TECHNICAL VERIFICATION

Deposit Verification gives both parties assurance that the escrow Deposit Materials are complete, virus- and defect-free and fully functional per the testing specifications. Upon request, and for an additional fee, EscrowNow will oversee the complete technical verification process, performed by certified software engineers, and provide written reports and authentication to all Parties of the escrow agreement.

EscrowNow offers the following verification services:

Level 1 - Visual Analysis
Visually inspecting the Deposit Materials to check that the labeling, if any, on the Deposit Materials matches the Deposit Inventory Form and to check for missing items. For example, if the Deposit Inventory Form states that four CD ROMs are included, but only three are present, then a missing CD ROM will be reported. Visually inspecting the Deposit Materials for obvious physical defects or damage. For example, a damaged CD ROM. EscrowNow automatically includes “Level 1” technical verification as a standard with every escrow account.
 
Level 2 - Environmental Analysis
All files are checked for readability and scanned for viruses. Based on the product's "packing list", all files are identified, verified and given a unique MD5-Checksum ID for internal benchmarking or comparison to subsequent deposit updates. Independent, written verification of the inventory is reported to all Parties.
 
Level 3 - Compilation
This level of technical verification is necessary to ensure that the deposited materials can be compiled in a clean room environment. In addition to the test results from the Environmental Analysis verification, in this Compilation level of verification EscrowNow will document all source files and module compilation procedures, identify hardware and configuration information, and create a listing of software and operating environments necessary to compile code. After verifying that all of the components are part of the deposit we are then able to do a successful build. This includes all Level 1 and 2 verification and acceptance procedures.
 
Level 4 - Installation
For the this level of verification, EscrowNow will install the newly compiled software onto a third machine similar to what the client is using. Additionally, EscrowNow will perform a verification test of the product's major functionality to ensure that it has been properly installed. This includes all Level 1, 2 and 3 verification and acceptance procedures.
 
Level 5 - Comparison

This level of technical verification will test all of the functions of the newly compiled code. EscrowNow invites your quality assurance manager to our verification lab for a day in order to test the software's functionality. This includes all Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 verification and acceptance procedures.
