Softheme offers web testing as one of our next-day services. What does this mean? This means that we have our own testing environment installed onsite (working machines, testing systems, etc) and test engineers ready to start at any time. We also provide an access to the defect-tracking system fully set up and ready for work on our side. These conditions let us start working on your project immediately and noticeably accelerate the testing process. Practically, we can start testing a project the next day after a customer’s final decision.
Usually we suggest the following engagement models for web testing projects:
1. Full-cycle testing
Basing on the requirements provided by a customer we develop a test strategy, test plan, test cases (functional, performance, usability, look and feel, and others), and then start with the first iteration of testing. At this point the team executes all required types of testing specified in the test strategy and reports discovered defects to the defect-tracking system on a daily basis. After the first iteration of testing is completed, the team starts regression testing and works in conjunction with the development team – all encountered and fixed defects are retested; all tests are re-run to ensure the functionality works as expected after bug-fixing.

Continuing the topic of software testing, in this post we would like to present you a case study describing a project in which Softheme provided functional and UI testing services to moveme.com, a UK-based web portal.
A new web startup from London, moveme.com, which provides an online moving organizer for home-owners in the UK, turned to Softheme with the need to test their online tool. Since it is the company’s primary business application, they needed the testing to be performed very carefully and within established timeline which was accomplished by Softheme successfully.

It is a matter of fact that bugs cost a lot of money to companies developing different kinds of software products. We at Softheme help these businesses to save their budgets spent on bugs fixing. By virtue of our independent testing service, we assist companies in their product scalability and performance improvement.
Softheme is characterized by providing a flexible, adaptable, speedy, simple and yet thorough approach to testing. Maintaining a partnership spirit with our customers, we develop a roadmap in achieving well-defined goals in regards to test standardization, application quality, business risk, project cost, and time-to-market.
By providing independent testing service, i.e. carrying out testing of the code that has been created by another vendor, Softheme makes it possible to improve the effectiveness of software testing as well as incorporate all testing elements into a comprehensive and dedicated quality assurance program.
The key benefits of independent testing are:
- The tester can see what has been built rather than the developer thought has been built;
- The tester makes no assumptions regarding quality;
- The tester is unbiased.

We thought that when discussing our testing approach it would be unfair if we said nothing about the test specialists at Softheme without whom our success in software testing services would be impossible.
Our test specialists are comprehensively trained as their level should correspond to a level of complexity of the projects tested. At Softheme we implement a training period (11 – 12 months) during which a test specialist studies approaches and standards required to properly and effectively test projects.
During the first three months a test specialist tests modules which functionality is intuitively clear using existing sets of test cases. On this stage a test specialist learns formats of Test Cases and how to report defects.
After that, during the following three months, a test specialist starts creating Test Cases for UI and easy to understand sections of business logic.
