Integrated Web Services (IWS) is committed to producing Web sites and other products that work for a world-wide, highly diverse audience. (The main Cornell Web site alone registers over half a billion hits per year.)
IWS prides itself on the level of testing performed on every product produced and every change implemented.
- Every Web page must display properly in all browsers with any significant level of usage, and acceptably (if not pixel-perfect) in others that are obscure or obsolete.
- All sites are automatically “crawled” for broken links and orphan pages, as well as being manually checked against a master page and content inventory and a functional specification.
- All IWS sites meet accessibility standards, and meet the most current style standards for site access via computer screens, PDAs, and screen readers.
- Every form, interactive or multimedia element, or programmed function is thoroughly reviewed for usability and tested for functional flaws.
- All issues are tracked and all fixes are verified.
- Post-launch, they monitor errors, redirection, pages not found, and performance for all sites.
IWS can also provide assistance in developing test plans, monitored user testing, and quality assurance (QA) testing, including automated load and performance testing, on a variety of platforms, for Web sites and applications developed by others.
