FAQs Software Testing Frequently Asked Questions

During the software testing process for CNAS and CMA qualifications, we often encounter various software testing issues raised by customers. Here, we have summarized the following common questions from customers and provided answers to them.

The cover of the report should be recognized by national authoritiesCNASThe identification stamp, andSpecial seal for inspection and testingIt can support report traceability.

The following application materials need to be submitted for software testing

Application Form for Entrusted TestingIt includes the information of the entrusting unit, the basic situation of the software, the requirements for test types, the requirements for the software operating environment (application server, database server, cache server, etc.), and the acceptance test content (function list, performance index requirements, security test requirements, source code development language and line count).Product ManualOrOperation ManualElectronic version.

In accordance with GB/T 25000.51-2016 "Systems and Software Engineering - Systems and Software - Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) - Part 51: Quality requirements and test details for ready-to-use software products (RUSP)". This standard serves as the most authoritative basis for software product acceptance testing, the conclusion of scientific and technological projects, third-party testing, and software product registration.

The eight quality characteristics: functionality, performance efficiency, compatibility, ease of use, reliability, information security, maintainability, and portability, these eight characteristics constitute the core framework for software quality evaluation.

Our third-party CNAS software evaluation laboratory can conduct functional, performance efficiency, information security (vulnerability scanning or penetration testing), source code testing, and product registration evaluation.

Third-party software evaluation service entry 🤖

The report can be issued within 5 to 10 working days (depending on the project scale). For urgent projects of customers, they can be expedited within 2 to 3 working days.

Test scope confirmation -> Evaluation Quotation -> Contract Signing -> Evaluation implementation -> Defect feedback -> Regression testing -> Evaluation report confirmation -> Payment of balance -> Evaluation Report stamping

For detailed procedures, please refer toSoftware testing business process.

We can handle the software part of embedded products without involving the hardware.

The process documents include: "Testing Plan", "Testing Outline", "Testing Instructions", "Testing Issue Record", and "Testing Report". However, the process documents are only for archiving by the testing laboratory and will not be sent or circulated to customers.The customer only received the "Test Report"..

The CNAS qualification certificate bears the CNAS National Laboratory Accreditation mark and the ILAC international mutual recognition joint mark, so"CNASIt is mutually recognized internationally and has an international flavor. However, CMA is merely a metrological accreditation of China, which is only for the accreditation activities of domestic third-party laboratories and is not recognized abroad. CNAS qualification is more cost-effective.

We need the customer to provide detailed testing requirements. We cannot quote without basis. The quotation can only be provided after the evaluation materials provided by the customer are assessed by the laboratory, and a quotation sheet can be provided.

The source code will not be leaked.

Throughout the entire evaluation process, we will carry out it in accordance with the established norms. Except for the code security audit, we do not come into contact with the customer's source code files for all other tests. We do not disclose the source code of client software or other project documents to the public. We can sign a "Data Information Security Agreement" with the entrusting unit. We have the obligation and responsibility to keep all source codes and documents confidential.
