Hurix provides comprehensive testing solutions ranging from functional, usability, and performance to interoperability testing. These solutions help organizations achieve predictable software quality gains while reducing the time and cost associated with testing activities by leveraging our Global Delivery Model.

Manual Testing Solutions:

Automation Testing Solutions:
Automation testing means execution of test cases in an automated way without manual intervention. Automation testing can be achieved either by using a third party tool or by developing an in-house tool suited to the testing need. Hurix has developed its expertise in automation of functional as well as in load/ performance testing solutions for software systems with sophisticated human interfaces.

When is Automation testing recommended?
Automation testing is primarily used for performing regression testing of a product. Regression testing requires execution of test cases with every build. Product releases are usually incremental and have a short development time span and hence require rigorous QA activities. Since the builds to QA are released at short and regular intervals, it is not possible to execute all test cases of a product manually. This is where automated test cases help as it provides quick and accurate results on the build status.

Advantages of Automation Testing Solutions:
Hurix System’s unique combination of test automation technology, services and methodology adds value to the test by giving product companies a maintainable automated solution that allows them to reduce test cycle time, increase coverage, improve test accuracy and accelerate time to market. Some of the advantages realized are:

Performance Testing:
Load/Performance testing is the process by which software is tested to determine the current system performance. It is done to assess how the site/product holds up under different loads and provide the customer with extensive data to help scale the site/product up to meet higher loads.

Why Performance Testing?
Speed - Does the application respond quickly enough for the intended users?
Scalability – Will the application handle the expected user load and beyond? (Capacity)
Stability – Is the application stable under expected and unexpected user loads? (Robustness)
Confidence – Are you sure that users will have a positive experience on go-live day?
Benefits of Performance Testing:

Application Tuning: The performance of the application is improved and the application is fine tuned by finding out the Performance bottlenecks, architectural defects and fixing them.

Infrastructure Tuning: The efficiency of existing hardware can be improved (speed and volume of responses) by referring the facts and figures obtained in the form of performance testing results.

Capacity Planning: Performance Testing also helps in analyzing and planning as to how much hardware we need in the present and would require in the future in satisfying the growing performance requirements?

Security testing:

Web Application Penetration Testing:
Despite common use of defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detection or prevention systems, hackers can access valuable proprietary and customer data, shut-down websites and servers and defraud businesses, as well as introduce serious legal liability without being stopped or, in many cases, even detected.

Web applications allow users access to resources from any part of the globe. Due to the ease of accessibility, web applications have turned out to be common targets for hackers. Vulnerabilities may be inherent within the application due to flawed design, improper coding practices or configuration errors. These vulnerabilities, if not identified and fixed, could adversely impact the business processes and the reputation of an organization. To effectively address these security vulnerabilities Hurix Systems offers our Web Application Penetration Testing service, which includes comprehensive tests to discover vulnerabilities and to determine risk index of the application.

Product Security Testing:
Product Security Testing has the capability to break the security mechanism built into the product, identifying scenarios where the application fails, behaves abnormally and can withstand the attack/exploit. Based upon the application type, Hurix Systems attempts various exploits and attacks on it. Tests like tampering the licensing mechanism, editing any registry entries (specific to the OS) are also attempted.

Network Testing:
As important as understanding if an application performs as expected is understanding if the network infrastructure performs as expected. To meet this need we have developed dedicated Network testing services.

These services are aimed at determining how well the network and infrastructure will cope with change. Our testing services are tailored for different scenarios, such as:

Usability Testing:

What is Usability testing?
Usability tests focus on human factors, aesthetics, user interface consistency, online and context sensitive help, wizards, agents and user documentation. This is testing for 'user-friendliness'.

Why to do Usability testing?
A usability test gauges operability of an application. It ensures ease, simplicity and comfort of use of the software. Such tests facilitate identification of areas of an application which, if presented in a different way, would assist users to operate the application more effectively and with ease. Of importance here would be identification of areas where users would need context sensitive help.

How to do Usability testing?
A usability test is subjective, and will depend on the targeted end-user or customer. User interviews, surveys, video recording of user sessions, and other techniques are used to determine the test process. Over time Hurix Systems has derived empirical benchmarks to gauge applications from a user’s perspective.

Expertise in Testing Tools:
Hurix Systems works with multiple test tool vendors, allowing us to provide informed, objective advice on test tool selection. Our recommendations can include a hands-on inspection of your products, including tests of the fit between your application and different tool sets.
