Software Development Support Services

Overview:

In addition to testing services, PerfTestPlus offers a variety of general software support services. Each of these services are based on the individual expertise and interests of our consultants. Generally speaking, our software support services are shorter duration than our testing services and can often be designed as fixed price contracts making them easy to budget for.

Software Utility Development:

Throughout our careers, PerfTestPlus consultants have written a quite a variety of utilities to make our jobs as testers, developers, analysts and managers easier. Some of these utilities have made it into the opensource community, some are still in use by the clients we developed them for and others are collecting virtual dust on our hard drives. If there is a utility that you'd love to have, but don't have the time or resources to build it yourself, we might just be able to build one for you.

Web Site Optimization:

Our web site optimization service is targeted for small businesses. We can quickly assess a wide variety of search engine and performance charactistics and report back to you with suggestions for improvements that will help you attract and retain visitors to your site. Once you receive the report you may choose to make some, all or none of the improvements yourself or contract us to take care of it for you.

Performance Assessments:

This service is geared toward small to mid-sized businesses who don't have the tools or expertise to performance test their own site and thus don't really know how fast their site is. PerfTestPlus has the ability to quickly collect some performance snapshots and report back how the site compares to expectations or competitors sites under little or no load. While these performance snapshots are far from the whole story, they are a good place to start when you aren't even sure if you need a more complete performance testing program.

Independent Validation & Verification:

Do you need to ensure that a software service provider is complying with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) or would you like an outside evaluation of whether an application meets it's requirements? PerfTestPlus can provide that unbiased assessment.

Group Facilitation:

Does your team find it challenging to reach decisions in meetings? Does it seem like everyone is speaking a different language? Are new ideas more likely to lead to arguements and hurt feelings than better solutions? Maybe a trained facilitator can help. PerfTestPlus has trained facilitators who can help our group communicate and make better decisions faster.
