Reduction of the risk of failure of the solution

This can be improved by adopting a risk based approach when prioritising and determining the depth of testing. Risk should be considered from three distinct points of view the business risks, the technical risks and the operational risks. After ranking these risks can then be mapped to the planned tests to see where and when they are mitigated.

nFocus has a risk focused test process which can help you to determine and manage these risks.

Increasing confidence of successful implementation of the solution

Confidence can be increased by showing that the right things have been tested at the right time and that risks have been mitigated to an acceptable level. Confidence is derived from repeatable processes which demonstrate coverage and improving reliability.

nFocus has a full lifecycle testing process which can be used as the basis for your organisations testing process.

Objective Information

Information from testing is a key driver for the project and the business at executive, project and operational levels. Knowing the quality of the solution is critical in determining the risk of implementation. Knowledge of the quality of the process by which the solution is developed is also vital to enable continual process improvement.

nFocus has expertise in how to collect and present information derived from testing.

Resources

Personnel are often the single biggest cost of testing. The typical peaks and troughs in workload experienced by an organisation exacerbates the problem.

Often the solution is seen to be co-opting all and sundry to test the solution without clear guidance and training in the disciplines of testing.

We believe that core test skills are required within the organisation if they are to plan effectively and efficiently resource the projects with the right skill at the right time.

nFocus can help you with setting up a centre of excellence which enables you to mange test resources in and effective and efficient manner. In addition we can supply test teams on and offshore to satisfy peak loads.

Tools

Using technology to reduce the cost of testing has not delivered the promised benefits. This in part has been due to the lack of understanding of where technology can benefit testing and where it does not. Investments in tools can quickly be lost if key personnel leave. We believe that the answer to these problems is to incorporate technology tightly into the development and test processes, and to disconnect the test case development from the tools by using an automation framework.

We have considerable practical expertise in implementing this methodology - gained in high visibility leading edge projects.
