Software & Application Functional Testing

Despite significant investments in automation, over 70 percent of software testing today is still done manually. Understanding what has or hasn't been tested, and what is appropriate for manual or automated testing remains a major challenge at most organizations. Increasing functionality and features, combined with compressed development cycles make QA functional testing one of an organizations' greatest concerns for meeting time-to-market demands.

• At XBOSoft, we have an effective and proven functional testing practice that delivers a fast and objective way to determine whether the application works properly as designed.
• With functional testing, the XBO team translates functional requirements into executable test cases that confirm how well the application meets the requirements at any given time.
• We provide feature by feature validation of behavior, utilizing a wide range of normal, boundary condition, and erroneous data.
• Our application functional testing covers user interface, API's, database management, security, installation, configuration, upgrade, and networking features.
• XBOSoft provides objective insight to determine missing or incorrect functionality implementations that can lead to countless rewrites, user dissatisfaction, and project failure.
• We provide feature by feature validation of behavior, utilizing a wide range of normal, boundary condition, and erroneous data.

Software & Application Regression Testing

Following a policy for regular regression testing is critical to successful software development projects. Surprisingly, regression testing is not widely practiced among small and medium sized development companies. Many verify critical functionality once, and then assume the software and applications will continue to work unless they are intentionally modified. Often, organizations give up on regression testing because they find it complicated and difficult to execute in the methodical manner that it should.

• XBOSoft are experts at regression testing with well defined policies and practices.
• XBOSoft's regression testing team works closely with clients to develop customer specific guidelines for regression system usage, and then the implementation and integration of those guidelines into the software development lifecycle.
• XBOSoft provides a means to monitor and measure the policy's application as well as report the data it is tracking.
• Key elements of XBO Regression Testing:
  • Regression testing should be tightly linked to functional testing, and be built from the successful test cases developed and used in functional testing.
  • Test cases, which verified the application's initial behavior or functionality, are re-run regularly as regression tests and become the means for verifying that an application continues to work correctly as new code is being added.
  • During regression testing, specified test cases are run and current outcomes are compared to previously-recorded outcomes, thereby alerting any discrepancies between current and previous software builds.
  • Test cases are also added specifically to regress against defects that have been fixed in previous software builds.
