The best laid plans can go awry

alt

 

In business, as in life, even the best laid plans can go

awry. You may have the best software architects and

developers working on your project, but nothing can

prepare you for the reality of running your business

with real customers, and the problems that may arise.


Over a systems lifetime it will be stretched to its

limits: server, network and client bottlenecks;

traffic throughput and volume overload; hardware

limits and software weak spots: you name it,

they're all issues that can put your business at risk.

Once I had the test results, it gave me great confidence to confirm to our partners that our infrastructure would cope on the launch
day. 

-Andy Dean, Managing Director,
Music Technology Ltd

The implications can be huge

The implications of software failing to perform to specification can be huge – loss of reputation

and loss of customer loyalty leading to lost revenues.Your business will stand or fall based on

whether you are ready to meet head-on the challenges of running your operations in real-time.


StarBase is your first defence against software performance problems. We offer a full

performance test of your software utilising a dedicated team of consultants to identify potential

problems and ultimately help you to be launch-ready. We utilise our understanding of client

objectives, skilled project management and close analysis to deliver outcomes that you

can rely on.


The solution is easy enough: deal with nasty surprises by performance testing before going live.

Often known as stress testing, volume testing or load testing, performance testing simulates the

rigours of post-launch operation at the pre-launch stage. Our tests are truly representative of the

complex demands of real users - delivering consistent, repeatable and measurable results.


Early identification of your issues and concerns is the first step towards guaranteeing success.

StarBase has developed a way of working that allows you to tailor our services to your specific

needs.


1.    If you have an application about to go live and need to be sure it will perform to

specification, let us EVALUATE your software to give you the assurance you need.


2.    You’re at the start of a major application development effort and know testing needs to be

integrated into the project from the start. Designing and developing the processes and scripts,

dovetailing them into a complex project and working collaboratively across your project team to

ensure the application performs to specification is  what our comprehensive INVESTIGATION

service is all about


3.    If you know what you want and you just need some skilled resource we can provide a highly

skilled and experienced Performance ENGINEER who is far more than just another pair of hands.


4.    Your company may be running a large operation that is constantly expanding and upgrading,

requiring a bespoke service that reflects your needs as they transpire. Check out the

Performance  FACTORY, where we can set up a structured production line of testing services  for

you  that can be tailored to meet the challenges each modification brings, and can be scheduled

at multiple intervals throughout the year.


Whatever stage you’re at, performance testing will help to ensure your business succeeds. Let

StarBase provide the knowledge gained from 20 years in the business to protect your company

and get you off to the best possible start.
