Mobile App Testing
Most of the software development firms leverage mobile platforms to unveil their technology competency and promptness to capture the market share. Mobile platform is a new frontier for the business sustainability, growth and brand distinctiveness. But innovation of technologies brings many testing needs and challenges that suggest ways to Mobile Apps Testing.
Especially on the Mobile platform, software development and testing will be like two peas in a pod. Certainly not undermining the development effort here but goal of testing should be aligned with the quality of offerings.
Compatibility Issues
- Compatibility Issue is a critical QA task that ensures the product/software application executes as desired across a broad set of user/client systems and configurations. Proliferation of browsers, operating systems and devices to ensure that all their software is rendered as intended across these platforms and to prevent expensive bugs/errors entering production/field/market.
Devices
- Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Blackberry, HTC, iPad, Samsung Tab to name a few
Platforms
- Various Combinations of browsers and Operating Systems. Browsers: all versions of Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera Operating Systems: Windows, iOS, Android, Symbian
Devops Testing
DevOps has been already adopted by global 2000 companies in order to build more fail-proof software within a short span of time by purely collaborating with all stakeholders. Even Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are gradually embracing DevOps standards to take advantage of cross-functional skills and accelerate test cycle time.
Test Automation is emerging as a major part of a successful DevOps implementation and this trend will exponentially grow in the coming years. An IP-driven testing framework like iSAFE/iMobi can be the bulwark on which the development, testing and operations teams can integrate more seamlessly, as it provides one key feature needed when handling such a comprehensive environment – Traceability.
Our team can configure and execute CI Tools such as Jenkins | TeamCity | Travis CI |Go CD | Bamboo | Gitlab CI | Circle CI | Codeship | Agile GO | Buildbot | Cruise Control | Hudson and Microsoft TFS. Also our automation tool expertise spans across UFT, Selenium, SilkTest, TestComplete, Ranorex, etc. In addition, our customers enjoy the great deal of IP led DevOps QA solutions, which are highly customizable and portable automation frameworks (iSAFE and iMobi) for all web and mobile applications.

Big Data Testing
The incredible eruption in the IT urge, data volumes, velocities and varieties have created intensified concerns over how to guarantee quality across the big data & data analytics ecosystem.
meticulous testing approach is essential to offer impeccable quality in big data & data analytics testing. Photon will intensify your testing speediness, improve your testing exposure (up to 100%), and increase the level of excellence within your Big Data store.
With the increasing challenge of storage, processing, and accessing the data, Photon understands that Big Data testing is hard to do without the right tools and technologies.
Data Integration Testing
- Source System Extraction Completeness & Correctness
- Data Quality (Both Business and Technical) Completeness and Correctness
- Transformations Completeness & Correctness
- Subject Area Load Completeness & Correctness
Data Repository Testing
- Subject Area Load Completeness and Correctness
- Referential Integrity
Analytic Layer Testing
- Correctness: Each Analytic Report/Adhoc Environments should be Tested
- Look and Feel of the information
- Drill-Path Verification
- Regression Testing requires particular focus on Enhancement and Maintenance Efforts.
Cloud Testing
Today, most firms choose to migrate to Cloud Computing. It helps them to focus on their core business instead of worrying about the investment and maintenance cost of their IT infrastructure. By doing this, IT leaders have realized a lot of agility to their business. Effective provisioning of IT systems and services is a key element of cloud computing..
Interoperability testing, Security testing and Performance testing of applications in cloud environment should be at the top of data center’s pre-release checklist. Photon’s expertise in Testing applications hosted in cloud helps to drive higher RoI, reduce test cycle time and minimize risks. Photon’s robust Test Automation Framework helps achieve these parameters.
A bottom-up approach to functional testing. A complete end to end testing of the various features of the application
Photon’s Key Service offering around Cloud based applications testing
- Facilitates innovation and faster time to market by significantly bringing down regression testing cycle time.
- Improve scalability & response time of application in a shared environment. Help IT leadership to make right environment capacity planning decision.
- Keep costs low with an offshore leveraged model – Catalog driven transaction based pricing model.
Database Testing
Pertaining to database, rushing a data warehouse into service without comprehensive testing becomes one of the greatest risks while administering an Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) system. Photon’s ETL testing process meticulously assures the quality starting from validating the data required and data sources to reports testing (drill down/drill through).
Photon techno by evaluating and identifying any differences, makes sure that the data mined from data sources rests intact in the target data warehouse.

Testing
ETL Testing Approach includes
- Dedicated Test Lab – Comprehensive tool sets, jumpstart kits, tele/video conference
- Prepare, execute and assist in automating test scripts – use the latest tools & frameworks (leverages open source tools as well)
- QoQ improvement in % automation and improved re-usability
- Vulnerability scanning – leveraging a tool for identifying inherent vulnerabilities in applications
- Architecture validation from a performance engineering stand point
- Performance diagnostics and bottlenecks identification
Packaged Application Testing
In earlier times, most of the IT firms did not identify testing as an independent role during the implementation of the custom off the shelf software (COTS) product. To fit in business needs, packaged/enterprise applications undergo comprehensive customization during implementation, resulting in an increase in testing efforts to maintain quality and validate business specifications.
Some of the Key Testing Challenges of COTS Applications
- Migration and Modernization Issues
- Interoperability and Integration Issues
- Compatibility Issues
- Black Box Base tests on business processes used in the real world environment.
- Lack of Functional & Technical Requirements
Social Media Testing
Most firms today leverage social networks like Facebook & other online networks for delivering their products/services. This is an emerging vertical that Photon techno has been actively building its QA competencies around Social Media Business Solutions in the past couple of years especially around platforms such as Facebook and devices around Android and iOS.
