Enterprise Testing  solutions

Can one move from development into production in a consistent, safe and scientific manner?
Our proven methodology and supporting tools will allow your organisation to benefit from:

TEST MONITORING: 
Continuously and intelligently monitor the effectiveness of your testing effort and adapt or change strategies as required.
FOCUSED TESTING: Minimise the testing effort without sacrificing quality by focusing in on only the areas involved with the changes being tested.
DUE DILIGENCE: Produce documented audit trail of the testing processes across the system clearly showing that the testing benchmarks have been reached.
EARLY WARNING SYSTEM: Discover data corruption or data integrity problems before they become compounded over time.
DATA CHECKS: Using before and after data format analysis, automatically highlight anomalies in your data resulting from test runs.
TEST DATA EXTRACT: Dynamically extract test data during system execution.
VERIFY: Electronically compare reports and data with absolute accuracy and consistency.

Impressware offers a broad range of enterprise testing tools.  These tools have been used by many top corporate companies where they have proved their worth time and time again.

The testing tools are also suitable for testing in all types of source and data conversions as well as in the Euro conversion environments.

BRIEF OVERVIEW

VERSION DATA

TestAid

TestAid is a tool that can monitor the effectiveness of your testing effort. It can monitor all the source or just parts of the source that are connect with fields involved with your changes. 
As testing is being performed you can monitor (by user, program or system) what percentage of the relevant areas have been executed. Therefore as testing is being performed you can reallocate resources and redirect effort into the areas of need. TestAid also provides documentary evidence (audit trail) of the thoroughness of the testing effort.
 By setting certain benchmarks that have to be achieved in the test environment, the Quality of testing can be Assured.

SafetyNet

SafetyNet is a tool which can analyse files and databses and highlight changes in the profile of the data over a period of time (or before changes to system and after changes to system).
 It looks at the "shape" or profile of the data by analysing a multitude of formats, unique values, minimums/maximums,etc. With each run these stats are stored in a repository and compared with previous runs. This allows one to detect data corruption, abnormal data and sudden trend changes before the errors compound. 
This tool can be used in the test environment (before implementing into production) and against production data from time to time (or at Euro changeover).

Snap 

Snap is an extremely fast comparison tool for files, databases and reports.  Using advanced algorithms it can compare differing type of data with accuracy and consistency.
It has advanced look-ahead and resynchronisation capabilities and can compare down to field level.
When comparing reports, areas can be masked where known differences will occur. When comparing databases, it can compare one database file with another (directly accessing the database) or it can compare a database file with an unloaded version of the file.
