Integration Services
Using the SPG4 process, SPG provides evaluation of all test documents.
If your company is lacking in resources for hardware/software integration and test, SPG can provide Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) efforts on a short or long period as needed.
Provide Integration of Components Testing (White-box)
- Based on the amount of test planning, and design documentation, SPG can perform:
- testing on groups of components or subsystems, gradually building up to a completed product or
- provide incremental testing of feature groups building up to final complete user-oriented testing.
- Provide Completed Product Testing (Black-box)
- Given the final product and test plans or procedures, SPG can perform:
- testing oriented to satisfying user requirements, or system requirements; and
- prepare and deliver interim and final test reports as requested.
Frees the project from dedicating inexperienced integrators/testers to find defects.
- Provides advanced, objective testing expertise to help the project deliver a more mature product.
- Provides temporary assistance where needed rather than requiring the project to hire full-time staff.
On-site using your company resources or possibly at ours, SPG can provide:
- limited or extensive integration and test activities;
- white-box or black-box, or a combination;
- the atmosphere of independence;
- operate as an Independent Verification & Validation contractor, using requirements specifications, user's guide, and test procedures;
- defect reporting can be done using a variety of methods: from the developer's tracking tools to SPG's own database.
This testing requires the most complete test procedures and user's manuals, since the approach of independence requires little knowledge of the underlying architecture and design. Based on detailed documentation, SPG performs: the verification of requirements, validation of the user's documents, and provide a finished report.
I also wrote it as a separate application in C# to see the code differences. You can get to the C# version here.
