As you know, the importance of testing can’t be overstated. If inadequately tested, even the best-conceived and best-designed product is doomed to fail. Testing is also a costly part of any operation and calls for the ability to handle fluctuating resource requirements. Testing needs tend to vary because testing is a dynamic activity. Fortunately for you, CTE is fully capable of meeting the most exacting testing requirements of our clients.

Leveraging the proven track record of the Global Delivery Model, CTE can set up an ODC (Offshore Development Center) exclusively for a client's project. Besides lowering the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), the ODC also provides world-class testing facilities for the client. Some of the testing services provided by CTE include:

• Understanding the functionality of the product
• Understanding the scope of work at the Offshore Testing Center
• Developing test plans, with schedules, deliverables, etc.
• Developing test design documents (integration, system)
• Developing test stubs and test suites
• Testing test stubs for correctness
• Executing test cases and producing test reports and defect reports
• Repeating testing steps until the product is error-free
• Ensuring traceability between functionality and the test design documents
• Ensuring that the documents and code are under version control
• Using testing tools or defect tracking tools as required by the client
• Making backups whenever and wherever necessary
• Submitting the metrics details, as required by the client, on all testing activities

While developing test cases for the product testing, our testers consider the following type of testing:
• Functionality
• GUI
• Error handling
• Exception handling
• Performance
• Stress
• Multi-user
• Configurability
• Portability
• Load Simulation
• Security
• Compatibility
• Usability
• Sanity

We have expertise and a large talent pool in the following technologies:
• IDE: Eclipse
• Build Tools: Ant
• Source Control: CVS
• Application Servers: Weblogic, JBoss, Apache Tomcat
• Bug Tracking: Bugzilla
• OS: Solaris, Linux, Windows
• API: J2SE, J2EE, Apache Commons, Xereces, JDOM, JAI, spring, Struts
