Automation
One of the core strengths of the 4impact team is our commitment to automated testing. We have deep experience in creating automated testing using open source tools such as Webtest, Grinder, Python and Ant.
During a recent project we were able to automate 84% of the test cases leading to a 98% fix rate prior to production. We should mention that the project also delivered an additional 150 days development effort and still delivered on time and under budget.
Data Driven Frameworks
The 4impact automated testing framework is a culmination of delivering automation testing for software products and services to the international finance industry, spanning the last ten years. This hybrid framework encompasses concepts from recognised test automation frameworks and is designed to deliver an automated testing capability that is re-usable across all phases of testing.
The framework goes beyond the current capability of existing testing tools by providing the ability to create custom page models that dramatically reduces the time required to produce business scenario scripts, and provides base class support for different software applications at the same time.
Payments

The payment landscape presents a complex business dimension and is becoming more complex as merchants look more to international commerce solutions to expand sales through international operations, or look to broaden hosted business services to a broad range of channel partners.
