VITAR Selects SQS for Cloud Testing 

Ruby on Rails App Developer SaaS's Application for International Growth Plans

VITAR Software, the Ruby on Rails developer of visitor management applications, has selected SQS Software Quality Systems to provide cloud testing services.

With a view to reducing installation and maintenance costs for its clients, and enable it to market the offering globally, VITAR has developed a SaaS-based version of its core product Vitar Visitor Manager using Ruby and Adobe Flex. The application allows organisations to use a web enabled, low cost Visitor booking application hosted on Amazon's cloud.

As part of the deal, SQS, one of Europe's largest providers of software testing and quality management services will undertake: system testing; integration testing with the payment portal; security testing; cross-browser testing and performance testing.

SQS used its experience of testing in physical and virtual environments to identify the following phases of cloud testing and delivered a set of detailed documented test cases which included System testing, Core product functionality, End-to-end user scenarios, Integration testing between the VITAR site and the payment portal, Security testing, Inter-customer data separation, User data separation within the same customer, Cross-browser testing and Performance testing.

Peter Plant, Group CEO, VITAR Software, explains: "We engaged SQS to provide independence of testing and to mitigate risk through the use of their best practice PractiQ methodology as we couldn't possibly risk having to fix defects in a cloud environment where there's no place to hide."

Derry O'Riordan, Director, SQS Ireland added: "Any defect in a cloud application will affect all users, potentially on a global level, so quality assurance is essential to avoid putting a company's reputation at risk."

SQS has also announced a contract win to provide three years Managed Testing Services for opticians Specsavers. The 50 strong testing team, based mainly in India, will deliver end-to-end testing of business applications from performance through to automated regression test suites.
