Testing: A Key Element in the Application Development Lifecycle

Testing increases stakeholder satisfaction…

Many organizations have turned to Dell Services to ensure that their applications are error-free as they perform to serve customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

In addition, our testing services help clients reduce exposure to business risk, achieve faster time-to-market, and improve the acceptability of new solutions by customers and suppliers.

Dell Services: A robust and experienced  testing practice

Dell Services has set up a testing practice where our applications professionals earn added skills and knowledge by participating actively in a variety of testing projects. This hands-on experience prepares our associates to implement more exhaustive test routines to achieve better quality and more meaningful results. In addition, our applications group has developed solution accelerators in several domains which helps reduce the time needed  to develop testing scripts.

Dell Services delivers testing services from multiple global delivery centers which often results in significant cost efficiencies.

Dell Services Application Testing Services include:

Full testing lifecycle coverage

  • Test Assessment: We understand the testing needs and the testing process maturity of an organization, and are able to provide strategic and tactical inputs to make testing a more effective management tool.
  • Independent Verification and Validation: We focus on testing as an independent activity phase that is fully integrated within the development lifecycle. Our team examines development phases, including requirements and design, to identify potential risks.
  • Early Detection: Our experience and methodologies help identify and resolve issues early to dramatically reduce wasted effort, future rework, added costs, and project delays.
  • Test Automation: Our automated suite of testing tools and methodologies can reduce the tedium and risk of human error typically associated with manual testing. Automating the process not only increases accuracy, it also frees up development staff to concentrate on assessing and building new features and functionality.
  • Functional Testing: We test whether an application performs as expected in accordance with its functional specifications. 
  • Non-functional Testing: We assess applications for other key performance areas such as: load bearing capacity, security, business continuity, usability, accessibility, and more. This helps ensure higher user adoption and lower risk of lost revenue from customer attrition because of service interruptions..
  • Performance Testing and Optimization: We evaluate and determine application performance benchmarks at varying usage volumes to establish and improve peak application performance.
