We can help you move in the right direction on QA

We are committed to the success of our client applications and take care that all testing processes are performed to the highest standards. Our engagement model incorporates the best industry practices and ensures a high degree of confidence that your applications and systems meet the most stringent requirements.

In today's economy and rapidly shifting demand for new software and changes in available technology, it can sometimes become stressful or costly to maintain a high standard of product testing. Let us help you plan and execute your Quality Assurance strategy. We can build your plans from the ground up, or use what you already have and improve it for optimum performance. We have extensive experience in many QA areas, such as building quality testing practices and procedures, reusable test plans, and requirements traceability matrices. We can assist you in the onshore/nearshore/offshore decision and optimize the results based on your individual needs. Planning on building and testing a cloud-based system? We can ensure that the functionality and system performance are as specified. Using an Agile development methodology? We can help you optimize the QA function in that environment to ensure that you realize the advantages of that strategy. The options, and potential, are limitless.

This method can enable the use of follow-the-sun concepts to allow for 24 hour per day testing, if required. Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V): An independent verification ensures that systems specifications are being met and validates that the specifications meet the user needs as defined. Cloud-based Testing: Assists you with application/system work by consulting (defining, planning, analyzing, researching, recommending and/or documenting) specifically on cloud-based testing. Agile Testing: Assists you with applications/systems work by consulting (defining, planning, analyzing, researching, recommending and/or documenting) on a project that is following agile methodology. This could include all test methods (application, automation, performance, security).
