Functional

All software, whether it’s a website or application, on desktop or mobile device, needs to have basic functionality tested before it is released to the people (or systems) that will use it. Functional testing is however more than just testing the design or requirements have been delivered. It involves testing all the attributes and characteristics of the software and the use of a range of test types.

Test Hats break down the traditional boundaries between Functional & Non-Functional testing, allowing us to deliver a contextually useful mix that’s a best fit for your project.

Security

Every piece of software, every website and web application on any platform, must be secure and security must be considered early on in the project. Security may, for example, simply mean preventing accidental exposure of restricted information on a web site search, but it may also mean preventing cyber criminals from pilfering data that will be used for organised crime.

No matter what you’re developing you must make sure security testing is part of your overall testing regime. The good news is Test Hats take a pragmatic approach to the level of Security testing that is performed. This can be Local System / UI focused right up to full Penetration Testing.

Performance

The best looking software application or website, that is compatible across different platforms, fully secure and well tested – is of no use if it doesn’t perform. Performance can mean the difference between user adoption of your application or it being un-installed, between a growing number or on-line sales or shopping baskets being abandoned with potential customers never returning.

The Test Hats team have performance tested everything from on-line trading systems and music download sites to mobile applications and multi-user CAD packages, so you’re in safe hands.
