What does everyone look for in an outsourced service organization? Generally, you look for signs that a company is well-rounded and professional. They must appear to demonstrate to you that they can deliver the services they claim to serve. Specifically, you look for that keen talent and knowledge that tells you that should you hire that organization, you know that they will perform to and exceed your stringent expectations.

If you have software that needs to be tested, and tested thoroughly, you can do no better than Beta Breakers.

Performance / Load Testing:
Need to know how your website will perform under peak load? Our load test engineers are certified in the use of sophisticated stress testing tools designed to tell you the “breaking point” of your servers’ acceptable performance.

Automated Testing:
We have automated test engineers skilled in the use of powerful automated test tools. These tools enable them to write complex test scripts designed to automate parts of the testing process thereby significantly reducing the necessity for manual testing.

Game/Multimedia Testing:
Testing games involves more than just the systematic, formal testing approach that is used for business applications and the like. Games are not as straightforward as business applications. Games are not designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible. Games are not designed to be easy, yet should not be too hard, especially in the beginning. Games should conform to a certain genre of standards and expectations, but should also be creative and different. A game must be much, much more than just “presentable” or “functional” – a game must be fun. Attention must be paid to the game’s adherence to reality, both logically and graphically. Beta Breakers understands all of these points and brings our considerable testing experience to game developers coast-to-coast. Our test engineers will find the flaws in your games whether they are designed to run on PC's or consoles. Hire Beta Breakers and keep those technical support lights out.

Client/Server LAN Driven Applications Testing:
Whether you are developing an application designed to run a basic workgroup or robust multi-level domain environment, assuring your software is compatible with common client/server operating system combinations, networking protocols and network topologies is a must. At Beta Breakers, we have the most popular server operating systems, client operating systems and networking hardware. Backed by years of experience, our industry certified technicians simulate the network environments encountered in today’s marketplace.

Regression Testing:
As the testing effort proceeds, fixes can sometimes lead to new problems. Our regression testing techniques allow us to carefully track both old issues as well as new. We assume nothing. Upon receipt of new project builds, we regress old issues and go over old ground to make sure that new, unexpected bugs do not pop up.

Wireless Applications Testing:
Also included in our full spectrum of quality assurance services is Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) testing. Although still a relatively new technology, Beta Breakers has in our vast library of hardware WAP enabled mobile phones. In an ongoing effort to keep up with today’s technology we also maintain a line of Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) devices and modems.

Test Plan Preparation:
Creating test plan documents can be a formidable task. A test plan must be detailed enough to adequately address all testing considerations, but not overly detailed to the point where it inhibits efficient testing. At Beta Breakers, our staff has created hundreds of test plan documents ranging from simple checklists to complete automated regression harnesses.

Hardware Compatibility Testing:
Does your application require testing to ensure compatibility with a wide range of hardware configurations? Our labs have an extensive collection of PC systems, Apple Macintosh systems, notebook systems, video cards, sound cards, DVD/CD Rom drives, printers and other peripherals. We also have a complete library of driver versions for all of the hardware we use for testing.
