Testing Protocols

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
The Factory Acceptance test phase is a critical phase in any project, ensuring that your application or system is ‘fit for purpose’ prior to delivery into your network. Our consultants will verify the required test effort prior to delivery and can, based on client site, audit the testing effort performed by the supplier.

System Testing
System testing involves testing every flow of an application in isolation or to and from its' relevant interfaces. Xybax’s consultants will identify areas that may require ‘stubs’ and ‘drivers’ to simulate interaction with other applications if they are not yet available for integration.

Integration Testing
Integration Testing tests the various components of a software environment to ensure that they communicate correctly. Xybax will base this test phase on the system flows between each component. If they are not available, Xybax will perform this by the use of a Reverse Engineering Process.

Functional Testing
Functional Testing involves testing every functional aspect of an application or system to ensure it complies with the relevant functional requirements. Xybax will prepare a ‘functional matrix’ to ensure that every function will be tested sufficiently. This process will also be used when reviewing existing test documentation, quickly highlighting areas that would require additional tests. Each functional component will be given a priority that is agreed with business, in case the testing effort is ‘squashed’ during the project lifecycle. This way we can ensure that areas critical to your business are tested first.
