Software Quality Assurance

Millennium understands that well established quality control activities and systems are crucial in assuring customers that the services they receive meets their needs. This is the foundation on which all software quality assurance models are based. Millennium’s software testing services are flexible, cost-effective and guaranteed to meet our customers’ demands of time and quality. Our testing procedures encompass all activities, including design, development, production, installation, servicing and documentation.

Our Quality Assurance team is trained and equipped to evaluate test applications manually or by using automated test tools. Outsourcing testing to a specialist allows you to mitigate seemingly critical risks to your business. It also gives you the following advantages:

• Functional coverage in testing
• Potential cost benefits from implementing a global delivery model in testing (onsite/offshore)
• Objectivity, rigour and transparency in test execution and reporting
• Realistic estimation of test efforts
• Benefits of proven best practices and superior testing processes and methodologies
• Productivity gains from appropriate test automation and deployment of trained testers
• Considerable reduction in business users' time and involvement

Our clients in the United States benefit from the time difference between the US and India. The completed work sent for testing at the end of a business day in the US are downloaded and tested by our offshore testing team in India. The programming team in US can view the results of the testing when they login to their systems the next morning.

Manual Testing

We believe that each project is unique in its characteristics and challenges. The automatic tools available may not necessarily have the capacity to perform thorough testing of product competencies. For this reason, we create specialized teams for each project. Our highly experienced project specialists evaluate each project on its specific merits and expectations.
