Why Independent testing

Independence :

  • Independent third party testing brings objectivity, rigor and transparency to the testing defect reporting process.

  • Restores proper priority to testing: development vendors tend to cut costs and make up for development time overruns by cutting down on testing schedules.

  • Provides checks and balances against the development vendor by being the ‘eyes and ears' of the user/client and hence owning the requirements.

  • Enhances client/user buy-in on both developed software applications as well as products: faster marketability with users.

Domain Focus:

  • Long-term domain exposures and deep subject-matter expertise ensures that gap in the business requirements / Functional Specification/ System Design ( BR/ FS / SD gaps ) are identified and flagged off early on in the project: normally testing can rarely identify BR/FS defects.

  • Domain focus combined with testing expertise ensures comprehensive test coverage and trace-ability: Business Requirements Assurance.

Testing as Core Competency:

  • Test methodologies will reflect ‘Best Practice's' in testing arising out of hundreds of person-years of successful testing projects.

  • Standardized test methodologies and testing tools ensure accrual of the benefits of conscious test-ware re-use and comprehensive test and change documentation.

  • Multiple test skills arising out of cross-trained test teams & knowledge leveraged from projects on multiple platforms/systems/types of testing.

  • Resource scalability: specialist test vendor can deploy additional resources at short notice if required.

  • By executing test planning in parallel to development.

    1. Compresses total project time without compromising delivery quality.

    2. Faster time to market.

  • Higher productivity is ensured by metric tracking & documentation.

  • Test effort and schedule estimations become more accurate and realistic based on empirical data and productivity metrics based approach.
