We provide the following types of testing services:

Performance Testing

Performance testing measures an application or environment's capacity and scalability by measuring the following metrics under simulated, realistic user load conditions:

We perform the following types of testing to ensure whether the systems under test maintain their functional integrity while under load.

Load Testing

We apply a pre-determined load to the software under test to observe its behaviour. We can emulate a large number of users by collaborating with ISP services in Pakistan. Our service is provided remotely from VITEL, avoiding disruptions to our clients or their customers’ development work. We tailor all the test hardware and test tools to suit the needs of our clients.

Stress Testing

We apply an increasing load to a system to determine the point at which the software performance drops below acceptable levels or fails entirely.

Soak Testing

We perform load testing over a period of several days to identify any performance issues, which reveal themselves over prolonged execution cycles.

Scalability Modelling

We combine the above methods of performance testing to determine the future capacity and the limitations of the current design/implementation.

Performance Monitoring

We regularly execute predetermined test programs to ensure that the application’s end user’s expectations are met at all times. Our service provides peace of mind that the application under test is working as expected and that the service provided by third party vendors meets contractual agreements.

Non-Functional testing

VeriQual provides test execution services for the following types of non-functional tests:

Fail over and Resilience

We test the effectiveness of the redundancy, fail over and load redistribution mechanisms by recreating a range of hardware and/or software failures while monitoring continuity and quality of service.

Backup and Recovery

We test the backup and recovery procedures to verify that software and hardware, including databases and servers, can be restored to a pre-failure state should a storage system fail entirely.

Localisation

VeriQual is able to provide the services of native speakers of most European languages to perform language checking and compatibility with regional operating systems and applications.

Hardware and Software Compatibility

VeriQual is able to test applications on a range of hardware and software configurations to minimise the risk of incompatibility and ensure interoperability.

This type of testing includes checking that applications comply with a full range of web browsers, platforms and networks.

Usability

We can arrange focus groups that are representative of the application’s end users to provide feedback on user interface design, ease of navigation and compliance with pre-determined usability standards. The focus groups can be repeated as part of an iterative design process.

Functional testing

VeriQual provides test execution services for the following types of functional tests:

System Testing

Test harnesses may be utilised in an effort to test every function of an application to verify that it complies with the relevant requirements. If the application has already been integrated then test harnesses may not be required.

Integration Testing

We run tests to ensure that the various components of an application interface properly.

User Acceptance Testing

The VITEL concept ensures that we build long term partnerships with our clients and fully understand the way they work and their applications, thoroughly. With sound knowledge of the application’s business objectives, our team of testers can provide pilot testing, beta testing or business acceptance test execution services.

Regression Testing

VeriQual’s low cost base allows us to offer regression test execution services, even if the regression tests cannot be automated readily. Given the long-term relationships we aim to build with our clients, regression-testing work can be handled easily by the dedicated VITEL team. VeriQual’s services save our clients the trouble of familiarising new contractors with old software, as we do not have to start off at the bottom of the learning curve each time the client requires regression-testing work.

Automated Testing

Team VeriQual members have experience with a wide variety of automated tools. We remain vendor independent, but can deploy most tools upon client request.

Security Testing

VeriQual has highly skilled security specialists who can assess a system’s vulnerability to unauthorised penetration. We can identify and report unsecured areas that are susceptible to breach to enable our clients to redress the situation, as soon as we suspect that there are weaknesses such as back doors, known vulnerabilities, or improper transmission channels, which could be exploited.

Multimedia Testing and CD Testing

VeriQual can test various types of media on a wide range of environments including all common operating systems, media players and multimedia plug-ins. We have a fully equipped test lab with a wide range of PC and Mac hardware and can source any uncommon hardware easily through our hardware vendor partnership program.
