Alacrity Technologies is pleased to announce the appointment of Donovan Mulder as its Head of QA and Testing Practice. Mulder will head up Alacrity's well-established QA and Test Practice and drive the launch and growth of Alacrity's TaaS (testing-as-a-service) offering.
Mulder is a highly experienced, passionate and motivated software testing professional. He has over 16 years' experience gained in various industries. He is active in the field of software testing research, and has published a number of papers and regularly speaks at public conferences in the testing arena.
The changing business landscape and challenging economic conditions have placed tremendous pressure on business and IT departments to optimise the costs related to releasing software. On-demand services offer organisations much-needed financial flexibility in the form of utility-like, usage-based pricing. By switching to an on-demand quality assurance (QA) or testing service, organisations can more effectively eradicate quality issues before releasing new software.
The rapid pace of technological advancement and competition, not to mention business's ever-increasing dependence on technology, is forcing companies across industries to release new applications and updates much more frequently. In response to this, Alacrity now provides on-demand testing services, also known as testing-as-a-service (TaaS). On-demand testing services include performance, automated regression, manual and security testing. Test environment provisioning and other testing services, such as test suite management and test data management, are also provided.
Alacrity's mission is to provide its clients with a specialised, reliable, high-quality alternative to in-house resources for the development and implementation of leading QA and testing methodologies. As a true alternative to in-house resources, Alacrity offers a very high level of practical experience, know-how and an appreciation of related business and IT challenges.

Alacrity enables clients by providing high-quality IT solutions through QA and testing services that minimise risk, improve time to market, optimise ROI and ensure the scalability, reliability and performance of the IT systems throughout the enterprise.
Alacrity's QA and testing competency is built on years of SDLC, software testing experience and knowledge creation through research and development.
