The Test Plan.
Every testing begins with a test plan, generally created in
just a few days - at no cost to you - by our highly-experienced
planning staff . After reviewing your internal release, alpha,
or beta code you provided, we'll devise a Test plan that covers
critical areas in a logical test process.
Different kinds of software may require radically
different test techniques, time frames, and cost considerations.
The test plan will include Functionality, Compatibility, Scalability
and Usability testing and may be based on a flat price or
on time-and-materials. Test plans can accommodate multiple
builds of products during test periods, and always include
provisions for regression and re-testing after bugs are fixed.
We may recommend detailed scripting, automation or "exploratory"
ad-hoc test techniques. All testing is done in-house at our
facility.
Functionality testing
/ Basic quality assurance.
This is the "bug-finding" phase of testing and generally
precedes compatibility testing. During this phase, our experts
analyze your product and recommend a reasonable and cost-conscious
plan. We will execute it to give you confidence needed to
take your product to market.
Compatibility.
Will your German version operate on the French version of
Windows® NT?
Will your French version operate on the English version of
Windows 98?
Do you need to test your communications module with dozens
of leading modems?
Has your client software been tested with all the leading
network operating systems and environments?
Do you have to be sure that your title supports all the leading
sound and graphics cards, and complete systems from major
computer manufacturers?
ALG maintains a vast computer lab and performs rapid compatibility
tests-with all the crucial hardware and software on the market.
Let our experts propose a test matrix that will aggressively
position you in the marketplace.
Usability.
Has your software been reviewed by a focus group of target
customers?
Usability testing is generally performed early in the development
cycle, when it's still possible to make important alterations
to your user interface.
We put together teams of UI pros-along with
focus-group leaders and experienced developers-to give you
crucial feedback at an opportune time.
