Can you give information about service and solutions that your company provide in software field?
As 4S Information Technologies Software Test Services department, we provide software test, service virtualization consultancy, outsource services and trainings. We can categorize our services and solutions as Functional Test Automation, Performance/Load Tests, Test Process Improvement, Mobile Application Test Automation, Statics Source Code Analysis, Service Virtualization and trainings about all these categories. If we mention about each of them in more detail;
Functional Test Automation
Software test automation is the best way to improve software test effectivity, efficiency and scope. It is essential and valuable particularly in situations where same tests should be run during each new version.
Our automation team is composed of expert consultants who have proven experience in abroad. First of all, our team works with our clients to identify tests to be automatized and they provide test scenarios automation as turn-key basis. After that process, they provide that these tests are run either after each new version released or during predefined hours of the day, they supply test result reports to the clients. We can say that it is one of the most value adding test services.
Performance / Load Tests
Generally performance tests are necessary during development of new applications or services or immediately after development. These tests enable clients to see how the applications will behave under high user loadings before end-users see and they can take preventive measures. Usually, end-users give low grade for a very useful application which operates completely with respect to functionality due to bad performance. Objective of performance/load tests is isolating system and application problems and detecting the problems in a timely manner to take necessary precautions.
4S Performance Test service is used to ensure that the applications of our clients can cope with potential user load at a sufficient performance.
Test Process Improvement
At the beginning, a Test Maturity Matrix is established by defining current maturity level about software test of the organizations. After that, short term and long term improvement targets are set; a process improvement report is prepared to explain how necessary process improvements will be achieved and improvement solutions.
This service helps our clients to assess their existing test process maturity and prioritize improvement steps based on current software test process. It enables quality and traceability enhancement.
Test Process Improvement service is commonly preferred by our clients who need test process improvements and want to achieve end-user satisfaction by minimizing the errors.
Mobile Application Test Automation
Mobile applications have entered into our lives very rapidly and we use them very frequently. Therefore, their functionality, performance and security test have become significantly important.
The biggest difficulty of manual testing of mobile applications is that every day new phone model is released and new mobile operating system version is emerged. Therefore, it is almost impossible to run test scenarios manually for many device and mobile operating system version. Functional test automation resolves these bottlenecks. We can perform mobile application test automations for Native or Hybrid applications and also Wap tests on Andoid, IOS, Blackberry and Window Mobile operating systems. The biggest advantage of this service is that a test automation script prepared on a platform can run without any additional effort on all mobile operating system versions and all different model or brand devices in same platform.
Statics Source Code Analysis
This analysis helps to identify and solve the errors found in source code during code development stage. Sometimes project teams do not execute tests during development phase and they think that tests or analysis groups will be tested later on in any way, time is scarce during development phase or they perform a test within a very short time and they tend to send the code to test groups immediately. On the other hand, this approach does not save time, it causes unplanned time loss due to back and forth and communication between test and development teams. It is one of our essential services for the organizations who want to send their applications to test groups and the end-users with minimum error.
Service Virtualization
Most of the applications operate as integrated with many outside web services. In case that these outside services are not reachable, it is a nightmare for many organizations that application tests stop and performance tests cannot be conducted due to restrictions of these outside web services. We can minimize dependency to these outside web services during test phases by virtualizing our customers’ services via Service Virtualization.
Trainings
Besides consultancy and outsourcing, our company also provides expertise trainings. Among theoretical trainings, we can count Software Test Expertise Training, SoftwareTest Management Training, Test Automation Techniques Training and Performance Tests Essentials Trainings. HP QuickTest Professional Essentials, HP Quality Center Essentials, HP Application Lifecycle Management Essentials, HP LoadRunner Essentials and HP Diagnostics are practical-based trainings.
What are your 2013 goals and plans in software field?
Throughout 2013, 4S will continue to focus on primarily Functional Test Automation, Performance Tests, Mobile Application Tests and Statics Source Code Analysis.
Why do your clients prefer you as a software company?
One of the main reasons for why our clients choose 4S in test field is that 4S has been performing these works both internally and in foreign countries since 2002 very successfully.
The other important reason is that 4S Test Services Department takes its power from consultants likewise other consultancy organizations. Our department is composed of expert consultants who have proven internationally recognized reputable experience and expertise in their field and solution architects. Preference of our clients and its sustainability is our most valuable treasure.
