TestIT - Benefits

The software industry is currently focused on the benefits of proper structured testing and TestIT provides such a service. Many recent high-profile examples in the UK of software failing to perform illustrate how useful this service is and how risks to the success of a project can be minimised by good planning and the inclusion of a thorough testing regime.
It is essential that test is considered at inception of a project and not near the end; TestIT’s own 5-star Product Realisation System identifies this and provides a solution.

Trusted Third Party
TestIT’s customers have found that the testing provided by TestIT has proven to be extremely cost effective. Issues and unexpected events are identified at an early stage, allowing defects to be resolved before system roll-out or integration.
Of particular importance is the inclusion of an independent testing organisation where a system is being supplied by a third party; TestIT can identify problems at an early stage - thus ensuring the full and continuing commitment of the supplier as contract stage payments are often dependent on the success of the functionality and performance of the product.

Methodology
TestIT’s 5-star Product Realisation Process is used to develop a clear strategy for costing, planning and gaining approval of each test component before commencement of the testing activity. This in turn leads to an efficient, timely and cost effective testing regime. TestIT prides itself in the planning, preparation and especially the presentation of testing activities.

Processes
TestIT employs its own web-based defect tracking and reporting process which enables the seamless and efficient identification, tracking and closure (when appropriate) of issues and observations identified during the testing process. Facilities are available to provide searching, reporting and statistical analysis of defects and detailed management reports. These reports can be produced at the conclusion of the test activity or indeed used to provide interim status of the testing at any point in the test cycle.
This system has been used successfully over many years on a wide variety of applications and technologies and is very popular with TestIT’s customers, providing transparency and instilling confidence that the testing and test reporting has been carried out meticulously and documented evidence is presented in a faithful and clear fashion.

Security, Confidentiality and Integrity
TestIT is very familiar with working within the bounds of the security, confidentiality and integrity required by the international banking industry.
TestIT is registered with the Information Commissioner under the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998.
