Increase your return
on investment
Finding and fixing system defects cost time
and money. Functional testing helps you
determine whether each system or business
requirement has been met.
The following test levels ensure the quality of
your system:
•System testing—Verifies that all or part of
an integrated and baseline system meets
specified functional and nonfunctional
requirements.
•System integration testing—Tests the
integration of systems, packages, and
testing interfaces to external organizations.
•Regression testing—Selectively retests a
component or system to verify software
or environment modifications have not
introduced or uncovered unintended
effects in unchanged areas. It also confirms
the component or system complies with
specified requirements.
•Acceptance testing—Validates the
component or system meets its defined,
measurable acceptance criteria.
Use a proven methodology
•The HPE team of testers uses a proven
methodology and tools to document and
manage test case development
and execution.
•Test cases are traced to functional
requirements to ensure all requirements are
tested and none are missed.
•A standard approach significantly reduces
the number of undetected defects (faults)
released into production.
•The final product performs as the
client expects.
Features that matter
•Standard testing methodology
•Consistent management and measurement
•Experienced testing staff
•System testing to validate
system requirements

Functional testing levels
The HPE approach to functional testing spans
three levels:
• Basic manual testing involves creating and
executing test cases, using
manual techniques.

automated testing methodologies based on
a foundation created during manual testing.

modeling techniques that model the
requirements and automatically generate
the optimum number of test cases.
