Operational Assessment & Testing

At PURVIS, we believe in rigorous testing to validate each of our systems. Testing is embedded into every scope of work and helps ensure our solutions integrate with your existing infrastructure seamlessly.

Systems Verification Testing Lab

In our Systems Verification Testing lab, we utilize our custom-built testing systems to perform rigorous testing before beginning on-site client testing.

Our testing is transparent – we always communicate what we’re working on, showing you early and often. We recommend changes and optimizations that should be made and always welcome your input. This early testing helps us avoid schedule delays.

We have procedures to test system anomalies and are always looking at data that is out of bounds. We develop realistic scenarios to collect and analyze system performance, environmental, and geographic data in tactically relevant environments.

Systems Integration

Once the system has been confirmed in our lab, we bring the software and hardware to your site to perform integration testing in the real environment. Once fully integrated, we go through acceptance testing, using initial system requirements and running the test script.

The environments we set up within our lab allow vendors to easily interface and integrate with our systems offline before we integrate at a customer site. This allows us to make sure that the data we are expecting to send or receive from their systems is populating correctly ahead of time and minimizes the impact to live systems at the time of cut-over.

Preserving Existing Functionality

Our series of extensive tests help ensure our new systems will not interfere with existing functionality. We know that every change, no matter how minor, has a ripple effect across your system, so we ensure that we’ve measured the effect on every disparate element before our system is up and running.

We also work to maintain the same ease-of-use that your team has become accustomed to so that our new technology doesn’t hinder current usability.

Operational / Installation Testing

Our rigorous testing processes ensure systems conform to established function and physical baselines and are fully prepared for installation and operational use. Our services include:

Product Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) – Ensures the product meets the specified requirements, design criteria, and functionality before it is delivered
System Operational Verification Testing (SOVT) – Verifies that a system functions in accordance with its operational and interface requirements
Environmental Qualification Testing (EQT) – Ensures that the product meets the demands of its operating environment.
Shock and Vibration Testing – Ensures product performance under extreme conditions.
Electromagnetic Interference Testing (EMI) – Measures the electromagnetic emissions from a device to ensure it does not interfere with other electronic equipment
Operator/Human Machine Interface – Evaluation of the usability and validating training effectiveness.
Failure Analyses and evaluation of impact to system performance requirements

What Our Clients Say

“PURVIS has played a huge role in helping us meet production deliveries. Not only does PURVIS perform the factory acceptance tests, but they also perform incoming inspections of the arrays. PURVIS' dedication and flexibility to get arrays through the test queue has helped NUWC Newport stay out of the critical path of deliveries.”

“PURVIS’ knowledge of the array test set and how testing is performed has aided the systems engineering group in closing out open failure investigations. PURVIS is willing to perform extra tests as needed to ensure failures are accurate.”
