Testing always seems to be pushed to the end of the project, just when time and money is running short. The following suggestions will reduce the time and cost you will need for testing. We can assist you with implementing these suggestions with the ITS services shown in the adjacent column.

Reduce the number of defects from poor requirements: Many of the defects that are found during the final stages of testing could have been avoided if better requirements were defined at the beginning. ITS can improve the way you define the requirements of your system that you provide to your software developers. Requirements management is closely associated with testing processes and is a key factor in conducting effective testing.
Reduce testing time by automating your regression testing: Managing the impacts of changes to your system can be time consuming. ITS are experienced in developing regression test suites and by automating this testing, significant time can be saved in your deployment cycle.

Select the right test tools for your environment: Test tools can add significant value to your testing project but they can also lead to expensive and embarrassing mistakes. ITS can assist with assessing your needs and selecting the best tools for you. We also have test tool specialists to support the implementation and ongoing administration activities.

Outsource the supply of the test environment: Many companies cannot afford to provide and support testing environments as well as production and development infrastructure. ITS has established a software test laboratory for internal projects and can rent this facility to you for a reasonable fee, saving you equipment purchase costs, set up time and test lab staffing costs.
Provide training to your staff to improve testing efficiencies: Many companies have existing test teams that can benefit from improving their understanding of testing terminology, test management, test prioritisation, techniques for designing, conducting and recording tests, development testing, test configuration management and the application of test tools. ITS can provide this training.
