Service Description
Software testing against specific requirements and user stories to validate intended functionality
Functional testing is on-demand offering aimed at validating application functionality against customer software requirements and/or user stories. During functional testing, our skilled applications testers use manual or automated tools to confirm that the functionality of the application is behaving for end users as intended. Manual testing can be provided in conjunction with our automated testing service to help develop a comprehensive regression strategy for your application.
Related Services
This service can be bundled with Application Development & Delivery and Application Operations & Maintenance.
If you are interested in manual testing as a service, consider including automated testing in the scope if needed to help define regression tests.
Customer Responsibilities
Customer is responsible for any costs associated with the purchase of additional hardware or cloud services required for system virtualization or storage of automated tests.
Our standard tools for defect and test management are Azure Test Plans and Azure DevOps. Customers who wish to use alternate tools for this management are responsible for ensuring assigned staff are provided licenses, access and training if needed to use the preferred tools. The customer will assume a portion of license and service fees for any add-on options and tools required to complete that work (e.g., licenses for load testing tools).
Service Notes
Engagements typically end once the MVP (minimum viable product) has been released; if additional support is needed, a new request should be made and will be dependent on resource availability.
