Quality Assurance and Testing

Technik’s commitment to quality (CMMI/ISO), deep federal experience and expertise in Quality Assurance and Test Engineering enables quality at speed and delivers an enhanced user experience for our customers. Our end-to-end Quality Assurance and Testing Services are designed to leverage emerging tools and technologies to harness the power of data and automation to close the gap between expectation and delivery. Technik augments and accelerates the DevSecOps transformation using test early test often, a unified approach to continuous testing progressively shifting to the left, enabling rapid feedback to the developers and delivering unparalleled value in advancing the federal government’s quality objectives.

Our support services augment and enable in-sprint Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and Test Driven Development (TDD). Technik’s End-to-End Testing support services include:

White box unit testing Support: For each build, we evaluate the inner workings of a software system including the code, infrastructure, and integrations with external systems to ensure functional integrity.

Functional Testing Support: Technik’s functional testing support includes automated smoke testing, regression testing, integration testing, database testing, interface testing (programmatic as well as interactive interfaces) using tools such as Selenium, Test Complete, SMARTBEAR, Jasmine.

Business Cycle Testing Support: Technik evaluates and ensures the integrity of daily, weekly, monthly and date sensitive events and business activity cycles.

Performance Testing Support: Technik integrates performance testing as part of the CI/CD pipeline and leverages tools such as JMeter, and LoadRunner to design and execute a broad range of performance tests across legacy client/server, modern web and mobile applications. This process ensures that the system meets the service level agreements and service level objectives.

Integration Testing Support: Technik automates functional testing at the API layer as well as GUI layer to ensure that the system meets the integration criteria and leverages mocking and stubbing to simulate the testing for internal and external system dependencies.

User Acceptance Testing Support: Technik provides the necessary guidance and support to facilitate user acceptance testing. We automate the test scenarios using tools such as Cucumber to validate the entire set of acceptance criteria for system under test.

Section 508 Testing Support: Technik plans, designs and executes in-sprint 508 tests to ensure that the product is compliant with the regulatory requirements. We leverage “compliance as code” framework to automate the test execution. Technik collaborates with development teams to address any deficiencies and ensure that the product meets the regulatory compliance requirements.

Software Compatibility Testing Support: Technik evaluates compatibility and interoperability of the products within the standard operating environment (desktop, web and mobile applications), identifies issues, and collaboratively performs engineering analysis to ensure forward/backward compatibility and interoperability of the software under test.

Security Testing Support: Technik augments DevSecOps by integrating the security throughout the automated CI/CD pipeline including integration of Static Analysis (SAST), Dynamic Analysis (DAST), vulnerability scans, penetration testing and continuous monitoring of production systems to facilitate effective incident detection and response.

Test Data Management Support: Technik’s automated test data management brings industry leading tools, expertise and federal experience together to create a virtual data layer – which enables Data as a Service approach to provision cost effective, anonymized and ephemeral datasets in required format at speed to facilitates rapid release cycles. The programmatic data access through end-points enables the testers to integrate the reusable processes within the automated testing cycle. This allows sprint teams the flexibility to plan and implement effective strategies to ensure the stability and reliability of complex systems.

Test Environment Administration and support: Technik’s test infrastructure administration and support services enable virtualization and self-service on-demand provisioning of fit-for-purpose test environments – saving cost and time. We build and manage enterprise app stores (e.g., Citrix StoreFront) thus accelerating the quality assurance activities simultaneously across various product development pipelines.
