Testing Strategies

White Paper: Crystal Group

All of the power supplies tested passed the thermal, stress test, and low/high voltage operation criteria at 440 Hz. However, there is one very important parameter that must be considered in deeming a power supply appropriate for operation in a 400 Hz environment. This parameter is known as power factor, commonly abbreviated as PF. The higher the PF (desired), the lower the reactance and the more current is in phase with the voltage. The lower the PF (undesired), the higher the reactance and the more out of phase is the current with respect to the voltage. The purposes of this whitepaper are: to provide confidence in claiming compliant operation outside the stated vendor specifications, namely at 400 Hz, suitable for use with airborne power buses to provide compliance with margin and eliminate borderline passing scenarios to provide insights on the supplies that are 400 Hz compatible

Analyzing large amounts of production data by actual users is a very good risk-based approach to testing highly complex systems based on what users actually do instead of all of the theoretical permutations of what a system may need to support. Is software testing capable of employing A.I. approaches, or will human software testers soon be bested by computers as well? This white paper highlights one specific approach that is driven by analyzing large amounts of production data that describes actual usage by real users through the data taken behind them. It discusses: How A.I. can help the 5 basic sources of test coverage Different ways in which A.I. in testing can also be used Risk-Based Testing-Which test cases are most important and most likely to encounter failure, and how do you limit the count?

Effective test automation for terminal-based software can be developed quickly and efficiently. A high degree of coverage and a good return on investment can be achieved while improving software quality. The process and level of effort for building automated tests for terminal-based applications are similar to that of automating tests for applications running on other platforms, including MS Windows and the web. This whitepaper explains the setup, development and execution of automated tests for terminal-based applications, highlighting the differences and similarities as compared to other platforms. Key takeaways from this whitepaper: Creating an effective Test Plan Approach for building automated tests for terminal-based applications through a terminal emulator Challenges related to building test automation for terminal-based applications Ways to manage the test execution process

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP): In order to enhance patient safety and improve the quality of testing performed in laboratories, there is a need for integrating good laboratory practices. There are many areas and processes that a laboratory should consider before adding waived testing to the panel of services. Incorporating FDA GLP capabilities into CAP/clinical facility poses certain challenges. Starting a FDA GLP compliant facility from scratch or bringing FDA GLP compliant capabilities into a facility that is already established under a different set of regulations or practices is challenging. So what are the common challenges in implementing regulations for good laboratory practices and how can they be overcome? Read this whitepaper to know about the common queries on more advanced topics related to integrating good laboratory practice. How can we incorporate CAP and FDA GLP compliant testing in the same space? What are the models used by a facility for incorporating FDA GLP capabilities into its CAP / clinical facility? What are the activities associated with good laboratory practices? Download this whitepaper now to learn more about FDA GLP and CAP regulations for integrating good laboratory practices in your clinical facility.

Automation testing mainly supplements manual testing and makes the whole testing process more efficient. This whitepaper discusses about the advantages of including automation testing on a project, and how it provides a clear idea to testers, developers and clients about the functionality of product in order to overcome failures. Introducing automated testing involves higher costs, but it also depends on key factors such as: Is the team already experienced with using test automation? Do they have an automation framework in place that can easily be fitted to a new project? How much time does it take to build such a framework? Are the tools used for automation free or do they require bought licenses? What is Automation framework? An automation framework is nothing but an integrated, rigorously structured system, capable of establishing a set of rules for the test automation of a software product. Why is it necessary to include Test Automation Framework? Test automation framework contains libraries, methods, test modules, resource and configuration files, and documentation needed to run on specific product and can easily enhance the functionality by selecting or removing the components to fit the current project realities. This whitepaper guides you on: How to automate and what are the automation testing tools? What are the three types of Automation framework models and how do they differ? Data-Driven Models Key-Driver Models The Page Object Models

Why is it significant to properly manage test environments? How should we do it? What are the best practices and strategies to use test environment management tools and services? Test environment management strategy involves guiding and managing the test environment hardware, software, databases, applications, and test data. Slowed testing and inconsistent results are caused by poorly managed environments while problematic, testing issues are caused by inadequate test data management. Most test environment issues can be boiled down by proper test environment management. In order to manage test environment efficiently, the following are necessary: A dedicated Test Environment Management (TEM) team. Defining the team terminology and sticking to it. Creating an easily accessible knowledge base. Defining the test environment strategy. Improving efficiency and productivity in testing. Test management tools that can assist the TEM. Download this whitepaper to build a stronger, better managed test environment which brings a reduction in production issues, increased productivity, and higher customer satisfaction rates.

Challenges faced in mobile application testing must be addressed in order to expedite successful market releases. The fast pace of the mobile market means a lot of quick mobile testing just to keep up. Development and testing of mobile applications is inherently more complicated than it is with PCs. Usage of multiple signals such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc can interfere with the performance of applications. By far, this is the most significant issue faced by mobile development and testing. So, how can we counter these mobile testing challenges? What is the most cost effective way to meet all of the mobile testing challenges by keeping your overhead low? How can you choose the best mobile testing software to help with this? This whitepaper suggests a combination of mobile testing models to meet the challenges of mobile testing while providing necessary coverage. It also explains about outsourcing mobile testing and other cost effective ways to meet all of the mobile testing challenges. It will show you how major mobile testing challenges can be overcome by a 3 step testing strategy which involves Tackling the compatibility issues due to dozens of makes and models. Crowd sourced testing service providers. Emulators to fill in the holes to meet the necessary coverage requirements.
