360° Test Management

Higher Expectations The IT world is changing and these changes affect the nature and role of testing. Evolving practices such as Agile Development require aligned changes in testing practices. Wider demands for change arise from an emerging recognition of the power that testing has to drive the development and delivery engines and to be the radar that informs leaders and stakeholders of the true state of their programmes. Expectations of the contribution testing must make and of the leadership to be provided by test management are increasing. The challenge for test management teams and test managers is to move from a focus on niche test delivery in order to meet these expectations.

Best Practice Best practice test management equates to autonomous and proactive test management that is fully engaged from initial concept through to completion. It provides effective 360° coverage test coverage that forms an intrinsic part of all project activities. From indvidual projects to enterprise scale programmes testing is an equal partner in the shaping and governance of activities. Flexible, rapid and smart; testing moves with the programme rather than following on behind.

Our Experience Our experience is diverse and includes exceptionally challenging test management activities; ones that have demanded unique solutions and created unique leadership demands. We have operated on the leading edge running test facilities that function at a scale and intensity few others match, establishing comprehensive test services for corporate IT estates and tackling large scale technically complex and high risk test programmes.

Services - We can provide support on test strategy, manage test delivery and provide test assurance to confirm that testing is being performed effectively. We can also provide consultancy and coaching to enable your teams to refine their own test management approaches and performance. We can help to change testing practices to meet today's higher expectations.
