As an API, the component does not need to be rebuilt dependent on the channel of access. Whether you are building your own APIs or trying to integrate with APIs, the goal of proper communication must succeed if software dependent on that API is to succeed.
Functional Testing - Automation
What is about?
Functional software testing essentially makes sure the software works the way you wanted it to when you set out to develop or purchase a software solution. This approach requires efficiency, so to make the most of our time we’ve incorporated automated testing into our process. Every small update to the app or software won’t require dozens of manpower hours to test before launch.
Test automation helps in reducing regression testing time and cutting down the time to market with significant cost savings on a long-term basis. However, a clear automation strategy and roadmap are key to ensuring the right return on investment on your automation initiatives.

Installation Testing
What is about?
Its main purpose is to validate the given software product to see if it can be correctly installed in a specified system environment with proper system configurations and running conditions.
This type of testing is performed to ensure that all Installed features and functions properly. It is also verify that all necessary components of the application are, indeed, installed.
This also tests all the user setup options (full, typical and custom), navigational buttons (Next, Back, Cancel, etc), and user input fields to ensure that they function properly and yield the expected result.
Challenges Faced
- Can the software be properly installed on all specified system configurations?
- On the specified system configuration environment, can the software be successfully installed under each of the validated running conditions?

Regression Testing
What is about?
Regression testing is a significant type of software testing that tests whether the existing & old functionality of a software or application is responding properly or not. The main purpose of regression is to find bugs, which were introduced accidently while performing new modification & changes in the system. This type of software testing is extremely advantageous, as it increases the chances of detecting errors & bugs, which further improves the functioning & quality of the product. This testing ensures the data integrity & validation after the errors have been fixed and it helps understand the requirements and specifications of the application or the software system. This regression testing assists with quality oriented product development with required modifications.
Challenges Faced
While regression testing is a vital element of the Test/QA process, there are a number of challenges it brings.
Time Consuming: Regression testing can take a lot of time to complete. Regression testing often involves running existing tests again so testers might not be overly enthused at having to re-run tests.
Complex: Another thing to consider here is that as products get updated, they can grow quite complex causing the lists of tests in your regression pack to grow to a huge amount.
Communicating Business Value: Regression testing ensures existing product features are still in working order. Communicating the value of regression testing to non-technical leaders within your business can be a difficult task. Executives want to see the product move forward and making a considerable time investment in regression testing to ensure existing functionality is working can be a hard sell.
What we can offer
SO Testing’s team skills allow us to functionally determine when to terminate testing after detecting all adhesive risks. We also have a fundamental way to stimulate the releases of systems under test. Our methods of testing are executed early in the development process, which assist us in tackling discrepancies that might occur in the software.

AppSec Testing
What is about?
AppSec testing is becoming industry standard tool for Risk and Security Assessment. You can simulate environments and scenarios through Penetration testing to identify possible vulnerabilities. With different tools and practices, organizations can reduce the chances for any possible attack by a malicious user on any communication layer i.e. application, hardware or network.
Threats tend to occur where security officers expect them the least. Naturally, an intruder won’t spend months trying to force a well-locked door, but will look for weak points and vulnerabilities in those information systems where security isn’t a priority. The combination of negligence and seemingly minor vulnerabilities may end up with serious consequences and lead to the system being compromised. The acknowledged way to reduce such risks is to employ penetration testing.
To prevent your organization from possible breaches and reinforce existing security controls against a skilled attacker, ScienceSoft’s team offers penetration testing services based on a custom plan of a multistep attack that targets custom network infrastructure and applications.
Whether you’re building or buying software for your organization, your biggest concern should be security. Today’s security challenges lie in the fact that the digital attack surface has gotten a lot bigger. With our comprehensive security testing solutions, you’ll at least know how a cyberattack could be coming at you, and what can be done to stop it.
Security testing has become an absolutely critical part of an organization’s development strategy. This is due to the increase in the number of privacy breaches that organizations are facing today. In order to be able to effectively address our client’s security testing needs, we adopts the latest industry standards and testing methodologies.
Challenges Faced
- Identify all points of entry to your system, including files, sockets, hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests, named pipes, pluggable activities protocol handlers, malicious server responses, and so on.
- Determining the Security testing coverage
- Determining what kind of Security testing is required
- Understanding difference between Security testing, penetration testing and vulnerability scanning
- Determining the risk associated with disclosure of sensitive data and failure of the system

