Reliability Testing Services
Your users expect your software to work every time, under any condition. We stress-test your applications against real-world scenarios to ensure they perform consistently when it matters most. No surprises, no downtime, no disappointed customers.
Our Reliability Testing Expertise
Reliability Metrics & Analysis
Measure Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), availability percentages, and error rates. We provide detailed reliability analytics that help you understand system behavior patterns and predict future performance issues.
Chaos Engineering Testing
Deliberately introduce controlled failures to test system resilience. Random server shutdowns, network partitions, and resource exhaustion - discovering how your system responds to unexpected disruptions.
Data Integrity & Backup Testing
Validate that your data remains consistent during system failures and recovery processes. Testing backup procedures, data restoration accuracy, and transaction integrity during unexpected shutdowns.
Recovery Time Optimization
Measure and optimize how quickly your system recovers from failures. Testing automatic failover mechanisms, restart procedures, and ensuring minimal downtime when issues occur.
Reliability Test Planning
Effective reliability testing requires strategic planning that addresses multiple critical aspects. You can monitor reliability after the software has entered production, but the organization and staff responsible for the software's operation must be consulted when gathering reliability requirements for test planning.
The Technical Test Analyst may select a reliability growth model that shows the expected reliability levels over time. A reliability growth model can provide valuable information to the Test Manager by comparing the expected and achieved reliability levels.
Production-Like Environment
Reliability tests should be conducted in a production-like environment. The environment should remain stable to enable reliability trends to be monitored over time.
System-Level Testing
Because reliability tests require the use of the entire system, reliability testing is most commonly done as part of system testing. Individual components can be subjected to reliability testing and integrated sets of components.
Risk Mitigation
Detailed architecture, design, and code reviews can remove some of the risks of reliability issues in the system.
Statistical Significance
Reliability tests usually require long execution times to produce statistically significant test results.
Reliability Test Specification
Reliability testing may take the form of a repeated set of predetermined tests. These may be tests selected randomly from a pool or test cases generated by a statistical model using random or pseudo-random methods. Tests may also be based on patterns of use, sometimes referred to as "Operational Profiles."
Specific reliability tests may specify that memory-intensive actions are to be executed repeatedly so they can detect possible memory leaks.
Types of Reliability Testing
Feature Testing
Feature Testing checks the feature provided by the software, and it's conducted in the following steps:
- Each operation in the software is executed at least once
- Interaction between the two operations is reduced
- Each operation has to be checked for its proper execution
Load Testing
Load Testing is conducted to check the performance of the software under the maximum workload.

Regression testing is mainly used to check whether any new bugs have been introduced because of fixing previous bugs. Regression Testing is conducted after every change or update of the software features and their functionalities.

Stress Testing & Breaking Points
Push your system beyond normal capacity to identify exact failure thresholds. We determine when your application breaks, why it breaks, and how to prevent it from reaching those limits in production environments.
Disaster Recovery Testing
Validate your backup systems and recovery procedures work when disasters strike. Database failures, server crashes, and network outages - ensuring your business continuity plans actually function under pressure.
Scalability & Volume Testing
Test how your application handles growing data volumes and increasing user bases. Memory management, database performance, and system architecture validation as your business scales up rapidly.
Cross-Platform Reliability
Ensure consistent performance across different operating systems, browsers, and device configurations. Comprehensive compatibility testing that catches platform-specific reliability issues before users do.
Database Reliability Testing
Transaction integrity, connection pooling, and data consistency validation under high-load scenarios. Preventing data corruption and ensuring reliable database operations during peak usage periods.
Real-World Scenario Testing
Simulating actual user environments including poor network conditions, device limitations, and unexpected user behaviors. Testing how your software performs in coffee shops, moving vehicles, and areas with spotty connectivity.
Stop shipping software that breaks under pressure.
