Testing and Quality Assurance Services
CSG conducts stress testing within web farm environments, coordinates application performance reviews and test plans that identify test approach/scenarios and resources to complete testing. Test plans include: stress testing applications independently and collectively at projected peak volumes with other high usage applications in the web farm environment.

A stress test analysis report identifying tests performed and performance results, including recommendations for remediation, is prepared for each application. We provide coordination assistance with application development staff, database administrators and hosting to ensure performance tuning has been completed prior to new applications being deployed into the production environment. Applications must be stress tested again when significant modifications are made or tuning is advised to verify performance has not been impacted by the modification(s). Test results are documented by test cycle.

Our expertise includes:
  • Stress Testing
  • Configuration Management
  • Software Installation/Configuration
  • Stress Lab Procedure Documentation
  • Test Plan Documentation
  • Test Execution/Analysis
  • Test Results Documentation
