Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: Our approach takes a data first approach. We ensure that the current state ('as is') and future state ('to be') data models are validated against the domain data model. Then, we create a detailed mapping of data between the current and future systems. This mapping is validated against the import and export API capabilities of each system.
• 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: Any form of software created specifically for a client would be using a ‘test-driven’ development, where developers assess some form of business logic or UI logic via a ‘unit test’. The aim is to setup a deliberate initial failure, adjust the function and ensure a pass, prior to submitting that portion of code for review. This ensures a test exists, is specific for that function, confirmed failure and finally a confirmed pass. Additional inputs for a test maybe required, to ensure that unexpected inputs, do result in superficially acceptable outputs, e.g., mathematically based functions have additional test input of -1, 0 and 1 included against that test, to ensure that numeric outputs are either prevented or not breaking execution.
