Banking & Finance

This sector has many large, sensitive systems that require the utmost in terms of computer security and operational reliability. In recent years the Internet has become increasingly important as a communication channel between banks and their customers and for transactions between banks. This makes it more important than ever to secure the functionality of the software that banks develop.

Testing plays a crucial part in this regard. Nothing can go wrong in the business of banking. One single software error could erode credibility and wipe millions off banking assets! At System Verification, thanks to the close watch that we keep on banks and financial institutes, we are fully conversant with the demands that are made on software by this sector.

IT & Telecommunications

Growth in this sector has been truly explosive over recent years. No other industry can match such a meteoric development, from scratch, in so short a time. But the ferocity of the competition in today’s market means that good products are essential for survival.

Previously, testing was frequently neglected so that new products could be launched as quickly as possible in the rapidly expanding market. Who hasn’t experienced the typical back-office scenario of the mutual “blame game” between customer and supplier? There is great potential to make good profits from systems that have been fully tested prior to implementation. This approach is a good way to strengthen a brand in a sector where, even today, you can still find suppliers selling half-finished software products.

Thanks to its knowledgeable consultants and long experience, System Verification has built up a solid reputation in the IT and telecom sector.

Pharmaceuticals

The United States’ Food and Drug Administration, FDA, imposes increasingly stringent criteria on pharmaceuticals intended for the American market. Even so, this market represents the all-important first step on the path to international success for new drugs.

Enormous sums of money and profitable licensing agreements are at stake whenever and wherever new medicines are developed. That’s what makes software testing such a crucial aspect in the quality assurance of the development process, at every link in the chain from sophisticated laboratory software to inventory control systems and financial programs.

System Verification monitors developments and demands within this sector closely to make sure that we can always offer our customers the very latest techniques in software testing.

Industry

Progress is measured by what constitutes the norm for good practice and standards. The International Organization for Standardization, ISO, has established an international consensus on good quality management practice through its ISO 9000 family of standards. ISO 9000 sets high quality standards for managing industrial production, an area in which software is becoming increasingly common as part of the product development process.

Ever increasing numbers of products are being tested in a computer before they are put into production. The pace of progress in this field has often meant that greater efforts have been made to construct the software than to take the time or trouble to make sure that it performs as intended. Today, however, many industrial companies have discovered the virtues of software testing prior to production in order to assure the quality of the end product.
