But our exposure to other popular automation tools gives us the edge to provide you with the best test automation solutions ranging from open-source, mid-range, and enterprise level test automation tools.
We offer a wide range of test automation services that are built on the following principles: Speed, Repeatability, Reusability, Ease of Use, and Cost-effective license utilization approach.
Avoid the pitfalls of test automation; get to know our test automation services.
Tools Selection Services
We know for a fact that license cost is pricey not to mention the annual maintenance fee that goes with some of the brands. And since most of the tools have their own set of strengths and limitations, it is wise to check them properly and ensure that it fits your needs and your budget.
CheQ can help you select the best tool by working with you closely in the evaluation and sizing of your requirements. We can help you in defining the selection criteria by analyzing your test requirements, applications, platforms, as well as your timelines. We will also assess your capabilities and expertise to find something that will not require rigorous training and capability building.
We can then identify the needed features and capabilities and then rank your options and even help you arrange a proof of concept activities with different tool vendors out there. We do this as a third-party expert by validating POCs results with full transparency between you and the vendors. We also don’t limit our selections to the popular brands. Who knows, a free-open source or a low cost mid-range may be enough to suit your needs.
There are too many options out there, but you have to be careful. We have seen tools stocked in the shelves due to poor selections. Don’t let this happen to you, contact us and we will help you find the right fit.
Tools Customization
Tools are just tools. It aids our testing processes. It should not dictate or be intrusive with proven workflows and methodologies but rather to improve efficiencies. Out of the box, most of the tools have built-in workflows that are sometimes inadequate or too much for your testing processes. While some needs integration with your existing enterprise or development tools.
Testers are there to test your applications and not work on tools. Let us help you with the integration and customization requirements.
In example, HP Quality Center – has a customizable workflow and customizable API. You will be amazed on how we can help you align QC workflows to your processes. Improve notification, improve dashboard metrics and data, create custom fields to deliver the information or your quality checklist, enhance database, improve back-up and restore, enhance collaboration, and so on.
There are also tools that need integration with your existing collaboration tool, development tool, configuration management tools, trackers and more. Avoid spending testing time resources and expedite the customization by getting our Tool Customization Services.
Maximize your investment!
Test Automation Framework
Without a framework, your expensive tools may be limited or may even end up in the shelves. Testing and Scripting are two different tasks and a framework designed to strike a balance between these two are necessary to ensure the success of test automation initiatives.
At CheQ Systems, we design turn-key solutions aligned to your resources and your test assets, from rigorous planning and strategy formulation up to implementation and continuous process improvement.
Our test automation framework design can be acquired even prior to tool acquisition or if you already have an existing tool.
Script Development and Maintenance Services - You Test! We Automate!
The most common pitfall in test automation is when you spend most of your time scripting rather than testing. Scripting is the most tedious part of the automation process and the discipline is very similar to coding. Scripting and Testing are two totally different skill sets.
You want your testers to be analytical, quality driven, and have a keen eye for details. They, too, know your users and are very familiar with the applications.
While you want your automation engineers to be experts in coding and scripting languages; one who can adhere to coding guidelines and can create reusable libraries, functions and subroutines and easily maintainable scripts.
We can do the latter part for you while you allow your testers maintain their expertise on your business domain and applications in the principle of repeatability and reusability. We will deliver ready to use and easily maintainable scripts for your experts to run and validate. In the process, we also help you build up your test automation capability the soonest possible time.
Name your tools, and chances are we can create your scripts!
Performance Testing (Load, Stress, Benchmark)
Take advantage of our experience in conducting performance test for mission-critical application with load test experience ranging from hundreds up to hundreds of thousand virtual users.
Performance testing is often a neglected area in the testing lifecycle simply because it is too tedious, difficult, or in most cases the testing team does not have the resources to conduct one.
Can you imagine if you encounter breakpoints, downtime, or slowdown at the peak of your operations, or at the time when you are getting the most number of customers visiting and doing transactions on your system? It can be totally disastrous.
Determine your capacity, find out the right size and configuration, and know your limits and potential bottlenecks.
Answer these questions:
What is the user experience at 300 concurrent users? How fast is the payment transaction at peak time?
Is it the hardware, the software, or the network?
Avoid finger pointing, let us find the bottleneck and give you performance analytics to help you improve your system.
Our rich experience in using HP LoadRunner can help you in your performance testing initiatives. It is the best and perhaps the industry standard tool when it comes to performance testing.
But then again, we are not limited to one specific tool. There are many performance tools out there that may already satisfy your performance requirements. In fact, we have a mid-range performance testing solution for limited platforms that produces significant results too.
Performance testing is highly recommended as an outsourced task since it is done by a team of multi-disciplinary skills. In most cases, performance testing is done occasionally and not on a regular basis. Usually pre-deployment, upgrades, and only if there are major changes in the architecture or environment. Also at times, a window of only a few hours is allowed to run on production environment.
Why assemble a full time performance testing team, when you can already avail of the services of our top caliber performance testing team? We have a LoadRunner team ready to be engaged when you need it.
We also have expertise on a mid-range tool that allows flexible licensing options.
As a full-time software quality engineering firm, all of our project engagements have been in this field, across various industries, domains and multiple platforms. Our testing experiences include a wide range of applications from business ERPs such as insurance, banking, aviation, manufacturing, telecommunications, all the way to online, console and mobile games.
Since 2003, CheQ has been rendering significant hours of testing through our projects in the Philippines and offshore. In 2007, the company invaded the game space as it officially started game testing projects with a prominent Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) developer located in Texas and another client from California, which develops a popular brand of handheld educational games for kids. Testing iPhone games is also part of our portfolio.

Security is always linked information and services. Attacker finds the vulnerable areas where they can exploit the system. Vulnerability is an error that an attacker can exploit which typically falls into two categories—bugs at the implementation level and flaws at the design level. Identifying this vulnerability will reduce the cost of future fixes.
Securing Information through Risk Management
Software security is about making software behave in the presence of a malicious attack. CheQ Systems offers quality services that are focused on security assessment, business consulting, infrastructure integration and testing. We can ensure the integrity, privacy and availability of data resources, optimize infrastructure operations, and provide cost-effective network solutions.
