Enterprise Application Testing Overview

Enterprise application testing is critical for software that runs business organizations. It involves dividing the application into modules that are tested individually and together. Various types of testing are used, including functionality, performance, usability, integration, and regression testing. Properly testing enterprise applications ensures high quality, expected functionality, faster installation and launch, high load tolerance, consistent performance, and reliable security. Enterprise applications are often designed to integrate with other business software and be deployed across networks while meeting security requirements. They may be developed in-house or outsourced to application service providers and cloud computing is also increasingly used.

Enterprise Application Testing

Posted ON 27 Jun

Definition
An enterprise application (EA) is a large software system platform designed to operate in a
corporate environment such as business or government. EAs are complex, scalable,
component-based, distributed and mission critical. An EA software consists of a group of
programs with shared business applications and organizational modeling utilities designed
for unparalleled functionalities. EAs are developed using enterprise architecture.
EA software is a critical component of any computer-based information system. It ultimately
enhances efficiency and productivity through business level support functionality.
Testing is a critical aspect and we understand the criticality and importance of testing
Enterprise applications, which run as backbones to many profitable business organizations
across many industries. Increasingly, enterprise testing has become harder to execute not
for lack of tools, but due to the complexities of processes and transaction data density.
Testing Approach

 Modular testing to test requirements: The entire application is divided into major
functional modules and each of them is tested as a sub-system. Later a system test
confirms that these subsystems work fine when integrated with each other.
 Regression, Integration and System testing
 Usability Testing
 Performance Testing
 Functionality Testing
 Business Logic testing
 Database Interaction
 Interdependencies between various business layers and relational mapping: This is to
test that the various layers communicate with each other properly and data flow
between these layers is smooth.
 UI, usability and dataflow
 Compatibility (on various h/w, s/w configurations)
 Installation and Deployment: Deployment testing is done by simulating user
environment and then doing installation on similar platforms as used by the end user.
 Reliability, performance and load tolerance
 Recovery and fail-over testing: This test ensures that the system recovers to the last
stable state after a fail-over or crash. It is always a good practice to prepare an
effective bug report. Fixing a bug depends on how effectively you prepare your bug
report.

Advantages of Enterprise Application Testing

 Enterprise Application is of High Quality.


 Enterprise Application Software delivers what is expected.
 Faster Installation.
 Quicker Launch.
 High Load Tolerance
 Better User Interaction.
 Consistent Performance.
 Faster failover during interruptions.
 Compatible on different hardware/software configurations
 Reliable Integrity and Authentication.
 Higher assurance of security.
 A shorter time to market.

Integration and Deployment


Enterprise applications are typically designed to interface or integrate with other enterprise
applications used within the organization, and to be deployed across a variety of networks
(Internet, Intranet and corporate networks) while meeting strict requirements for security and
administration management. Proprietary enterprise applications are usually designed and
deployed in-house by a specialized IT development team within the organization. However,
an enterprise may outsource some or all of the development of the application, and bring it
back in-house for deployment.
Application Service Providers (ASP)
Nowadays, using enterprise application service providers (ASP) is more prevalent. In this,
the enterprise application is designed by a third-party application service provider and leased
to the enterprise, as an on premise or hosted service. This is also often referred to software-
as-a-service (SaaS) or Web-based applications. Another trend in enterprise applications is
the move to cloud computing, where the enterprise moves some or its entire infrastructure to
the cloud – a type of Internet-based computing, where services are delivered to an
organization’s computers and devices through the Internet as an on-demand service. Some
enterprises may also choose a hybrid solution where cloud applications are integrated with
on premise systems.
