We work closely with customer teams to understand the objectives of implementations, functionality to be tested, integrations and key business processes. Planning activities are typically supported by a structured workshop of relevant stakeholders and technical team members.

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: Prolifics have an established process for testing cloud migrations, which begins with the documentation of an overall strategy for the migration, together with a more detailed test plan that covers the relevant test levels to be carried out, which will likely include data validation, system integration testing, functional / regression testing and user acceptance testing. Our non-functional team are able to perform realistic performance simulations, both pre and post migration, so that response times can be compared, under load. Our expertise is underpinned by tools and in-house accelerators for data validation, test automation and performance testing. We also have expertise and meaningful partnerships with the leading testing tool providers.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Performance is measured by simulating realistic levels of concurrent virtual users on a Cloud service. Users are generated from our infrastructure in the Cloud to represent user journeys and workflows through websites and mobile apps. Our team are experienced with open-source and enterprise performance tools; we guide our customers through the entire process, commencing with a planning workshop to agree scope and working with customer teams and other vendors to identify limitations, bottlenecks and scaling problems. We're able to quickly provide flexible, scalable tests to simulate thousands of users. We provide a real-time secure dashboard for our customers to view tests as they are executed, to speed up troubleshooting and problem solving. Once tests are complete, a test completion report is provided, as well as all scripts created during the tests, for future use, either manually or via automated delivery pipelines. When tests are run as a part of Cloud migrations, we offer performance benchmarking against on-premise systems, so that performance enhancements can be accurately measured.

  Prolifics Testing is actively engaged in reducing the environmental impact of our operations and enhancing our sustainability. We are committed to continuously assessing and reducing the environmental impacts associated with our office activities and training service. We ensure all employees are aware of and understand the environmental consequences of their actions. This awareness drives responsible behaviour within our company. In our testing operations, our team use virtualised testing environments, optimised for size and resources, which are promptly powered down after use, to conserve energy. To reduce travel-related emissions, we have prioritised remote meetings, promoting a digital-first communication culture that significantly cuts down on business travel. In our procurement strategy, we focus on sourcing sustainably and supporting suppliers who adhere to stringent environmental standards. This is part of our broader commitment to sustainable procurement practices. We also encourage remote working to decrease the need for commuting, thereby reducing transportation-related energy consumption. Our office operates on a paperless basis, uses cloud-based applications extensively, and encourages recycling. All non-essential machinery is switched off when not in use to save energy. Additionally, through initiatives like the Cycle to Work Scheme, we support and encourage our employees to choose more sustainable transportation options. We ensure strict compliance with environmental legislation and seek collaborative opportunities with partners to further enhance our environmental stewardship. By implementing these practices, Prolifics Testing is committed to leading by example in the technology industry, ensuring that our operations contribute positively towards a sustainable future.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Prolifics Testing is deeply committed to addressing economic inequality through our ongoing partnership with the Help a Poor Child (HAPC) charity. Established in 1980 by Derrick Pereira, our Head of Testing Practice, HAPC has dedicated itself to alleviating the hardships faced by extremely deprived children. These children often lack basic necessities such as education and food, suffer from endemic diseases, and are forced into labour at a young age due to severe economic and social conditions. In alignment with our core values of social responsibility, Prolifics Testing staff actively participate in supporting HAPC. Our team's involvement goes beyond financial donations; they contribute their time and effort to various fundraising activities, demonstrating a profound commitment to making a difference. Whether it’s volunteering at the charity’s Gala Ball, manning fundraising stalls, or packing essential supplies for schools in The Gambia, our employees embody a spirit of generosity and solidarity. This hands-on approach not only aids in gathering crucial resources but also ensures they are delivered effectively, demonstrating our dedication to not just supporting but actively participating in the fight against economic inequality. Through these efforts, Prolifics Testing hopes to provide a tangible improvement in the lives of these vulnerable children.

  Equal opportunity

  Prolifics Testing is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace through the rigorous enforcement of our Equal Opportunities Policy. This policy clearly outlines the responsibilities of all employees and strictly prohibits any form of direct or indirect discrimination. By setting firm guidelines for recruitment, advertising, and staff selection processes, we ensure that appointments are made fairly, based solely on job requirements and individual qualifications. This dedication to equality not only enriches our corporate culture but also enhances the quality of our workforce. In addition to our commitment to equal opportunity, we place a strong emphasis on the professional development of our employees. Prolifics Testing provides comprehensive training programmes that include industry-recognised qualifications, equipping our team with the skills necessary for their roles. We also offer continuous development opportunities, which allow employees to engage in high-profile projects and gain experience with popular industry tools. This approach not only supports our staff's career growth but also ensures that we can maintain and elevate the high standards of service that our clients expect.

Our partnership with Bupa provides private healthcare to all staff members, providing access to top-tier medical services, including dental care. Our commitment to wellness extends beyond healthcare provision. We issue monthly wellness newsletters curated by our dedicated HR team, which provide valuable tips and guidance on utilising employee support services effectively. In collaboration with Cigna, we also host quarterly wellness webinars. These sessions cover essential topics such as stress management and work-life balance, reinforcing our holistic approach to employee health. This dedication to fostering a supportive environment is acknowledged through a Silver level Healthy Workforce designation from Cigna. To encourage an active lifestyle among our team, we organise the Global Fitness Challenge. This six-week program promotes friendly competition and fitness tracking, open to all employees. Participants can use compatible devices to track their progress, and they stand a chance to win prizes, further motivating engagement and healthy living. We also offer a Cycle to Work scheme. Additionally, we ensure continuous personal and professional development through Prolifics University. This platform provides comprehensive training and resources, supporting our employees' growth. All team members are encouraged to engage in training as part of their periodic appraisal reviews at the 3-6-9-12 month intervals, with resources available both online and in-person. Progress is meticulously tracked via our staff portal, ensuring that each employee has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
