In order to ensure your system is ready to go live it is necessary to go beyond just functional testing. Non-Functional Testing is designed to evaluate the readiness of your system according to several criteria not covered by functional testing. These criteria include:
Performance: Cresta tests a system's performance to ensure that it provides acceptable response times and user load capabilities. Performance testing will:
 |
Test applications against predicted future volumes |
|
Identify break points to assess the applications ability to cope with a given number of users |
|
Undertake performance based load testing to assess applications performance when being accessed by large numbers of users simultaneously |
|
Test over an extended period of time to ensure, for example, that an application is not running out of memory |
Disaster Recovery: Cresta will ensure that you are prepared in case of a disaster. Disaster recovery plans are checked and back-up systems are tested. Proving the effectiveness of your back-up systems will prevent damage to your business’ reputation and minimise the costs involved if the main system malfunctions.
Security: Cresta will test the security of your system and assess its vulnerability to hacking, etc.
Cresta’s experience across a range of performance testing applications, such as Mercury’s LoadRunner, will help you implement automated testing tools, and report meaningful information about the performance of your system with advice on appropriate actions.
