Are you looking to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of your Content Management System, Web Platform and/or Application Framework, but don't have the necessary resources needed to plan, setup and test it?
If so, we can help.
Quite often performing the actual upgrade is the easy part of upgrading your website. It's the testing and issue resolution that can be the most time consuming and resource intensive part of the process. Why use your valuable resources to do this work?
Our professional services team can augment your staff to thoroughly test your upgraded website, no matter how big or small.
We'll team with your IT/Web Developers. While they perform the actual upgrade, we'll handle all of the planning and execution of the testing to ensure that your site works the same after the upgrade as it did before the upgrade. Of course we'll be using the WebsiteUpgradeTester.com tool so you'll be able to see the results as we perform the tests.
Based on your existing environment, the upgrade process includes the following tasks scheduled over 1 to 4 weeks.
We recommend that your site actually be upgraded at least twice. An "initial" upgrade is performed to identify and fix any issues found, and then the "final" upgrade is performed once all the issues have been resolved and you are confident that the upgrade will be successful.
Often, there may be one or more "dry run" upgrades in between the "initial" upgrade and the "final" upgrade, depending on the number and complexity of the issues found. Typically larger sites will most likely have at least one "dry run" upgrade.

Using the WebsiteUpgradeTester.com tool we will identify:
-
Pages that render visually differently after the upgrade than before.
- Each page will be compared pixel by pixel to see if there are any difference. Subtle changes in JavaScript of CSS can cause major or minor difference. The good thing is our tool will catch all of these changes, so there will be no surprises.
-
JavaScript or Resource Loading Errors that occur when the page loads.
- In addition to testing for visual consistency, we will also catch any JavaScript or Resource loading errors, that may cause user interaction to break.
-
Display issues when rendering on different device sizes.
- One advantage of our tool is that it is often much faster to browse through and see all how all of your pages are rendering for different device sizes. We will test across as many devices sizes as supported by your responsive breakpoints to ensure content renders correctly.
You can also use our services to test pages that have a process or certain interactivity, such as Web Forms, wizards, etc.
- We can build and execute either manual test cases, or browser based scripts that test these forms and their results.
