Nowadays many companies face new challenges while designing effective and efficient testing strategies for enterprise applications. Incomplete or flawed test data means inaccurate testing, which can lead to application failure and business disruption. The basic approaches to build test environments include cloning application production environments and writing custom extract programs. These testing methods can be labor intensive, error prone and costly. None of the client would like to risk losing customers, market share, brand equity or revenue by delivering applications that have not been thoroughly tested. For this reason, looking for a dedicated enterprise application testing company is a must. Ensuring Both End-User and System-Wide Quality for Enterprise Applications, dedicated performance testing companies, use industry leading tools to perform most complete and collaborative Enterprise Software Testing solutions. Mindfire Solution is one such company delivering quality testing services. Our tools and techniques allows ...
... QA, development and analyst teams to rapidly design and execute functional, unit, regression and load tests against dynamic web sites (RIAs), as well as natively testing and verifying business logic within most middle-tier technologies that exist below the UI, and extending to provide a test harness for custom and legacy applications. In a single test environment, our test team invoking and verifying functionality at every layer of enterprise applications, from dynamic web apps, to web services (WSDL/SOAP), ESB/JMS messaging layers, EJB servers, Java objects, databases, file systems, legacy objects and many more technologies, to support SOA testing, BPM and integration efforts. We use advance tools to test requiring minimal script or code, which enables developers and non-developers alike to collaborate on testing with high productivity, even against "headless" middle-tier services and apps that have no interface. The various aspects of testing are defined below:

Functional Testing: Our teams' services and tools allows our QA, Development, and Business Analyst teams to test rich browser and web user interfaces, as well as the many building blocks and data residing below the UI. Using sophisticated tools, all of the web, SOA, data and implementation layers the team needs to functionally test can be analyzed, invoked and verified to ensure requirements are met.

Agile Regression Testing: Extends the value of creating and modeling unit and functional tests by allowing dynamic tests to be remotely executed as a part of build, Test Management and Application Lifecycle Management tools and processes. Errors and exceptions are found earlier in the lifecycle, reducing costs and increasing team agility.

Load & Performance Testing: Load testing needs to be conducted as early as possible. Waiting for a completed application to stress test at the user interface level is no longer an option. Our engineers can load test individual components and workflows during design and development, during integration, and in deployment. Individual functional tests and system-wide business processes are load tested using the same environment, resulting in efficient test coverage, with rich functional and performance metrics and reports.

Ajax Enabled, Cloud Computing and Other Complex Environment Testing: Today's web applications function more dynamically than ever, and accordingly, we now have to change the way we test applications. On the front end, new Web 2.0, Cloud Computing, AJAX and SaaS delivery models are driving more complex RIA functionality into the browser. On the back end, enterprise apps consume services from a variety of business partners, supporting many underlying systems and data sources, which are concealed from the end user. Most of the business logic happens as messages and transactions between back-end systems. We are capable of taking care of these new paradigms.

Enterprise Application Testing Services approach by Mindfire Solutions.

Modular testing to test requirements: The entire application is divided into major functional modules and each of them is tested as a sub-system at Mindfire Solutions. Later a system test confirms that these subsystems work fine when integrated with each other. We also follow this approach to test various business layers in the application.

Unit testing
Regression, Integration and System testing
Business Logic testing
Database Interaction
Interdependencies between various business layers and relational mapping: This is to test that the various layers communicate with each other properly and data flow between these layers is smooth.
UI, usability and dataflow
Compatibility (on various h/w, s/w configurations)
Installation and Deployment: Deployment testing is done by simulating user environment and then doing installation on similar platforms as used by the end user.
Reliability, performance and load tolerance
Recovery and fail-over testing: This test ensures that the system recovers to the last stable state after a fail-over or crash. We also check for data loss or corrupt data during the crash, so that important business data is not lost in such situations.
