Soft Lucent owns the complete responsibility of software testing of a complex VOIP based enterprise communication system. The testing of this complex system involves domain knowledge of different subsystems like network testing, protocol testing, database testing, Web UI testing and automated testing. Soft Lucent takes pride in the fact that the client has entrusted the complete software testing activities to us. We are responsible for the test management to test execution.

System Testing:
Soft Lucent offers testing solutions to take care of your entire System testing requirements. Be it execution of regression testing or end to end SQA activities, SoftLucent's experience and expertise will rest the worries of Software QA activities off your shoulders. When you outsource your testing needs to us, you can be rest assured that your product is well tested.

In the system testing category, we have various solutions to offer:

Integrated testing solution:
This is our most preferred mode of system testing which relieves the client of all of their testing worries. In this mode, Soft Lucent will take over the complete SQA activities of the application to be tested and own all the responsibilities of testing the application. Soft Lucent will first do a system study of the application to be tested and come up with a test strategy / test planning document. Our engineers will then write manual test cases for the application. When the application is ready to use, we will execute the test cases and report bugs. Once the bugs are fixed, we will verify the fixes. Subsequently, Soft Lucent will continue to keep the test cases updated based on new features / changes to existing features. We will then continue the iteration of executing tests, reporting bugs and verifying fixes. These steps will be repeated for every version of the application.

Soft Lucent can also take up individual parts of system testing as mentioned below:

Test strategy consulting:
We will do a system study of the application and come up with an approach for testing the application. Soft Lucent will also come up with a list of items to be tested and the methodologies to be adopted. The test strategy document, the methodology document and the document describing the list of items to be tested will be delivered to the client.

Test Design:
Take advantage of our rich experience in test case designing to give your product a maximum test coverage. Our engineers will do a system study of the application to be tested and will design test cases for the application and finally validate these test cases. Soft Lucent will hand over the test case documents to the client as the final deliverable

Regression Testing:
In case you already have test cases for your application, Soft Lucent can take up the task of executing these test cases whenever new releases are made. The regression testing can either be a onetime affair or may be repeated for every single software version release

Product Testing Services:
Product development lifecycle is different from a project lifecycle. Obviously the testing of products takes a different meaning when compared to short term project testing. With our long association with products, we understand the pain, pleasure and power of product testing very well and are very well equipped to handle software product testing. Soft Lucent strives to create a long term association with the product. Here Soft Lucent takes over the SQA activities of a product either in entirety or as parts of the product and then owns the day-to-day testing activities of the product. Soft Lucent's rich experience in the field of Product testing lets you outsource your worries about your product's SQA without compromising on the power and flexibility of in-house testing.

Model:
In this model, one senior engineer from Soft Lucent works closely with the developers of the product interacting with them on a day-to-day basis. Soft Lucent also sets up the test bed required at the test lab here at Bangalore working in association with the client. After understanding the working of the system, resources are assigned as virtual owners of different features of the product. Typically, this ownership is constantly rotated and not tied to a particular resource. After a little while, the feature owner transfers ownership to another resource while himself moving on to a different feature.

This sort of a rotation has multi-fold advantages:
- Over a period of time, there are multiple resources who understand the same feature quite well.
- In a reasonably sized product, typically there are enough features so that the resources constantly get to move on from their current task and thus don't get bogged down by the monotony of testing.
- Since at any point of time, one resource completely owns one feature, the same resource wears different hats of a test designer, test executor and eventually test automator. This does a great deal of justice to the feature as there is a lesser likely hood of a disconnect between the various roles.
