The Basics of Infrastructure Testing
Software development not only requires extensive research and optimization, it’s also critical to test the infrastructure to ensure that processes are functioning as they should. Quality, adaptability, accessibility, and performance should all be evaluated during the testing process. Busco Engineering provides full-service testing development for a wide range of software infrastructures. Our team can develop a series of comprehensive tests to identify potential defects or issues found in hardware, software, or networks. Developing an effective practice for testing infrastructure will also help minimize the costs associated with unidentified risks.
Common Types of Infrastructure Testing
Infrastructure testing will vary depending on the overall objective. Here are just a few examples of the infrastructure testing methodologies we can develop:
Data migration: Testing is needed when data are transferred between two servers or migrated to another configuration. This process includes testing the application and servers before and after the migration. The goal is to verify that the data migration hasn’t caused any impact to the system.
Network-level: This type of testing is performed to identify and manage issues on the network level, such as server downtime or system configuration.
Cloud: Virtual servers are often used to store data, so it’s important to test the performance of a variety of applications in a cloud environment. Testing on the cloud will evaluate the application’s installation and browser compatibility.
Server/client: Testing the quality of operating systems, hardware, servers, and desktops helps to confirm that the infrastructure’s performance is optimized during production. This method will also test browser compatibility and the installation or uninstallation of the application.
