Moving from development to a live production environment can reveal unexpected problems. 3 Tier Systems' testing process helps to detect potential problems before they reach the production stage.

Web Broswer Testing

In depth compatibility testing is often required for web-based applications. It is vital that an application is tested across different operating systems and browsers. This ensures that applications behave as expected, and that they are available to the greatest number of users. Our expertise in building a variety of test environments guarantees efficient software testing.

3 Tier Systems maintains a large archive containing nearly every web browser that has been released. We even have version 1 of Netscape and Internet Explorer. To ensure the largest deployment possible, 3 Tier Systems tests all projects against versions 4 of Netscape and Internet Explorer up to their latest version. These are tested against various operating systems including Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP; Apple Mac OS 9 and 10; and various Linux distributions.

Usability testing involves identifying and understanding issues or problems that an end user may encounter when working with a product. User testing is, perhaps, the most important part of the testing process, as it ensures that any problems in end quality or course instruction are firmly ironed out before final production.

The project website also becomes very effective at this stage by allowing sample users to test course material - live. 3 Tier Systems has access to a selection of well-rehearsed audiences including schools and teaching professionals who can be involved in this process.
