Today’s testing challenge:
- IT budgets continue to be limited and technology is getting more complex.
- New realities—social, mobility, analytics, and cloud—are fundamentally changing the way companies do business, opening new avenues to customers and markets, as well as an unprecedented rate of growth.
- Business demands the highest level of application availability and stability.
- Agile development makes development turnaround times shorter, and many large enterprises are adopting DevOps and agile. Testing teams are under intense pressure to quickly and thoroughly test applications to support a wide variety of end user devices, such as laptops, tablets, and phones, without sacrificing quality and speed of delivery.
- Globally, IT executives are looking for new ways to improve application quality and speed and lower costs while managing their digital transformation. This is especially true when they spend as much as 10 to 12 percent of their annual IT budget fixing core application problems
Radically improve productivity and manage complexity with intelligence.
Our clients come to us because we help them rise to these challenges. We think differently about application testing—more innovatively and holistically.
Instead of testing for quality at the end, we focus on it throughout the application lifecycle. We adopt a more agile “quality in, quality out” mindset to cope with shrinking budgets and increasing technical complexity.
By adopting industrialized processes and infusing intelligence into delivery, costs can be reduced and application reliability improved. And we go one step further: We work with you to improve testing productivity through predictive analytics and automation while also driving higher quality across your application lifecycle. In many cases, we also assume the day-to-day responsibility for your testing operations.
Outsourcing
Our outsourcing solutions are tailored to meet the needs of your enterprise, business unit, or even major multi-year programs.
At the core of our outsourcing engagements is our Program Management specifically designed for Quality Assurance and Quality Control needs, which encapsulates the operating model, services, technology, and people. Embedded within it are processes for continuous improvement and demand-based resourcing, which allow us to optimize delivery over time and provide flexibility for your changing requirements.
Typical outsourcing models include:
- Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS) for all non-functional testing services (performance, security, and automated testing)
- Centralized for all testing services (at a regional business unit or group level)
- Program level providing Test Management, E2E Integration Testing, Test Assurance, and Non-Functional Testing in multi-vendor environments
- By leveraging our industry partnerships and wider consulting capabilities, we can extend the outsourcing scope to include the provision of software licenses, management, and hosting of test environments or even outsourcing of other delivery functions (e.g., PMO)
