Testing

US Department of Commerce estimated that software bugs cost $59.5 billion to the US economy. About $2 billion of the estimated $13 billion global software testing market is accounted for by Indian companies. India has become one of the leading destinations for offshore software testing.

An ideal world having more than enough time and money would surely afford ample opportunity for creating exhaustive test strategies, comprehensive test plans, 100% code coverage, and infinitely adaptable test frameworks for all possible new components and features, with just enough time to complete all three full test cycles within one week of the product's announced release date.

The real world however demands that, within the limitations of schedule, budget, and available resources, products be fully engineered faster than last time, with fewer bugs, with increases in scalability, security, and performance, yielding at least 20% more ROI.

To address this situation in the right spirit, MindTree follows a partnership approach with its customers, developing a roadmap for collaborating in achieving well-defined goals with respect to test standardization, application quality, business risk, project cost and time to market.

As an independent testing partner, MindTree:

• Defines the business goals and key quality attributes for effective quality management of a desired software testing effort
• Identifies metrics for measuring the performance of the effort relative to the target
• Prioritizes some of these processes, metrics, and their parameters
• Implements gradually, a few at a time, so that the test team's delivery efficiency is not impaired, but creates conditions in which quantitative and qualitative improvements clearly show increased ROI

If higher customer satisfaction and profitability is the eventual goal, there is no substitute for putting formal processes to manage the quality of the software test efforts. This approach helps you to measure the project health with application quality and other outsourcing related metrics. In the end, this makes MindTree responsible and accountable for its deliverables.

MindTree test labs driven engineering processes include process accelerators that not only improve the quality and speed to market, but also help you monitor overall project health throughout product development.

MindTree key testing offerings include:

Automation Testing
MindTree approach for test automation is beyond record and replay. MindTree's approach to test automation reflects the phases of software development in general -- build, execute, and maintain. This approach makes the automation framework robust, and more effective and efficient. Being mindful of expense to its customers, MindTree is very careful to steer clear of indiscriminate automation, partioning and prioritizing the total test effort by means of primary usage and by risk assessment.

Performance Engineering
Performance must be designed and built into a system. MindTree performance engineering services helps in preparing the application to handle real life as well as unusual load conditions, thus reducing the number of failures related to performance and availability. Performance engineering helps with capacity planning, and helps reduce application deployment infrastructure cost.

Vulnerability Assessment
Information security attacks cost more than $70 Billion annually. MindTree helps you analyze and plan for vulnerability assessment, prepare a security strategy, and execute tests, such as code scanning, auditing, and penetration testing.
