Our expert services offer
We offer a range of services that can help you promptly detect and address potential risks with your OutSystems applications while optimising their efficiency. Our team of experts can save you a considerable amount of work and set you on the right track to maximise your investment in OutSystems.
Application and Architecture Review
Get on top of your application and architecture risks before they become issues.
Your challenge
When building an application, it’s common to face uncertainty regarding potential issues during the launch phase or concerns about scalability and functionality. Users might also express dissatisfaction with performance, while the underlying problem remains unknown. Problems with application and architecture can result in unhappy customers, decreased productivity and costly remediation.
How we can help
PhoenixDX can implement a comprehensive review of your application and architecture to identify and correct issues early on, either before or during production. This process ensures your application’s usability, performance, scalability and maintainability are optimised according to your business need.
Benefits
- Mitigates risk by allowing issues with your application and architecture to be identified and fixed before the product goes live.
- Enables you to plan the best way to upscale your applications.
- Increases the productivity of users by ensuring your application’s optimal performance.
- Aligns your application with OutSystems best practices, ensuring you get the most out of its capabilities.
Performance Review
Make sure your application operates at peak performance by addressing issues fast.
Your challenge
Performance problems can negatively impact employee productivity and customer satisfaction without prompt attention. Although your company might recognise that an application has a performance issue – loading slowly, crashing with high traffic or attracting user complaints – it may not be clear how best to resolve the issue. Quick and targeted action is essential to mitigate the risk.
How we can help
PhoenixDX can thoroughly review the performance of your OutSystems applications and platform. Based on the current load and targeted growth plans, our expert consultant will comprehensively analyse your OutSystems ecosystem, identify performance issues and develop a detailed plan to address these issues to ensure the continued operation of your applications at scale.
Benefits
- Mitigates risks associated with poor application performance.
- Validates application functionality and scalability.
- Increases customer/employee productivity and satisfaction.
- Maximises platform capabilities.
- Allows you to scale with confidence.
Load Testing
Scale confidently by pre-testing how your application will perform under high traffic volumes.
Your challenge
It can be hard to know whether your solution will perform well under high loads of transactions during peak periods or intense traffic. Outages or poor application performance can leave your customers or users feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. You can overcome this risk by conducting Load Testing before you go live or scale your application.
How we can help
PhoenixDX can perform load testing for your application – a tailored analysis of how your application will perform under high-volume scenarios. Load testing is the best way to guarantee that your application architecture is fit for purpose. If not, it allows you to develop a plan to align its performance with your business needs. We reveal how many concurrent users and transactions your application might sustainably support and identify bottlenecks and breaking points that could be costly to fix later, if undetected during pre-production.
Benefits
- Assures quality application performance in high-volume use cases or during peak usage.
- Mitigates risks and production outages, increasing customer/user satisfaction.
- Identifies bottlenecks and scalability issues during pre-production, allowing for cost-effective remediation.
- Positions your company to scale with confidence to accommodate growth.
Platform Security Review
Bring in security experts to ensure your platform security is state-of-the-art.
Your challenge
Cybercriminals are targeting B2C and B2B applications more aggressively than ever before. Major security breaches substantially negatively impact a company’s financials, public trust and brand. According to Gartner, more than 75% of mobile applications fail basic security tests. It makes sense to have your applications reviewed by security experts. Application penetration testing is insufficient without proper platform controls in place.
How we can help
PhoenixDX offers to conduct a comprehensive security review of your OutSystems platform. We will analyse your platform controls, application controls, security processes and hardening policies for the platform. Based on our findings, we will provide recommendations to secure your platform, enhance autonomy, and reduce security exposure and operational risks.
Benefits
- Minimises your company’s security risks by reducing platform vulnerabilities.
- Ensures that no applicational backdoors exist in your OutSystems factory.
- Analyses procedures and access to the platform.
Test Automation
Take the pain out of application testing by automating the process.
Your challenge
Digital products are rapidly evolving and manual testing simply can’t keep pace with the daily deployments of growing applications. Undetected errors impact user experience and can drive significant issues in operations and sales. Incorporating guided AI/ML test automation into your DevOps is the way forward, yet implementing test automation can be challenging without the right tools, knowledge, processes and experience.
How we can help
PhoenixDX can provide your company with an end-to-end test automation service, including:
- Test Automation Planning: recommendations regarding the best tools for your use case.
- Test Automation Development: Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) testing, Unit testing and UI testing.
- Test Automation Execution: testing assurance and management.
Benefits
- Mitigates risks by identifying and resolving faults before deployment.
- Speeds up the test process by automating and making it more efficient.
- Saves costs associated with manual testing and delays to market.
- Ensures quality customer experience and avoids reputational damage.
- Integrates with your DevOps.
