What is Interoperability Testing?

Interoperability testing validates that your system or software application is communicating correctly with systems or applications that are developed by others.

What is the purpose of Interoperability Testing?

Whether your application simply exports data for use in other applications, or full on communicates with databases, financial suites, or online stores; it is imperative that those transactions occur correctly the first time and every time. Failed transfers or incorrectly read data can result in a missed sale, lost information, or worse… corruption at the receiving end. There is nothing more frustrating to your users than spending hours entering data or creating complex layouts then attempting to send it to the next point in line only to receive messages saying it does not recognize the information or does not know what to do with it. And worse, receiving solutions that make incorrect assumptions and incorrectly handles that information could result in hours of work trying to straighten that data back out.

How can nResult help verify your application is communicating appropriately with others?

Our extensive software library allows us to test your application not only against many major releases but also many service and feature updates. When working with well-known products, knowledgeable engineers determine a test matrix tailored directly to your applications integration against known differences between the third parties product releases. Additional time is also devoted to verifying the underlying data is correctly formatted to known standards and formats, increasing confidence that your information will be transferred correctly to future versions of those applications and to newly create compatible solutions. Friendly and knowledgeable staff can provide exact details of when, and why, communication is failing, and in many cases can work directly with third parties to quickly provide the exact needed information to resolve problems external of your solution.
