Quality Assurance and Testing Services

Functional Testing

Functional testing is a type of testing which verifies that each function/functionality of the software application operates in conformance with the requirement specification. This testing mainly involves black box testing and it is not concerned about the source code of the application. Each and every functionality of the system is tested by providing appropriate input, verifying the output and comparing the actual results with the expected results. The testing can be done either manually or using automation

Functional Testing Challenges

Functional testing starts with gathering the testing requirements and continues through designing and developing tests, executing those tests and analyzing product defects. There are various challenges at every phase of functional testing life cycle, which include

• Scope creep and unclear requirements
• Difficulty in understanding ‘what to test’ and ‘what not to test’ requirements
• Issues related to test environment setup and test execution, which take enormous amount of time in resolving for those testers who are new to the test team
• Blocking issues found in the product functional areas lead to extensive re-planning putting the overall testing plan at a stake.
• Incomplete defect description & steps to reproduce which results in too many defects getting re-assigned back for “Needs More Information” from development team
• How to create a mechanism for measuring the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of the testing process so as to identify the areas of improvement?

MobiLyte Solution

• MobiLyte use in-house Project Management Tool to gather/upload requirements, which can be further connected to test case and defects. Our PMT tool can be used to track backward and forward traceability for all requirements.
• Our in-house tool creates traceability matrix which show the relationship from features to requirements and requirements to test cases and test cases to issues. This gives us consolidated functional test coverage matrix for various test cases to be executed.
• We have a build and release team in-house to set-up the processes to get the intermediate product builds well before the formal QA handover. Our team is well equipped with install and configuration instructions for build/release cycle.
• MobiLyte QA team prepare result Summary report sheet for every build to maintain the overall summary of the test cases executed and effort spent during the testing for each stage and feature. This also provides the details for the new defects found during the UAT testing cycle.

Automation Testing

Every time you make changes in your software code, it must be tested. Doing that manually can be laborious, time consuming, and costly. This is the reason why more and more enterprises are adopting Automation Testing. At MobiLyte, we have mastered the art of designing and implementing automated testing strategies for all kind of applications. MobiLyte offers reliable Quality Assurance automation services across multiple domains. We help businesses to deliver results with improved quality. Our Quality Assurance engineering consultants examine your organization’s QA function to enhance the cost efficiency of the QA efforts.

Automation Testing Challenges

• We at MobiLyte believe that the initial phase of test automation is usually expensive. It’s necessary to analyze, design and build a test automation framework, libraries or reusable functions, etc. Automation regression testing is crucial and useful in most Agile and Data Driven contexts. But when turning into the cost, corporates run into many concerns.
• Test automation requires necessary technical skills to accurately design and maintain test automation framework and test scripts, build solutions, and resolve technical issues. Automated testing resources need to have strong knowledge of framework’s design and implementation. To fulfill these job requirements, obviously, these resources need to have both strong programming skills and solid test automation tools.
• Ineffective communication and collaboration can easily turn test automation experiences into a nightmare. To have clear purposes and goals, we need to keep the entire team on the same page.

MobiLyte Solution

• Because testing is an essential part of our company, we have created a specific testing system for our clients. mTest Framework provides a ready to implement test automation framework and provides a customized sustainable library for building tests with a defined structure. mTest assists engineers in the automation process, allowing them to focus on other aspects of a project.
• We have team of certified automation engineers, who are experienced in various tools and technologies. Our team is guided by experienced leads who are experts in their respective engineering fields and our delivery virtual teams are categorized for each project depending on required skills and competencies.
• Implementing an automation testing POC is a crucial and most often used method of introducing a tool to an organization. Once it is decided that automation is to be done and a tool has been chosen, it is time to create a prototype as a POC and present it to the management to showcase the real-time usage and benefits.

Big Data Testing

Big data is a collection of large datasets that cannot be processed using traditional computing techniques. Testing of these datasets involves various tools, techniques and frameworks to process.

