Software Quality Assurance and Software Testing Services
- Leading corporates across verticals are now renewing and reinventing themselves every 6-10 years. This is necessitated by rapidly evolving business models, competitive scenarios, regulatory frameworks and technology options. We add value to many organisation as a committed assurance partner in strategic programs. We engage when business requirements are getting defined and we stay with the business as a Project Assurance partner till a program successfully goes into production.
- We bring deep domain knowledge, application specific expertise, hands-on risk management experience acquired over multiple transformation programs, unique accelerators and productivity tools. We have supported a large number of clients in banking, insurance and telecom verticals over the last decade through their transformation programs involving implementation of core business systems, CRM systems, payment systems, billing systems and other sub-systems.
Requirements Management Services
- Requirements development and management plays an important role in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Leading surveys indicate that close to 35% of IT budget is wasted due to rework caused by poor definition and management of business requirements. Although, requirements engineering is a relatively mature discipline with well-established methods and techniques from identification to validation of requirements, defects are still prevalent in requirements specification leading to project failure.
- Poor requirements lead to significant cost overruns as systems developed either do not meet the needs of the user or are not of usable quality. Inadequately trained requirements engineers, stakeholders and requirement evaluators, inappropriate use of requirements analysis techniques, inconsistent processes & methods for engineering requirements, and inadequate usage and selection of requirements modelling and management tools, lead to poor requirements engineering. Enhancing and continuously improving capabilities required for better requirements development and management across people, processes, methods, tools and techniques is the need of the hour.
- our Requirements Advisory Services is aimed at capturing your requirements better and faster when compared to traditional means. Our services include the following :-
- Requirement Maturity Assessment
- Requirement Capability Enhancement
- Requirement Center of Excellence
- Requirement Validation
- Business process modeling
- Our services are collaborative in nature when compared to a consulting mode of engagement whereby we become a part of on-going projects to execute business analysis activities to deliver project deliverables while improving your capabilities. We look towards improving the efficiency of people, processes and systems driving faster gathering of requirements ultimately resulting in faster execution and reach to market.
Non Functional Testing And Performance Testing Services
- The changes in technology landscape and emergence of new age technologies like digital, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud and mobile have been disrupting the development and release cycles of applications constantly.
- Organisations need to ensure that their technology landscape is not only agile and scalable to meet the ever changing needs of their customers, but also stable when faced with issues in a live environment. Any disruption in performance of an application can have far reaching effects on customer satisfaction thereby negatively impacting the organisation’s credibility and brand image.
- Managing the performance of an application environment is one of the biggest challenges faced by enterprises today. It is a continuous evolutionary process that comprises of evaluating, defining, benchmarking, monitoring and managing performance and reliability of systems. Our non-functional assurance services provides you comprehensive insight into the performance of your application by constantly evaluating, benchmarking and monitoring the performance levels across various architectural layers including operating system, network, application and database. Our key services include load testing, volume testing, capacity testing and stress testing.
- Our total performance management approach not only enables you to have a clear picture of your application performance but also enables you to collect and evaluate data to understand root cause of performance issues and take action to prevent future problems.
Data Quality Management Services
- With the onset of the digital era, all businesses are harnessing data and information from their own systems, and using them for critical business decisions and process definitions. Enterprise Data has now come to be classified as a business asset, with management processes dedicated to the capture and management of enterprise data to generate meaningful business information and insights.
- However, 46% of industry leaders cite enterprise data quality as a barrier for adopting business intelligence or Analytics products that are critical to deriving information from data. Enterprise data quality issues plague not only at a corporate business decision-making level, but also at the level of projects undertaken by organisations. On one hand, poor data or lack of visibility into data quality owing to lack of data completeness, data consistency or data accuracy negatively affects projects overruns, costs and delays; and on the other, data quality best practices at a corporate level boosts revenue by 66%, and improves predictability at a project level.
- The quality of data is profiled against :-
- Data Completeness
- Data Conformity
- Data Consistency
- Data Accuracy
- Data Duplication
Business Analysis Services
- Financial entities have to regularly respond to technology adoption while meeting ever increasing compliance oversight and rapidly changing demographic demands. Effective business analysis and solution deployment is key to leverage technology for business goals. However, benchmark reports indicate that organisations with poor business analysis capability had three times as many project failures as successes. It is a well-established fact that inadequate business analysis is the root cause of most project failures. Organisations often acknowledge multiple issues but fail to address the root cause. These issues, left unchecked, can have far reaching impacts to the downstream business outcomes.
- Our Business Analysis (BA) Services aim at strengthening an organisation’s BA capability and straddles across multiple stages of SDLC from requirements and design to BAU support. Our services are bidirectional in nature and help to focus on both business and technology aspects. We improve collaboration and communication between project teams and business with the availability of Business Analyst across the SDLC.
Software Requirements Specification Test Platform
- Test Basis is a proprietary requirements definition workbench that enhances automation testing by consolidating scattered Requirements specification into a domain specific, modular, scalable, maintainable, and readable test basis.
- Not only does it consolidate scattered requirements, but also identifies missing requirements and facilitates the customer’s validation of the tester’s understanding of requirements. Whether the Requirements are elaborate or sketchy (as in most instances of Agile adoption), they are translated into test design for the testers’ benefit using the Test Basis framework.
Key Benefits are as follows :-
- All requirements on a single platform.
- Better requirements quality.
- Clear Impact Analysis.
- Enhances test conditions.
- Easier change management.
- Methodical and measurable traceability.
- Bird’s-eye view for easy review.
- Enables automated processing.
- Integrates with requirement management tools.
- Shift Left - Early defect detection.
Digital Assurance and Digital Transformation Services
- Customer facing applications like mobile and web are at the core of digital transformation across various sectors today. Customers now have a choice to effortlessly switch to alternative providers and are increasingly intolerant of poor user experience, functional defects, below-par performance, or device compatibility issues. Assuring the quality of applications across digital landscape is now more important than ever.
- The latest research from the World Quality Report 2015-16, shows that 35% of the QA and Testing Budget for new development is spent on mobile and front office (customer channel) solutions. Even those organisations with a solid testing foundation encounter challenges with digital quality assurance, including the following:
- Platform, OS and Device fragmentation.
- Device physical characteristics.
- User experience.
- Performance.
- Security.
- System integration.
- Managing app distribution.
