Security testing is the only way you can assure your software wouldn’t be breached. Whether you want to be confident in data safety before the release of your software, or your system must meet security regulations, Olympiqa’s quality assurance team is at your service!
Security testing is a set of QA services aimed at detecting and eliminating possible security vulnerabilities, and protecting the software from possible intrusions.
Each bug found at the earliest stage costs multifold cheaper and faster to overcome compared with the same found later. The difference in costs and time is even higher for the bugs tied with the security
Even a single security flaw that wasn’t found at the time can simply ruin all your business
You must always be sure that your corporate secrets or personal data of your clients won’t be stolen
In the case of a data breach, your clients and partners are highly likely will sue you, that’s why keeping their data safe is crucial for business sustainability
Software that is free of security flaws builds trust with its users automatically
During the years of our history, the Olympiqa engineering team has polished our own working approach. This approach has proven its efficiency many times, which makes it possible to say “We know how to test your software successfully!” Below you can learn more about the process we offer.
Using our approach, we start testing right from the requirements analysis, and firstly improve the quality of requirements. This helps make requirements clearer for the development team, whose job becomes more focused and efficient. As a result, developers do drastically fewer unnecessary actions, only focusing on the tasks that are well-detailed and important.
Our processes are ready for being adjusted in accordance with your own processes and software tools.
All our engineers work in-state and know each other. That’s why our team is always working highly efficiently and free of communication issues. This is also a reason for the rather short onboarding period — 7 days or less.
You can choose which data we should cover in our testing reports
We are deadly sure that successful collaboration between the software testing company and their clients is possible only if both parties are benefited. That’s why we have such a high client retention rate.
We’ll make a free initial pre-test of your software and offer you a report, covering both overall quality level and possible growth points
We research your software requirements specification and find flaws just before the start of development.
Benefit: saving your budget by finding errors and eliminating them at the earliest possible stag
Our QA team imitates various types of cyber attacks existing in the real life. Such simulations help find vulnerabilities, evaluate their harming potential, and establish ways how to overcome them.
Benefit: assuring you that your system has no critical vulnerabilities and this will be quite hard for any intruder to penetrate into
We conduct comprehensive vulnerability analysis of your software system. The aim is to check your system for sensitivity to all known vulnerabilities included in the assessment: SQL injections, false authentification, insecure settings by default, database architectural flaws, etc.
Benefit: a maximum possible assurance that your software is secure
The team of our QA engineers manually tests your software within the approved scope. They can find all the vulnerabilities, if they’ll check everything, of course.
Benefit: sharpest focus — you can test within the focused range of platforms, devices, or browsers, or even just test a separate feature
*convertible to autotests
Mobile apps usually integrate a bunch of different technologies within one application. There are, in addition, rather strict security requirements set by app stores. Olympiqa’s team is familiar with these specific nuances of mobile app security testing.
Benefit: your app will surely be both compatible with the store security requirements and secure for its users
ISO/IEC 27032, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, as well as GDPR and many other industry-related and universal security standards are usually quite strict. Our team is experienced enough for assuring your system is compliant with any of these standards.
Benefit: assure your system can enter the market in terms of its security regulations
Code review is rather helpful itself and especially in terms of security. Our team will assess your code and flows with a detached view, find its weaknesses, and help eliminate them.
Benefit: much more efficient code without security flaws
Do you have any questions related to software security? Or, do you have any doubts about how secure your website, mobile app, or any other system is? We’ll be appreciated helping you find the answers to your questions.
Benefit: the most flexible option
We are very human-centric. This means you can easily speak with our engineers to be sure they’re professionals in their crafts. Book a call and we’ll dispel all your doubts about your testing needs and desires.
We bet a proper process is a key to success in software testing activities. Within our work, we’ve developed and polished the next approach to the security testing operations:
This is the initial yet one of the most important stages within the software testing process. At this stage, our QA team is researching the requirements documentation for understanding the scope better. This stage is a basis for the test case development. It helps assure that both parties are on the same page, as well as validate the completeness, unambiguity, and feasibility of the requirements.
The planning stage is crucial for each non-chaotical process, including QA, of course. During this stage, the main goal of our engineers is to create and verify the test cases, and then rework them once the overall plan is ready. There is also all the else test data preparation, which is including test conditions, required resources, priority, etc. This stage helps make all the tests properly and within the requirements, cover all the required test cases, and work with the highest possible efficiency.
This stage is a process of executing previously planned tests and comparison of the actual results given with the expected ones. If the actual result differs from the expected, the case is coming to the next stage as a bug. Upon the results of the execution, you can decide whether your software is ready for release or not, as well as estimate the readiness level.
Once the tests are finished as planned, it’s time to prepare reports based on the results of the testing. A bug report is a detailed document containing the next data: bug description; conditions of its arrival; steps to reproduce and screenshot (video); the date when the test was made; the name of a tester who detected the bug and the developer who fixed it. Actually, the report may contain any other piece of data which is crucial for the given case.
The test cycle closure phase is about making sure that every single bug mentioned in the report was successfully fixed. That’s why the last step in the software testing process is running all the previously planned test cases one more time. The ideal outcome is 100% success.
Once the penetration testing (or pen testing, as it’s often called) is a simulation of specific cyber attacks, the security testing has a much wider sense and covers much more activities. Penetration testing is a particular case of security testing.
The cost of security testing for your particular project is highly dependent on many factors: the scope of both the project and required testing, the quality of code, the chosen processes and tech stack, etc. But we can start with less and then scale the collaboration up within the needed amount of effort. The most convenient threshold for us for starting is $1,000+ per 2-week sprint.
We have a proven approach to testing with projects of different complexity. You can start risk-free right now with no obligation and then, after a pre-test, decide to expand the collaboration or skip it.
