Unwillingness of IT organizations to accept system testing as a strategic IT function results in their losing one very important business point – clear IT test strategy enables business to achieve its competitive advantage, stand out in the mass, attain new and keep the current customers, strengthen and improve business relations and save time and money
Both customers and management appreciate security and extra value that a well defined, properly conducted and well documented test strategy provides. For each IT organization, the most important quality is the product quality delivered to the customer, and the act of owning a test strategy gives the customer a clear message that what is planned and specified will be delivered as well.
CROZ has its own, thoroughly elaborated testing methodology which respects the best world practices from the field and can be adjusted to specific customer or project needs.
Testing services we provide:
Consulting
Appropriate test strategy is crucial for successful delivery of any software development project. Test strategy describes the testing approach and provides mutual understanding to interested parties and the project team about how the testing will be conducted. Test strategy identifies project risks and determinates the best approach for their elimination, by defining appropriate levels and types of testing needed to be performed, pertaining roles and responsibilities, test plan and software tools that will serve as test support.
CROZ consulting services cover the entire testing process throughout the whole software development cycle. Our experience in assessing Your testing approach at organizational and project level has the purpose of improving the quality of Your software deliveries, focusing on higher efficiency of the software delivered.
CROZ will assess Your current practices and testing procedures, recognize the limitations, identify the best test strategy that will satisfy the agreed business and project goals, develop test plans and test cases, manage the tests, execute them and measure their results.
If Your organization does not own a developed testing methodology, CROZ will assist with adoption and creation of the most suitable methodology as a part of Your quality management system.
Education
A prerequisite for a successful quality management system in each organization lays in its knowledge, or rather its highly qualified staff. CROZ has a years-long practice in education services that are prepared and conducted by certified instructors, and in the context of quality management, we divide the education services into two fields – methodological and practical. The first field deals with key testing concepts and quality management, in general, through the whole software development cycle, while the second one deals with the analysis of particular practical subjects such as –software testing tools, manual testing, creating test scripts, managing defects and changes and so on. All catalog courses can be specially customized to specific problems that the client wishes to elaborate and in that way we can transfer best industrial practices on real life examples.
Key factor in engagement of any kind is in continuous improvement and progress of Your own staff. We will work with You in order to implement the improvements to Your system, minimizing the testing costs and simultaneously optimizing the process of quality management.
Independent testing
Complex applications with many functionalities are successful on the market only if they are reliable and productive. Recognizing this, CROZ offers a high quality service of independent software testing. Using the service assures independency of the test team in relation to the development team, while the testing itself can be done either manually or with assistance of most suitable test tools or combination of both.
CROZ conducts testing in regards to the predefined plans and requirements, whether they are defined by the customer, CROZ or mutual engagement. The service includes different types of testing, depending of identified project needs, e.g. functional, regression, penetration, performance, integration testing etc.
We can develop our testing service according to Your specific needs and we can ensure that You achieve the satisfactory quality level. We offer support to Your quality management process, recognizing the shortcomings and providing the answer to the challenge of delivering new business systems. The current world trend of outsourcing the service of independent testing brings many benefits due to the mentioned independence of test teams in regards to development teams. Some of them are:
Increase of user security considering the system is tested by people who completely understand the business logic set aside from the development team view.
Software specifications and requests are validated and verified in parallel with the testing while the software is iteratively designed and developed.
Healthy ‘competition’ between the test and development team is created resulting in higher quality software.
Reliable information provided by the test team enables timely corrections and decisions.
