Testing Services

At Mycos Technologies, we offer specialized testing services that bring value, precision, and assurance to your development projects. With over 20 years of experience, we believe in the power of an outsourced, independent testing team. Here’s how our team contributes to building reliable, secure, and scalable software applications.

Unbiased Testing Perspective

We advocate for a distinct testing team to bring fresh perspectives that challenge assumptions and uncover hidden issues. Independent testing eliminates shared expectations with the development team, providing unbiased feedback and enhanced reliability, especially for public-facing applications.

Specialist Test Engineers

Our test engineers bring a broad skill set, from manual testing to sophisticated CI/CD processes. The role has evolved, incorporating development knowledge to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in modern testing environments. Our test engineers focus on:

Utilizing developer tools for debugging and issue identification.
Deciding the optimal testing approach (e.g., unit, API, or end-to-end).
Collaborating with developers to automate testing and guard against regressions.

Deployment Environment Expertise

Understanding the deployment environment is essential. Our test engineers have extensive knowledge of varied environments, including:

Docker and Kubernetes for containerized applications.
Bare Metal and Cloud Platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) for flexible deployments.
Hybrid Deployments that integrate on-premises and cloud resources.

This knowledge enables context-aware testing, making our testing solutions adaptable and reliable.

Penetration and Security Testing

Security is at the core of our testing services. We offer specialized penetration and security testing to safeguard applications against vulnerabilities. Our expertise includes:

Network Scanning and Vulnerability Assessments
Authorization/Authentication Testing
XSS and CORS Mitigation
Data Isolation and SQL Injection Prevention

Analytical and Creative Testing Approach

While automation and regression testing provide a strong foundation, higher-level testing requires an analytical and creative mindset. Our engineers go beyond the specifications to test real-world scenarios, asking questions like:

“What happens if the network drops at a critical moment?”
“How does this function under different browser settings or high-contrast modes?”
“What are the implications of timezone differences?”

This artistic approach enables us to identify edge cases and deliver high-quality user experiences.

Tools We Use

Our test engineers use a variety of tools tailored to different testing needs. Here are some of our preferred tools:

Postman/Newman for API Testing
Jest for JavaScript Testing
Cypress and Selenium for End-to-End and Client Automation Testing
Locust for Load Testing
TestComplete for Automated UI Testing
Nmap for Network Mapping and Security Audits
Wireshark for Network Protocol Analysis

Our focus is not on the specific tools but on the rigorous thought process behind each test to ensure robust, dependable software.

With Mycos Technologies, you get a comprehensive testing approach that combines experience, innovation, and meticulous attention to detail, all tailored to support your development team and deliver quality software solutions.
