Nowhere is effective governance more critical than in the organisations that deliver software and software-intensive systems. Increasingly, companies depend on software to run their business processes.
For companies to succeed, it must have applications that:
* Consistently perform well in a runtime environment;
* Are high quality; and
* Thoroughly tested before deployment.
This requires business processes (governance) for software delivery that are adaptable to many different types of projects and speed time to market, rather than slowing it down.
In turn, such a process must be governed by an adaptable framework consisting of rules, best practices, and continuous management visibility into project progress and alignment with business requirements. Good governance is different from good management, which is often tactical and reactive rather than strategic and proactive. Many software testing and quality assurance (QA) organisations are stuck in the cycle of continuously testing applications and don't have a clear process in place or a way to monitor their process. Organisations need to have a quality process, put the proper metrics in place, and then continuously undergo process improvement.
At STS, we believe that the software quality assurance is not just testing but a series of tasks that are focused to ensure the highest standards of the delivered software products. This allows organisations to increase their return on investment as work is done correctly the first time around.
Regardless of whether you have an established QA department, you are planning to hire your first QA engineer, or do not think you need a quality assurance team, we at STS can help you develop the highest quality product at the most economical approach. STS is able to assist you with its new quality assurance solution:
