WHAT ARE TEST ADVISORY & CONSULTING SERVICES?

Whether it’s a small company starting to set up their business, a QA team, or a multi-billion-dollar company with matured QA processes or software testing, every business faces unique challenges when it comes to software testing and QA function.

With the ever-increasing innovation and productivity, clients require even higher standards for the quality of a software application. Even though the current testing methods and processes are satisfactory and fitting as per requirements, it will still require more perfection and accuracy in the future. Hence, businesses have to improve and invest in the test processes, and it’s even becoming mandatory for maintaining and balancing the software application’s quality and the overall business processes.

Vihat Technologies is an offshore software testing company that provides test advisory & consulting services for businesses to get the essential expert advice for achieving these goals and objectives and even moves to the subsequent maturity level in the test process and QA. We ensure that you get customized solutions that emphasize your current business requirements and align your future goals and aspirations with the help of TMMi (Test Maturity Model Integration) based assessment. We shall access a business’s current test orientation for the TMMi assessment by identifying areas of improvement and gaps. Based on that, we will develop the roadmap that will be defined and published for prioritizing items that need to be implemented.

REASONS FOR CHOOSING TEST ADVISORY & CONSULTING SERVICES:

Several reasons are present that make choosing test advisory and consulting services a good choice for any business. Below are some of the reasons:

  • A growing number of projects: The need for a better and more structured and documented approach to testing makes test advisory & consulting services necessary for any business.
  • Reorganization or rapid growth of the company: Test advisory and consulting are required for the rapid growth and enhancement of the business and the restructuring of the obsolete and old processes.
  • Unstructured and ambiguous QA processes: It helps in the enhancement of unstructured movements. Unclear responsibilities, missed bugs, lack of integration testing and testing environments, missing releases, and many more issues can arise due to unstructured testing processes.
  • The quality of the product doesn’t turn out to be as expected: Businesses can also choose test advisory & consulting services if they want the quality of their software applications to be as per the expectations because if the quality of their deliverable is low, then they may lose clients.
  • Instability of automated tests: Even though automated tests are powerful and reliable, only through the right hands. Lack of the “correct” test suite architecture and the “incorrect” approach results in failing tests randomly. It results in a frustrated team where nobody understands if it’s a software application bug or the issue of the automated tests.
  • Lack of transparency and control: When you can’t understand and/or control the testing processes at all and don’t have a clear roadmap and vision of what the team is doing, you would require test advisory & consulting services.
  • Lack of knowledge and expertise in the QA team: When there is insufficient knowledge or expertise, it will lead to missing bugs, unstable tests, an unclear vision of the current standard of quality which would take more time for completion and may even delay releases.
  • Not enough QA/testing resources: If you don’t have adequate resources or a QA team, or the current team is stuck, you would like to expand the team by adding extra test engineers, which leads to testing advisory & consultancy services.
  • Increasing the efficiency of QA engineers: Maybe if the current test process isn’t as efficient as possible, you would require test advisory services. For example, it would be better to automate the test cases instead of repeating daily manual testing activities.
  • Errors in test documentation and artifacts: Lack of accuracy in test documentation usually results in non-structured testing. Hence, your users will face any missed bugs that you can stop through test advisory services.
  • Implementation of modern strategies and methodologies required: Both the strategy and methodology depend on several factors for software testing. The most popular ones include Scrum, Continuous Integration, Kanban, Test-Driven Development (TDD), Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD), and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD).

LEVELS DEFINED FOR TMMI:

Below are the levels defined for the TMMi model which are extremely important in order to mature the testing process in your organization.

LEVEL 1: INITIAL

The testing process is unstructured from every aspect and isn’t defined at all. The tests themselves get executed randomly whenever required once the coding gets completed.

  • Undefined process
  • Chaotic, Adhoc
  • Uncertain outcomes
  • No stable environment for supporting the process
LEVEL 2: MANAGED

When the testing activities get detached from the debugging task, the business can reach the managed level. For achieving this level, test strategies and test objectives must be defined beforehand. As noticeable in the test processes, the basic flow should be tested, such as developing and implementing test plans, testing techniques, and strategies.

  • Test Planning
  • Test policy and strategy
  • Test design and execution
  • Test monitoring and control
  • Test environment
LEVEL 3: DEFINED

At this level, testing gets inherited through the comprehensive software development process. Testing processes have formally defined procedures, standards, strategies, and activities that are recorded. There is a well-defined test function for the software testing that is governed, supervised, and reviewed periodically.

  • Test training program
  • Test organization
  • Test life cycle and integration – not confined to a phase following coding
  • Peer reviews
  • Non-functional testing
LEVEL 4: MEASURED

This maturity level can be achieved when the test activity can get systematically measured, controlled, and monitored at the corporate level for the benefits of independent projects.

  • Software quality evaluation
  • Test measurement
  • Advanced peer reviews
Test Advisory & Consulting Services
LEVEL 5: OPTIMIZED

This is the highest maturity level achievable if the data collected from testing activities are employed to minimize defects. The primary purpose at this level would be to enhance the existing testing processes.

  • Quality control
  • Defect prevention
  • Testing process optimization
  • Continuous improvement
