Ideally most of your system’s problems are resolved before you go live and before your costomers 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.
