Quality Assurance Consulting

Quality Assurance is more than simply trying out the software to make sure it works. Rather, it is guaranteeing the integrity of your mission critical business systems. Comprehensive, controlled testing requires careful planning, a controlled environment, measurable and repeatable test criteria, and the latest advances in automated scripting techniques. From load testing to end-to-end integration testing with Mercury Interactive, ISO 9000 to Capability Maturity Model, we're experts at ensuring that your mission critical systems perform as expected.

Test Planning & Management

Quality Assurance is the most overlooked and underestimated phase of the software development lifecycle, yet it is arguably the most important. The idea that Quality Assurance is the last rubberstamp on an application prior to delivery is long dead; effective QA has to begin on the first day of the project.

Study after study has proven that effective QA is one of the best ways to accelerate ROI on software development projects. WinMill can show you how. From requirements analysis through test planning, unit test, integration and system test, regression and load test, defect tracking, version management and ultimately post-production support, WinMill can help you to structure a QA program that will pay for itself many times over.

Regression and Load Testing Suites

The most expensive defect in software applications is the one that isn't identified until the application is in production.

Everyone knows that good regression and load testing can find most defects before an application is deployed. But when is the right time to build a regression test suite, and how many functions should be tested? How often should it be run? How do you reset your test data, so you know you are comparing apples to apples? What load is a "good load", and how do we ensure that you are really stressing the right points of the system? What tools should you use to build your suites?

Let WinMill help you to answer these questions, and to help you build high-quality test suites that ensure your applications perform. Before they get released.

You may not have heard of on-line travel agency National Leisure Group, but if you've ever booked a vacation package on-line, you have probably used NLG systems built by WinMill. NLG systems power the Cruise and Vacation Package components of every prominent on-line travel site including Yahoo!, Expedia, Lycos, Priceline and Orbitz.

When the American Federation of Musicians and Employers’ Pension Fund (AFM & EPF) decided to replace their core pension processing application, they knew it was a massive undertaking. They had contracted a vendor to build the new system, but given their own limited staff size and workload, needed help in managing the vendor and the overall project. They called WinMill Software.
