Software Quality & Performance
In the complex system environments at most enterprises, technology needs to support hundreds or thousands of users, often running at peak loads and is required to work optimally and error-free at all times. The quality and performance of software or a system is not just a technical issue, but also reflects how well the business operates and performs on a daily basis. New systems and changes to systems in complex environments increase the risk of performance and quality issues, many of which are difficult to identify in development stages. Software quality & performance services drive improvements in information technology and ensure scalability and stability for existing and planned systems, including improving overall quality, reliability, capacity, security, and performance. Software quality and performance is not about what functionality is delivered, but how well functions perform.
Software quality & performance engineering services
We bring a robust and programmatic approach to assessing, testing, and improving software quality and performance. We work both at the initiative and program level, meaning that we can help you engineer performance into solutions while still under development, or we can provide sound advice to improve your in-house quality assurance (QA) and performance engineering (PE) operations. Services that support this focus area include:
Quality assurance process assessment & strategy: Understanding your QA process and establishing a clear roadmap, gaining buy-in, conducting the QA process, and measuring success of quality assurance activities.Quality assurance automation & tools implementation: Leveraging QA automation tools in conjunction with your QA process to enhance efficiency, and improve test quality and coverage.
Quality assurance for SOA: Delivering specific QA strategies and processes for SOA-enabled systems and environments.
Quality assurance test data management: Managing test data in the quality assurance environment, including the test data strategy, test infrastructure, and functional validation processes.
Performance engineering advisory services: Organizational and operational planning, strategy and design services for transforming internal performance engineering capabilities and competencies.
Performance engineering assessment: Developing a clear picture of system capabilities in regards to performance, including capacity, speed, reliability, security, error rates, and other key performance measures.
Production performance rescue: Minimizing disruption and quickly restoring functionality, stability, performance, and capability during an unexpected performance problem or outage.
Application & service performance management: Optimizing the performance of specific applications and services within a system.
