Why
test?
How else can you
maximise the effectiveness of your web systems on an ongoing basis?
How else can you ensure & improve quality of service delivery to clients,
suppliers and staff?
How else can you drive focused web development programmes and maximise effective
expenditure?
There is only one way and that is to carry out in-depth, real use testing.
It makes sense to audit what you currently have, in order to identify
the most cost-effective steps necessary to maintain or increase performance.
In short, web testing provides the following benefits...
| Ensure functionality |
Ensure that your web site is functioning correctly
and all steps are performing as expected. Are customers able to complete
transactions? |
| Improve service delivery |
Identify problems and highlight areas for improvement |
| Measure effectiveness |
Measure the effectiveness of web systems and suppliers.
Use metrics as the basis for your SLA |
| Plan for future development |
Gather real evidence to justify future development
Determine failure point and recovery following overload |
| Independent audit |
Provide an independent view of systems for senior
management and audit teams |
| Due diligence |
Prove due diligence and best practice in the
event of failure |
To achieve optimum results testing should be independent, comprehensive
& performed on a regular basis.
Independent
It’s not sufficient to implement testing programmes in-house;
for maximum accuracy testing should provide an unbiased view from the
perspective of the user.
Comprehensive
It’s not good enough to employ basic page grabbing services.
If testing services are to deliver real business benefits, they must be
comprehensive enough to generate valuable performance measurements across
all site transactions.
Regular
Testing should be performed on a regular basis, to ensure that
system effectiveness is tracked over time, proving that infrastructure
upgrades produce evidence of performance gains.
