Extenprise offers independent verification & validation (V&V) services spanning the entire product release lifecycle. This includes formulating test strategy, test planning, execution, and defect analysis & risk assessment. Extenprise team would work very closely with the development teams to understand and validate requirements and come up with a high level test strategy that would include scope of testing, types of testing required, test environment requirements, key milestones, defect management plan etc. This would be followed by detailed test plan that would include effort estimation, timelines, resource loading etc. After unit testing by development team, the V&V team will apply certain criteria as defined in the test strategy before accepting the load for further testing. Once the load is accepted, the V&V team will carry out:

• Integration testing
• System testing
• Regression tests
• Non-functional testing
• Performance
• Load/Stress
• Usability testing

Throughout the project, test progress and productivity reports will be generated to monitor the schedules, quality and risk.

TEST AUTOMATION

Faced with constant time to market pressures and the ever-increasing demands on the quality front, companies are on the look out for ways and means to improve testing productivity without compromising on coverage. Hence automation of test suites assumes great importance in the IT and product industries. However, despite the myriad of tools available in the market, this is easier said than done. Firstly, it is important to set clear business goals for automation and work towards creating a detailed automation strategy and plan. Secondly, it is also important to conduct feasibility & viability study that helps in understanding how much automation can be done and whether it is worth doing the same or not by computing the RoI. Last but not the least; a tool selection exercise needs to be carried out followed by a proof of concept of the selected tool.

TESTING FOR CERTIFICATION

Extenprise offers certification services for various software products (applications). The certification indicates that a third party software product provides all the features as outlined in the certification guidelines provided by the software vendor.

The objective of certification testing is to make sure that products (applications) developed by ISVs have full functionality, that the certification requirements are met and that the product is not generating frequent faults or system crashes. This testing, however, would not constitute a "quality assurance" seal and would not imply that the product is bug- free.

Extenprise will 'certify' third party products/applications based on various benchmarks as decided by the software major. This certification will ensure that the applications developed by ISVs are fully functional on software vendor's hardware and software platform.

Our unique value proposition lies in our ability to:

• Use global delivery model for testing
• Use industry standard tools for functional and performance testing
• Innovate using our own testing framework
• Use talented and skilled resource pool
• Improve the productivity of testing by test automation thus reducing the cost of testing
