testing

System Testing

System testing is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system’s compliance with its specified requirements. System testing falls within the scope of black-box testing, without the knowledge of inner design of code or logic.

Integration Testing

Integration testing is a phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. The outcome of integration testing is an integrated system ready for system testing.

Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing is an approach to software testing that is described as simultaneous learning, test design and test execution. While the software is being tested, the tester learns things that together with experience and creativity generates new good tests to run.

Our Expertise

• We are experts in defining and managing manual testing processes at every stage

• We are experts in creating goal specific test environment for manual testing

• Every environment we develop has robust bug reporting and notification features

• We have immense experience in manual testing and help companies in meeting their test goals

  Test Automation

Automated testing is necessary for those applications that have very aggressive development cycles and have lots of inter-connected process workflows. Test automation is critical for continuous delivery and continuous testing.

 

From testing tool selection to test environment development, automation test management requires special skills that only comes after years of experience. And we here at UprisingHub are very experienced.

Types of Test Automation

CLI Automation

CLI automation involves testing the command line interface applications, which either run as a background or a foreground process. Automation capabilities also involve the interactions between the CLI applications on Linux or UNIX OS and UI running on the same OS or on Windows OS.

API Testing

API test automation involves directly testing at the API layer, which could either be a web-service or a jar/sdk. It is crucial for in environments where there are frequent changes commonly used with Agile software development and DevOps.

Mobile Automation

Application software developed for handheld devices is tested for all functionality, usability, consistency, performance, and security testing. This could be performed manually or by automated tools using emulators, simulators or real devices.

Our Expertise

• We are expert Technology Evangelists with many years of experience in developing Test Environments
• From developing test Automation scripts, integrating with CI/CD pipelines, executing the tests on parallel environments and robust integrated reporting, we are an expert
• We help create Automation Plan, suggest appropriate type of automation, guide in selecting the right automation tool, and in building custom solutions and frameworks were needed

   Performance Testing

Performance testing involves tests that measures various parameters like response time, CPU and memory utilization amongst others, and evaluates the qualitative attributes such as reliability, scalability and interoperability of the system. Performance Testing also compares two or more devices or programs in regard of speed, data transfer rate, bandwidth, efficiency, throughput and reliability.

 

In today’s digital age, end users expect their applications to be fast, easy-to-use, and above all work in all conditions. With growing competition in digital space and crowding of app markets, its imperative for application developers to know the limits of their applications and plan a strategy for their application services in case those limits are reached.

Types of Performance Testing

Stress Testing

Stress testing pushes your application to the extreme which makes your component robust, efficient and help determining thresholds.

Volume Testing

In volume testing, the system is tested with a certain amount of data, which is set to some realistic or pre-agreed level.

Endurance Testing

Endurance testing, also known as Soak testing, measures the system’s steadiness and reliability by placing it under load for long period. This helps in exposing problems like memory leaks.

Our Expertise

• Ensuring high end user experiences and reduce the response time by fixing available defects.
• Timely visual reports, logs and video in order to achieve testing goals.
• Testing on real user experiences, hence real test case scenarios and on real devices.
• Use private cloud, public cloud, hand-held device, or private data center, choice is all yours.

Security Testing

Security testing is a process intended to reveal flaws in the security mechanisms of an information system that protect data and maintain functionality as intended. Application security testing is an approach to validate security requirements and uncover vulnerabilities in an application (web / mobile / thick client / web services) and its associated components, by performing static and dynamic security testing. Security testing is becoming a crucial validation activity. It cuts across the lines of business (LOB), enterprise testing, and shared services. Thus, chief information security officers (CISOs) and several information security groups are looking to add security testing as a new service line.

 

Due to the logical limitations of security testing, passing security testing is not an indication that no flaws exists or that the system adequately satisfies the security requirements.

 

In today’s digitally connected world, your security program should enable your organization as well as protect it. At Uprising Hub, we partner with you to detect faster, respond smarter, and predict and prevent more threats altogether, helping you grow and innovate with confidence.

Types of Security Testing

Penetration Testing

A penetration test is performed to evaluate the security of the system. The test is performed to identify both weaknesses, also known as vulnerabilities, including the potential for unauthorized access to the system’s features and data, as well as strengths.

Risk Analysis

Security Risk Assessment is an on-going process of discovering, correcting and preventing security problems. The risk assessments we deal with include SOC, HIPAA, CSA, etc…and provide appropriate levels of security for your information systems.

Security Audits

A Security Audit is a systematic evaluation of a firm’s security implementation of their information systems, by measuring how well they confirm to a set of established criteria. These are often used to determine regulatory compliance, such as HIPAA, CTPAT, CSBIA, etc..

Our Expertise

• Conduct web application security audit (aligned to OWASP standards) of their business critical applications
• Vulnerability scanning – leveraging a tool for identifying inherent vulnerabilities in applications
• Integrating security testing and risk analysis within the application life cycle
