Company
background
Established in 2003, SciVisum has grown to become a significant player
in the UK Web and Application Testing market.
Blue chip clients range across Retail,
Banking, Telecoms, Energy, Local and Central Government, Top 10 London
Law Firms, and FT100 companies and include Tesco, T-Mobile, Zavvi, Boden,
National Savings and Investment Bank, Scottish and Southern Energy, uSwitch,
Jessops, BetFair, BDO Stoy Hayward and Reed.co.uk.
SciVisum's provides technical teams a uniquely in-depth anlysis of how
their code and systems are performing, and allows the Business and Marketing
managers to take control of the ongoing Customer Experience on the portals.
SciVisum's success is the result of the combination of its in-house developed
test engine, which provides flexible and fast scripting for complex multi-page
User Journey web site testing, together with the experience of expert
web testing staff.
The result is a portfolio of web effectiveness test services, centred
around User Journeys. This approach helps clients focus on reducing lost
sales online, by continual improvement of evidece based User Experience
metrics.
Clients tend to build an ongoing annual regime testing their business-critical
User Journeys with SciVisum to help maintain the quality of their user
experience. For example SV-Monitor continuous 24/7 monitoring - and a
twice yearly SV-Load stress simulation test. Many companies have previously
bought testing from other suppliers, and appreciate the fact that SciVisum's
unique approach to emulate realistic, random-walk and complex User Journeys
provides unique depth of testing, at costs and time scales to suit today's
tighter project demands.
SciVisum does not build or host web systems, and is thus able to offer
fully independent test and audit services and consultancy.
SciVisum's core web performance test services are:
SV-Monitor
- 24/7 continuous web monitoring of business critical and Customer-Serving
User Journeys: such as Add_To_Basket, CheckOut, Login_and_View_Order -
with a uniquely full featured analysis application delivered via a portal
SV-Load
- Web load testing/web stress testing: producing the vital metric of the
peak capacity User Journeys completed per second: each User Journey on
a site will have a different throughput limit, due to the fact that it
will be using different code and infrastructure behind the scenes
SV-Function
- In-depth testing and analysis of the effectiveness and performance of
the target website. Results will be used to produce a detailed engineering
report of how to improve the site; ranging from network and packet level
issues, web server issues, HTTP compression and caching, through to application
issues and the performance and configuration of transactions and functions
on the site.
SciVisum also performs regular in-depth surveys of website effectiveness
and online sales performance practice, eg:
