BUSINESS CHALLENGES

Verilogue brings patients, physicians, and the healthcare industry together to share information, and its web-based software’s extensive reporting with varying degrees of sensitive information, combined with many business rule scenarios, and access permission schemes leads to numerous test scenarios. These factors combined to present a significant challenge for testing in an agile environment where builds are done daily.

Verilogue needed a Testing and QA company that could provide a dedicated team for normal testing but also supplemented for peaks. They needed a stable team to build up in-depth domain understanding but extra staffing on demand for performance and automation. Having worked with various outsourcers for both testing and development in the past, one of the important criteria in choosing a testing services company was good communication and management processes.

SOLUTION: What it Means to Partner with XBOSoft

Partnering with XBOSoft gave Verilogue access to a wide range of XBOSoft’s software testing solutions and expertise, such as:

  • Platform Compatibility Testing

    Verilogue software is web-based so platform compatibility is becoming more critical as their customer base uses a variety of front-end combinations of operating systems and browsers. Possible platform combinations continue to expand with Chrome, Firefox, and IE now with numerous versions. XBOSoft’s testing lab is fully equipped with a full library of operating systems, databases, application servers, and browsers, giving Verilogue confidence that all possible platforms are covered.

  • Automated Regression Testing

    Verilogue’s uses an agile development methodology so there are new software builds on a daily basis. Each build needs to be regression tested for all base functionalities to ensure that they are not impacted by newer code and that previous defects do not creep back into the build. To handle this problem, XBOSoft assembled a new build every day, notified Verilogue of the changes in each build, and developed automated test suites that executed automatically, reducing the testing manpower needed for each iteration and increasing quality with greater functional and platform coverage. This enabled the manual functional testers to focus on the new features, functionality, and usability.

  • Functional & Acceptance Testing

    XBOSoft built up a broad library of test cases covering each and every function and feature of the software application. Automation scripts were written for any of the test cases where it made sense while others that needed a few pairs of eyes were tested manually.

  • Security Testing

    XBOSoft provided specialized expertise and tools to help Verilogue identify, prioritize, and solve security vulnerabilities on a periodic basis.
