Test Tools Development
Despite the standardization that exists today, each software product is unique. In a similar vein, each product will require a somewhat customized approach to testing. This often means developing a customized tool that will either enable testing of a specific part or functionality of the product, or will simply make the testing more effective than is possible using commercially-available tools or manual testing.
At Moravia, we have the high-level programming capabilities for development of tailor-made, turn-key testing tools built on multiple development platforms, including Microsoft .NET Framework, C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java and others.
Our Approach
The objective of the test planning and strategy stage is to determine the optimum approach to testing a given product. This includes making a decision on what areas can be tested automatically and which will require manual testing. Our approach is always to maximize the use of automation.
In some situations, though, commercially available automation tools cannot be deployed to the desired effect, or their customization would be too time-consuming. A custom-made tool may provide significant productivity gains and may reduce the overall costs and time required for a given activity. In each case, we carefully analyze the situation, evaluating the efforts required, the benefits gained, and the longer-term usage of the tool.
Combining Expertise for the Best Results
In developing customized test tools, our testing teams draw on the expertise of our dedicated custom development unit. This unit is staffed with experienced research and development specialists, who apply their own effective software development and engineering processes, compliant with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) SW-CMMI Level 3 process improvement approach.
In addition, our standard software processes are based on best practices from the Unified Processes, PRINCE2 and ITIL methodologies. In this way, we effectively combine our specific expertise in both product testing and software development to deliver a customized testing solution to our clients.
