Sample Projects: Internet-based HR Firm

• iBeta conducted extensive tests of the site's functionality against a wide variety of operating systems and internet browser combinations to ensure compatibility for the average home user; as the public uses a variety of operating systems and browsers, the tests had to incorporate all combinations and permutations of popular operating system/browser combinations.

• iBeta performed verification of a complex expert system that matched clients to candidates; this kind of testing involved an understanding the base algorithms used in generating the matches.

• While the software coding involved in implementing these matching algorithms, our testing methods stressed carefully engineered sets of data to verify the algorithms and weightings, and to check for proper end-state results.

• Systems do not always respond in the same way under performance-level loads as compared to light functionality testing loads; iBeta used performance testing tools to verify the same level of accuracy experienced in light-duty tests to make sure that large-scale tests that stressed the system produced the same results.

• The system being tested was integrated into a complex network of other enterprise systems. The web-based system being tested interfaced to back-office software and to a company intranet; this required significant post-development integration testing.

• Reliable transfer of data from one completely different system to another was critical to the company's business model; iBeta designed its tests to verify that the data flowing from one system to the next was properly maintained and updated.

• iBeta filled key roles in the client's internal organization to augment their QA capability, including the positions of quality manager and quality director.
