Is your testing time squeezed? This could help!

Helping test professionals get best-of-breed software testing tools that increase productivity, consistency & coverage
If you work in testing, even if you work in another area of software development, you will know the universal truth - No matter what happens during a project, testing will have less time than planned.
What can you do about it?
Well, you’ve probably seen some or all of the following options: Test less, get your test team to work evenings and weekends, drag business users into the test team, cut corners in reporting and evidence capture… the list is long, and painful.
All these options increase the risk of a failure in live – that’s damage to your revenue and reputation.
There must be a better way?
I help testers increase productivity through test tools. With the correct tooling you can get do more in less time. For example:
- Test Management Tools like ALM/Quality Center and Octane provide a central repository, it might not sound much but this eliminates huge amounts of time. So much of a tester’s life can be spent finding tests, checking they’re ready, collating the results and most importantly test reporting – ALM/QC and Octane eliminate this time completely.
- Functional Automation Tools like UFT One allow incredibly fast test executions with relatively small set up costs – An accepted metric to bear in mind is, if you’re going to run a test 4 times, it’s generally quicker to automate
- Service Virtualization allows you to start testing earlier – To ‘shift left’ and start testing before your application is complete. You can even run end-to-end tests before the whole test environment is available.
If your testing time is squeezed, get in touch with me today. I can help you choose, gain approval, and purchase the right tools to maximise your time.