Cyber Security Testing
- Information assets are the key behind any business’ success. Security breaches can lead to a business debacle resulting in lost customers, damaged repute and high costs of legal and recovery processes. Large development teams and lack of documentation is a deadly combination, and almost always leads to security flaws in applications. And since most financial applications are developed on their proprietary framework, the problem is exaggerated even more.
Cloud Security Assessments
- Corporate businesses are shifting towards cloud due to the benefits in form of reduced cost, software and hardware independence, task automation, increased flexibility and high availability. But along with these benefits, you simply cannot ignore the threats involved that impacts confidentiality, privacy, integrity, availability and compliance to regulations. The risks landscape is far bigger in Cloud as compared to the traditional IT infrastructures.
Security And Risk Assessment Services
- Are you concerned about your business security threats and want to know the risks involved? With rapidly evolving technology, new threats are mushrooming every day and organizations knowledge base around their threat scenarios are often left obsolete. It is imperative that an organization has a robust and impenetrable IT architecture to support various technological implementations as well as securing vital information. The global outreach of businesses require state of the art networks and architectures that are secure on both local and wide area. A strong foundation is established and supported through a combination of security products, secure computing environment and well thought out policies.
Audit, Assurance And Implementation
- Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Planning are the vital activities for any critical business operation. No way any thriving business can afford disruptions or disasters. Imagine, what happens with the failure of Information Systems supporting operations in Banks, Call Centers, IT Companies, Internet Service Providers, Broadcasting Agencies, Government, Hospitals or Services Industry ? Severe financial losses, disrupted activities, lost data, discontinued services, unsatisfied clients, disappointed users, damaged repute and the list goes on.
Performance & Load Testing
What is about?
Performance is an essential part of the user experience for the vast numbers of users who expect “good performance” from their applications when using a variety of fixed and mobile platforms. Performance issues can slow down responses, or cause deny service.
Our performance testing process evaluates software under conditions of extreme traffic or usage to ensure you know the new system’s limits. Any clear bottlenecks will reveal themselves during the examination and can be addressed before launch. Don’t wake up to find you’re the newest trending Twitter hashtag for all the wrong reasons: put your software through testing while you still have the opportunity.
Performance testing plays a critical role in establishing acceptable quality levels for the end user and is often closely integrated with other disciplines such as usability engineering, performance engineering. When approaching peak capacity, things may process incorrectly. When end users become frustrated, they abandon online sites and mobile apps and publicize their dissatisfaction. More importantly, your online revenue drops due to the lost business. And it is all preventable, whether the cause is a memory leak, a lengthy SQL query, a simple resource problem, or a mobile QoS problem that maybe has more to do with latency, jitter or packet loss. Consistently simulating load conditions is best achieved through automation, which is well-designed for handling test variables such as number of users, data volume and traffic loads, possibly while weaving in different telephony call flow

What we can offer
This service includes Load Testing, Stress Testing, Volume Testing, Soak Testing, Spike Testing, Scalability Testing and Web Service Performance Testing.
We check system behavior under a set of expected load variations that help identify a number of connections the system can handle while delivering a certain response time. We also detect system bottlenecks and determine which system element is causing them. With exceedingly high remedial costs, it has become even more critical to determine how well a product can perform under stress, ranging from 100 to 100,000+ concurrent users per minute.
We will follows a comprehensive and straightforward approach towards grasping your product’s performance needs and identifying any performance bottlenecks impacting your business. Our team of performance analysts, architects, system engineers, and developers work together to tweak and tune the system to remain powerful and stable.
We identify the maximum operating capacity the system can handle in terms of extreme load. Then we check whether it will perform sufficiently if the current load goes above the expected maximum. This helps to plan the potential outrages that can result in new system connections.
SO Testing measures the capability of a system to scale as more load is applied to it. We help to understand at which point the system stops scaling and identify the reasons for this. Results of scalability testing can be used to plan for future growth and avoid over-investment in hardware.
SO Testing checks whether the system remains stable over an extended time span (including 24/7 operation). This helps evaluate the risk of downtime to plan maintenance activities.
