What We Offer: Product Lifecycle Optimization: Automated Testing Center

The Need for Greater Automation

Manual software testing is time consuming, resource intensive and costly. All too often, it is the only option available to budget and resource constrained QA organizations as they struggle to meet their quality objectives within tight delivery schedules. Automation can improve the speed and efficiency of many software testing tasks, providing welcome boosts in reliability, productivity and quality. But test automation requires an upfront investment, specialized expertise and available resources to implement successfully.

How Dextrys Can Help

Dextrys created our Automation Test Center (ATC) service offering for clients who want the advantages of greater automation, but seek to avoid its risks and pitfalls. We help our clients maximize ROI by identifying and focusing on the tests, activities and workflows that gain the greatest benefit from automation and can best support desired delivery objectives. The ATC supplies the knowledge, resources and infrastructure to define, launch and operate successful automated testing initiatives while minimizing both upfront investment requirements and impact on already overburdened internal QA and testing teams. We offload tedious testing and environment maintenance activities, ensure auditability and repeatability of test results and provide transparency across the engagement along with actionable insights from test outcomes through our quality dashboard.

Key features of our Automated Testing Center offering include:

Production of stable, reusable test assets (automated scripts and data)
Insight into testing progress, results, and performance
A standard set of tools, including a low cost Open Source option
The ability to optionally manage all or part of the test environment
A flexible delivery model that adapts to our clients' operations – not the other way around
