Improve the pre-deployment quality of your system
Ideally most of your system's problems are resolved
before you go live and before your customers are impacted. The following
suggestions will improve the quality of your system before it is
deployed. We can assist you with implementing these suggestions
with the ITS services shown in the adjacent column.

| Check for compatibility
issues in all variations of the end user environment: The
increasing number of end user configurations, especially with
Internet applications, means that your functionality should
be tested in many different environments. ITS has developed
special test environments to conduct compatibility testing with
a wide range of hardware and software applications. |

| Conduct end user
testing with your domain experts: The people that know your
business requirements best should be responsible for approving
your business critical applications. ITS has years of experience
in working with end users to plan, design and execute structure
testing. |

| Don't forget to
consider usability issues: With the ease of changing web
based application providers, the level of usability and accessibility
should be reviewed for your application. ITS use a tools based
approach to quickly provide you with some simple metrics against
industry standards to avoid major issues. |

| Know the performance
limits of your system: Poor response times or failed systems
are an important differentiator in today's competitive online
environment. Knowing how your system performs under load, right
up to full capacity is critical. ITS can provide performance
testing using the latest load simulation tools and can assist
with pre-deployment performance tuning to improve performance
and optimise your infrastructure requirements. |