Our testing expertise:

Here is the high-level overview of phases in Testing Big Data Applications by Mobilyte team.

Phase 1: Data Staging Validation

The first step of big data testing, also referred as pre-Hadoop stage involves process validation. Data from various source like RDBMS, weblogs, social media, etc. should be validated to make sure that correct data is pulled into system.

Phase 2: “MapReduce” Validation

The second step is a validation of “MapReduce”. In this stage, the tester verifies the business logic validation on every node and then validating them after running against multiple nodes, ensuring that the Map Reduce process works correctly.

Phase 3: Output Validation Phase

The final or third stage of Big Data testing is the output validation process. The output data files are generated and ready to be moved to an EDW (Enterprise Data Warehouse) or any other system based on the requirement.

Wearables Testing

Gone are those days of just having a mobile device app to enter into mainstream mobile computing. Now healthcare providers are not only thriving to deliver ubiquitous health and fitness services through mobile apps but also want a sure commercial success by increasing the star rating of their applications. Different health care patients and users use mobile devices in multiple ways and it has become important for healthcare providers to establish a growing curve to ensure that their apps are living up to user expectations.

Our testing expertise:

Mobilyte team acknowledged the business and data critical need of the “wearables” applications overall integration within the Healthcare system and in addition the evolving need of future enhancements. Business dependency on Test automation became extremely critical for this app to reside on multiple devices.

Our Approach:

• Creation and maintenance of high and medium priority feature test cases which are reusable, accomplished in the first testing spring.
• Designing and maintaining of an automation framework which is reusable across multiple device Platforms that supports test metrics data generation and retains the core functionality validation/ verification.
• Minimizing the Regression cycle times by implementing continuous integration and by using Mobilyte accelerator.

E-Commerce Testing

Living in the times of omnichannel retail, seamless shopping experience and innumerable alternatives available to the customers, a test professional has a very collaborative role to play and be a part of the bigger picture when working on an e-commerce platform. The primary focus during static and dynamic testing of an e-commerce platform should always be on what is highly visible to the customer and matter the most to them. A QA needs to don a “User’s” hat and make relevant suggestions on what would give the customer a reason to return to the same website and also drive them to stores.

Our testing expertise:

Here is a checklist of testing types that Mobilyte testing team performs to validate e-commerce applications/Portals

• Compatibility testing
• Session Management
• Page Display
• Usability
• Content Analysis
• Transactions
• Order Processing
• Internationalization
• Payment Integrations Performance

Blockchain Testing

Blockchain is a data structure that exists in many locations at once. You can only add to the blockchain. No deletions or updates are permitted. The data held within a blockchain is decentralized, which means a copy of the existing blockchain is on every machine in the network.

Our testing expertise:

Mobilyte has developed in-house framework to test Blockchain applications. We have integrated ‘Smart contracts’, which are a big part of the validation technology within a blockchain. If a defect is found in production, then a new version of the contract has to be created and deployed. New versions of existing contacts can’t simply get the existing data transferred in; you have to manually initialize the previous data with the new contract.

Updating a contract and rolling back an update is also not a viable option; this increases the complexity of development and means that the importance of implementing and running unit and integration tests on your application before it reaches production could save you major time and money in rectifying defects.

AI & Machine Learning Testing

A machine with the ability to perform cognitive functions such as perceiving, learning, reasoning and solve problems are deemed to hold an artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence exists when a machine has cognitive ability. The benchmark for AI is the human level concerning reasoning, speech, and vision. Nowadays, AI is used in almost all industries, giving a technological edge to all companies integrating AI at scale. According to McKinsey, AI has the potential to create 600 billions of dollars of value in retail, bring 50 percent more incremental value in banking compared with other analytics techniques. In transport and logistic, the potential revenue jump is 89 percent more.

Our testing expertise:

Mobilyte is still in the early stages of developing automation framework and methodology to test AI/ Machine Learning based application. Our partial framework can automatically verify that your web or mobile app appears correctly across all devices, all browsers and all screen sizes.
