Functional Testing

Functional testing is neither automated nor subjective. It consists of using an interactive product in development as a typical user would and reporting the bugs found in a clear and concise manner for the programmer to be able to fix them quickly and effectively.

It is basically a testing service meant to confirm that your interactive project “works” as intended, for those times when your boss or client is repeatedly asking you “can we push it live, yet?”

Compatibility Testing

Compatibility testing consists of testing your interactive project on a number of platforms to ensure that it behaves as expected in all of today’s popular browsers and operating systems.

Whether you need your web site tested in multiple versions of Internet Explorer, or your iPhone app tested on older versions of iOS on an iPhone 3G, we got you covered!

Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing is unscripted. It relies on a tester’s best judgment to navigate an interactive product and assess what should be the expected behavior. Often, exploratory testing comes naturally to testers while on a mission.

Exploratory testing is best when combined with design testing. Typically, a tester will work according to a test plan, and “wander off” to further explore a possible defect.

Design Testing / Comparative Testing

Design testing consists of comparing your project’s design documents with the end product. Inevitably, this type of testing is combined with functional and exploratory testing.

Although it requires an investment of time upfront for the tester to read your documentation before he can begin his tests, this is probably the most useful type of testing for companies who are eager to get their product out the door as fast a possible.

Beta Testing

Beta testing is quite popular in the video games community. It offers die-hard fans the opportunity to get a glimpse of a product in development, and a development team an opportunity to see how the server structure reacts to a huge influx of players connected all at once.

While beta testing is at times considered a promotional stunt, it is also a chance to uncover remaining issues before a product becomes available to the general public and as such, having a experienced group of testers thoroughly explore every angle of your project is very valuable.

Test Plan Design

Providing a test plan is the best way to tap into the maximum potential of crowdtesting. The tester assigned to your project performs EXACTLY the tests that you need him to do. We simply need your design documents, and one of our experts will get to work. Test plans are usually built in Excel.

Guerilla QA

It happens to every interactive development team: your project is running late, your team is under tremendous pressure to deliver as soon as possible, you haven’t had much time to test your project thoroughly and you feel overwhelmed by the number of bugs discovered in every release.

“Guerrilla QA” is a tactical team available when you need help to finish up those difficult projects on time. 1, 2, 3, or more experienced QA Testers will come to your offices to test your project extensively under the guidance of your project manager.

The idea behind Guerrilla QA is that this tactical team can once and for all find and document the pesky bugs remaining in your project that would further delay completion.

You simply decide on a number of hours, set a date, and we’ll have a talented bunch of QA professionals at your door when you need it.

Our Guerilla QA service will roll out progressively in North America, starting with Montreal. Please contact us directly for more information.
