SWAT Lab is a leader in testing
virtualization, and we have included virtualized environments in our
QA testing process. We have built matrixes to test applications in all
of the major virtualized environments, and we are adding new ones as they
become available. With the increased popularity of virtualization, testing in these
environments needs to be a standard requirement for all software testing. SWAT
Lab is fully prepared to meet those needs to insure compatibility with today’s virtual
environments.
Today’s powerful computer hardware
was originally designed to run only a single operating system and a single
application, but virtualization makes it possible to run multiple operating
systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time,
increasing the utilization and flexibility of the hardware. The chances
are high that your application will be deployed in some type of virtualized
environment. It therefore needs to be tested in those environments to insure compatibility.
SWAT Lab applies the same proven QA
methodologies for testing virtualized environments that we have used with
traditional environments for the past 14 years. Utilizing state-of-the-art
configuration management tools, we maximize the range of possible testing
configurations while minimizing the cost to you. The matrix of configurations that is defined
for your testing project will be captured and saved by SWAT Lab, so that we can
easily revert back to a baseline state at a later time for regression testing. The
entire matrix is brought back to base line automatically, insuring consistency
of testing and saving you time and money.
