Oil and Gas Production Software Testing

Technology and software are widely used in the oil & gas industry. Both share unique characteristics and features that impact testing strategies and methodologies including:

• Data: Oil and gas software must handle large amounts of data. Taking data fromseveral sets of inputs, processing it, and then outputting information, knowledge, and insights requires efficient and thorough test case design and data integrity checks. In addition, technical platforms and environments for both input and output are complex and interconnected requiring significant attention to test strategies and methodologies.
• Software and operations complexity require deep knowledge and expertise: Calculations, statistical models, simulations, and forecasting algorithms all interact via multiple systems that feed processes up and downstream with critical data. This makes testing scenarios complex, and near infinite leading to a need for test strategies focusing on risk management.
• Diversity: Software has many different types of users, installed on a significant number of computers with diverse heterogeneous environments, some of which must be extremely secure and/or withstand harsh environmental conditions.
