Business Problem
Your organisation may suffer from one, or all, of the following:
- No Testing Strategy
- No Quality Assurance
- No, or limited, Testing Expertise
- Lack of Testing Maturity
- Limited, unskilled Resources
- Limited time to test
- Increased business pressure regarding time to market and quality
Business Reality
Testing and Quality Assurance are usually viewed as a compliance cost for most businesses – an exercise in risk management:
- Upgrades have unintended consequences
- Can’t meet timeline expectations of the business
- Cost to upgrade/replace prohibitive
- Poor IT staff morale – the same stuff gets broken again and again
- Establishment and maintenance of a skilled in‑house test team can
be prohibitive
Testing is often viewed as costly, fragmented and poorly measured.
Testing Services, in our model, is not just about compliance but about enabling corporate agility, making the change process go faster, making it less risky, and protecting both the bottom line and corporate reputation.
