Several Test Engineers work for over 5 years to
provide regression-testing services for several commercial release
of the various range of products. To ensure that addition of new
features have not adversely impacted existing features, test plans
are written for each release and automated using customer proprietary
tools.
...
Test execution, automation and maintenance tools used to enhance
the regression tests have resulted in increased productivity thereby
enhancing the quality of the product by capturing defects early.
Verification services have also result in an overall QA cost reduction.

| The true measure of "quality" for software
is an application's ability to effectively support business goals
and operations. In today's computer-oriented business environment—with
business continuity a top priority—software must work. Unfortunately,
application-release decisions are often based solely on budget and
schedule concerns, with no regard to quality. This approach is no
longer sufficient and actually creates additional software-induced
business risks. |
| Cigital Assurance Solutions balance traditional budget-and-schedule
concerns with the need to achieve business-appropriate levels of software
security, reliability and performance by focusing on risk analysis
and software-related metrics. This ensures overall quality within
established budgets and schedules. |
| Ultimately, if software is not designed to be secure,
it is vulnerable to malicious attack from both outside and within
your organization. Cigital Software Security Solutions are based on
a proactive approach to software security, ensuring that software
is built to be secure from the ground up. |
| One popular myth about software security is that it
can be simply "bolted-on" to an existing application by
beefing up the perimeter. This approach, however, leaves applications
vulnerable to infrastructure software failures and insider attacks. |
| Starting with an understanding of business objectives
and security requirements, Cigital Assurance Solutions ensure that
security and reliability are designed into the software and thoroughly
tested and measured throughout the development lifecycle. This not
only decreases the risk of applications being compromised after a
perimeter security breach but also ensures protection against infrastructure
failures and insider attacks. |
