With 25 years of testing, consulting, and training experience, STaRRS has the expertise to ensure that your software solution works, consistently and continually. We deliver the testing support you need to help you optimize your business, using state-of-the-art automated testing tools from software companies such as Segue Software, Rational Software, and AutoTester Inc. Our expert test engineers allow you to concentrate on what you do best-developing software and implementing solutions. Comprehensive support: we provide testing services for anything from a simple Windows 95 desktop to a complex multivendor, multiplatform configuration. Web-based testing Internet and intranet, customer transactions and in-house communications-the Web has become the platform of choice for many businesses. We ensure that your Web-based application is accessible using different browsers and that it functions consistently and accurately as both the application and the technology evolve. Client/server testing Client/server systems grow more complex every day. It's typical to find you've got a suite of software applications-all with different platforms and from different vendors-that need to interact to keep your business running. Our client/server testing makes sure that these disparate elements all work together now and in the future, despite their independent development environments, schedules, and version updates. Testing is our business. We'll find the problems so you can fix them before they adversely affect your ability to do business. Functional testing It's not enough to have a killer app; you need to be confident that it will do what it's supposed to. We test your application to make sure that it operates correctly and consistently over time. Regression testing Change is inevitable. And nowhere more so than in the world of software applications and computer technology. With the trickle- down effect, one small change can lead to one large problem, maybe even bring your business to a halt. STaRRS can make sure that doesn't happen, by developing an automated testing solution to ensure that successive versions continue to operate the way you expect them to. Reliability testing The Web provides a constantly changing, dynamic user interface. We can design, automate, and execute test cases that validate your Web application's functionality on an ongoing basis. We offer a variety of specialized services to meet your needs. Consulting Your testing objectives are unique, and we can tailor solutions that help you achieve them. You choose the test planning support you want; we'll develop a test strategy and determine what you need to produce and execute a high quality test plan based on the resources and priorities of your organization. Training We deliver individually tailored classroom training at your site, taught by experienced instructors with broad industry experience. Classes include "The Fundamentals of Testing" and "Year 2000 Testing Concepts," and are designed to provide you with the foundation you need for further testing work. Problem Tracking & Reporting (PTR) The earlier you pinpoint problems with your software, the sooner you can fix them. Compaq's Problem Tracking & Reporting (PTR) capability allows your product developers to track and manage problems throughout the product life cycle, thereby significantly reducing time to market and the direct costs associated with software development. And, since PTR is Web-based, developers worldwide can access the system easily, reliably, and securely using their favorite Web browser. Custom CDs If you need a CD with content unique to your organization, including software and documentation in combination with older versions, then our custom CD-ROM offering can solve your problem. We'll create the initial CD-ROM master for replication, or we can provide just replication services. And we can do it fast! Let us validate the scalability and load response of your Web and database applications before deployment. Load and stress testing E-Commerce and the use of Web applications across the Internet and within corporate intranet environments are growing at a phenomenal rate. Our Web and client/server solution testing experts provide the experience and top industry test tools to simulate real-life workloads and traffic to determine the scalability and the reliability of your enterprise Web and client/server applications.
