Testing
is really at the early stages of it's development as a profession
with it's own tools, methodologies and training (especially recently
with ISEB). Junction70 has taken the development of this practice
further by integrating other processes that complement and add value
to the overall service that a client would expect. We appreciate
that the client may not always have this resource internally available
for us to call on. If, for example, we have a performance test engagement,
we will also include our network or build division to give greater
depth and feedback in the results. We cover the full software lifecycle (including development and live deployment) in test coverage. We can deliver your strategy, your plan or just the execution stage. For more specific details of the services we deliver please click on a link or contact us here. "Let's
get a few business users anyone will do and get them to test the
basic business/application processes….". For many this
is UAT. At Junction70 we see UAT as one of the most crucial stages
not just of testing but of the whole development lifecycle. Junction70
will simulate an environment as near to the actual environment (or
in fact use the live environment 'pre-production') to ensure any
issues found at this stage are real issues. If the product in question
will have a large user base we are able to test on multiple environments
with our 'quick build and test' solution as well as using resources
offshore. "Tools,
tools, tools…" Is performance testing all about what test
tool you use? No. It's amazing just how quickly companies are willing
to commit to using a Performance Tool. We are not against this if
the situation calls for it. We have delivered projects using LoadRunner,
Segue SilkPerformer, Compuware's QALoad, Rational's TestManager
and others including freeware (if applicable). However there are
sometimes shortfall's with using the tools, and some research we
have done suggests that they do not always represent the real life
workload as seen across the network. The company you choose needs
to have a real in depth knowledge of capacity planning, network
topology, various software architectures, etc, to be able to give
an independent but informed opinion. Junction70 has that knowledge. Contact us here to find out how we can help assess/ensure that your system is performing as expected.
We are able to offer a comprehensive security test service that includes:

Rational, Compuware, Segue, Radview - who do you use? What functionality
is available? Can test automation really deliver what it promises?
Well for a start you may want to read a white paper written a few
years by one of our Test Experts http://www.qadownloads.com/ftp/misc/papers/toolcomparison.doc Functional
Testing is the mainstay of the testing market. With so many architectures
and environments, it's important that you get a company that not
only has experience of testing applications across these environments
but has experience in building them. Web based, client/server, mainframe,
Unix, Windows Server, Thin Client, PC configuration, Java based
technology - the list is endless. Unit testing, system testing,
database testing, network testing, operational acceptance testing,
disaster recovery -. Junction70 has been involved and has resources
available to ensure that your applications are fully tested end
to end and top to bottom. E-business
is with us to stay despite the internet boom and bust at the turn
of the century. The staff at Junction70 have worked on some of the
largest projects of those years as well as projects now and have
an in depth knowledge of what contributes to a good e-business website
and infrastructure. From basic html pages to full n-tier architectures.
E-commerce and web based applications are one of the most fast changing
technologies and, with this, comes very demanding test requirements.
How do you conduct usability tests with a potential audience of
billions? Which user groups should you represent? How do you test
that your site does not discriminate against the disabled? What
about performance tests, security,fraud tests? How many platforms
should you test against?

us here to find out how we can help take you or your staff to
the next level in Testing.
Junction70 are able to QA any project test, Infrastructure and Data
activities to ensure that processes are being followed and that
project objectives are being delivered. For more details contact

Testing
as an activity within the Software Development lifecycle has been
here for as long as software development itself. It’s only
really been since the early to mid 1990’s and in particular
the turn of the century, however, that we have really seen a distinction
of testing in its own right.
Sometimes
going on a training course alone is not enough. You would like to
learn hands on for a few days, weeks or even months. At Junction70,
we always like to ensure that we conduct a sufficient skills transfer
as part of any project. Sometimes the project deliverable IS skills
transfer and we can deliver a structured 'Mentor and Review' programme
that ensures your staff get to work with a skilled Test Specialist
who will be able to demonstrate how to use the test tools, conduct
performance tests, etc. For some elements of the mentor programme
a minimum skill level is expected but we can tailor this programme
to suit most situations.|
