techUK's source code validation service is provided by IntelliQA, a specialist consultancy that addresses the Quality Assurance challenges in the real-world. Their knowledge of system delivery combined with industrialised test automation is highly coveted by organisations across sectors and industries. The service checks source code that is deposited with our software escrow service to ensure it is valid, complete and as described by the software developer.
Our packages:
Silver source code validation
Silver source code validation includes basic verification of the software; plus services to check the source code can be built into the software that the end-user needs. The report you receive will cover:
- Software is:
- Is readable;
- Is virus free;
- Is provided with the correct encryption keys and passwords;
- Can be uncompressed if files are compressed;
- Contains instructions to compile the source files; and
- Contains source code.
- What applications and tools are required to build the software
- How the files produced during the build compare to the software itself
- The steps to follow in order to install a working version of the software
- The test results of the software's core functions
- Analysis of how the software complies with its licence.
Gold source code validation
Gold source code validation includes Silver validation, plus services to replicate the build process as it would occur at the end user's site. As part of gold source code validation, we can create and retain a copy of the environment used to build and install the application.
The report you receive will cover:
- Key differences between building the software in an independent environment and at the software user's premises
- The exact process required to install a working version of the software at the user's premises
- The results of user acceptance testing
- Source code analysis to check maintainability, performance and security.
Platinum source code validation
Platinum source code validation includes Gold validation, plus very thorough analysis of the source code placed in escrow.
The report you receive will cover:
- Licence compliance management analysis. This determines if code from other sources has been used and, if so, validates its ownership and usage
- Code quality management analysis. This checks the code's quality against our coding standards databases
- Code maintainability, sustainability, security and performance. A thorough analysis of these areas.
