Quality Assurance and Testing

The ultra dynamic software industry often creates challenges for testing application and products. The ever increasing hierarchy of architecture, curtailed distribution cycle time and a huge gamut of technologies calls for the need for excellent skills, expertise and dedicated professionals.
All companies have already realized the benefits of quality assurance. However, concerns over quality and project management can make this a difficult decision. 3Cube provides the services you need to make your testing & quality assurance effort a success.
3Cube offers a variety of testing services that are customized to provide the most effective and efficient solution for our clients. Our services include:

Manual Testing
Given that the design, usability, consistency, navigation and automated scripts of a site/software undergo rapid change to meet market and user demands, manual testing is crucial to guarantee high-quality performance. Indeed, the QA process cannot be 100% automated, and manual testers must take part to ensure the best possible results.
SQA is involved in the project from the beginning. This helps the teams communicate and understand the problems and concerns, also gives time to set up the testing environment and configuration. On the other hand, actual testing starts after the test plans are written, reviewed and approved based on the design documentation
3Cube is extraordinarily experienced in performing various manual testing strategies and concepts, including:

• UI Testing
• Usability Testing
• Ad-hoc/random Testing
• Link Testing
• Functional Testing
• Boundary Value Analysis
• Configuration Testing
• Data Integrity Testing
• Integration Testing
• System Testing

Automated Testing Solutions
3Cube’s extensive experience with software products, testing methods and automated test development tools allows efficient evaluation of your application and recommendation of the test development tools that best fit your needs. 3Cube Solutions works with multiple test tool vendors to provide informed, objective advice on test tool selection.
3Cube Solutions has a host of Automated Testing Services to help your organization incorporate automated testing into your quality assurance process.

Automated Test Tool Evaluation and Selection
3Cube Solutions will eliminate the confusion and frustration of evaluating and selecting the right automated tools. With vast and diverse experience in automating the testing of complex applications, 3Cube Solutions has developed an extensive criteria used for comparing automated test tools. The automation engineers will perform an evaluation of the leading automated test tools utilizing your application. After a thorough evaluation, a Test Tool Assessment is created which details the findings and recommendations. 3Cube Solutions will ensure that the test tool being considered is compatible with your testing environment before making the investment.

Defining Automated Testing Strategies and Methodologies
Deciding on the right automation strategy for a project, keeping in mind the application size and test-script maintenance can be more frustrating than the process of selecting the tool itself. The wrong automation strategy will result in chaos. Let 3Cube Solutions steer your company towards success by defining and implementing an appropriate Automation Strategy and Methodology.

Automated Test Development and Execution
Recruiting experienced resources and building an effective automation team can be difficult and time-consuming.

In contrast with most systems integrators, 3Cube Solutions develops most of the technology it sells. This gives us tremendous flexibility to customize our solutions to the actual needs of our Clients. 3Cube Solutions comes with a very talented pool of Engineers, Programmers and Project managers.
Over the years we have evolved a Client-driven approach which enables us to deliver the right solution customized to the user’s requirements.
On-Site Development: The conventional and proven method of development for new software and any customization to the existing ones, in this model the entire project execution is carried out at the premises of the client. This facilitates higher user interaction. While applicable in other scenarios as well, we typically propose this model when the customer has no prior experience to external development vendor or the requirement are so dynamic that there is a need for constant contact and vendor involvement.
Off-Site Development: 3Cube Solutions has its development center based out of both USA and Pune, India. As part of this model, we undertake projects to be completely executed out of our near-shore or offshore development centers depending upon our customer’s requirements. Our project engagement methodology is based on a well defined and a matured process, which is both industry standards compliant and proven. Our process ensures that our team maintains the maximum possible user interaction with the project stakeholders keeping them well informed and in the loop through means of teleconference, videoconference, ftp servers and emails. This is definitely more economical than onsite option; since it facilitates need-based allocation of resources to the project (resource loading will vary based on the requirement of each stage of the project). Further, there will be substantial cost reductions in case these tasks are carried out of our development center in India.
