What currently presents itself as one of the urgent issues to be solved is quality control for IT products including software, installed in PC and its peripherals as well as in mobile phones, digital home-appliances, automobiles and so on. Diversification of users' needs has contributed to the development of diversified products of both hardware and software, consequently increasing the amount of work necessary to accomplish the functional inspection of a product. In addition, it goes beyond the limit of verification of a product alone. In terms of connecting to other products available in the market, also must be verified such interactive functions as compatibility of peripherals and interchangeability in network.
On the other hand, recent competition for lower product prices and shorter cycles of product development, has been calling for a quality control service which is more efficient and more accurate than ever. There is no better principle to improve quality control than to let two bodies of organization be separate and independent each other: one that develops and manufactures products, the other that inspects these finished products. Up until now, product control has been a matter of responsibility to be borne by the quality warranty division of respective enterprises. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon today, for the end users to be presented with a series of the coordinated products made by several enterprises. Under the circumstances, we firmly believe that the task of product control ought to be taken care of by an enterprise in neutral position.
The task of product control verification not only consists of specific actions called examination and inspection, but also providing extensively all the information regarding the verification, such as planning and design of inspection method, conclusion of inspection results and evaluation of inspection method. And we firmly believe that this is exactly what we are going to do in the name of systematic verification services.
It may be safely said that presently no IT device is used standing all alone as a product. All the IT products are, one way or the other, in use of network compatibility, or connected to other products, the function of which is controlled by software. And today, it is getting more and more difficult to verify software of IT products, in pursuit of multifunction and high- quality. And today, in view of the situation as seen above, it is becoming more and more significant to let a third party to verify software of IT products. Such apparent advantages of the third party verification consist in: "Neutrality from the system development side." "Evaluation equitable from the point of view of users." "Capacity for more accurate and efficient verification service."
We, VERISERVE Co., are system verification service experts with a verification theory of our own. We started with the verification services for localization work of PCs in '80s, and ever since we have been enjoying a career of more than 20 years of the third party verification service for various IT products( software ) including satellite navigation systems and digital home-appliances.
We are willing to contribute to making of a more comfortable IT Society by means of our verification services for IT-related products and systems available in the market.
