Proof of Concept

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in an automated performance testing solution from qaSignature.  qaSignature  specializes in delivering automated Quality Assurance and Performance Testing Solutions that work by saving you time and money.

The 3 biggest problems that most companies have when trying to do business with consulting companies delivering automated QA testing and performance solutions are:

  1. Getting the project done on time and on budget
  2. Getting a solution that works like they said it would and
  3. Getting a solution that will achieve the projected ROI

This can cause:

  1. Delays and cost overruns
  2. Frustrated Developers and Users
  3. Management Concern.

At qaSignature we protect you from these problems by:

  • utilizing the qaSignature methodology and supporting harness tools as standard on all engagements
  • Senior Architects who are trained, tested and certified on the methodology and tools
  • Development productivity 4 times faster than standard, and maintenance of the automation up to 200 Times faster
  • A fixed price contract with Maintenance of the automation included for the first year
  • A low risk way for you to test our process.

To assist our clients in making the best decision possible, we are proposing the Automation Diagnostic and Proof of Concept. This approach provides you the opportunity to take a low risk approach to developing a resource efficient solution to Quality Assurance Testing.

Goals and Objectives

The goals of the Diagnostic and Proof of Concept are to determine the optimal approach to achieve the following objectives. 1. Speed up product development, and 2. Maximize the development and quality assurance productivity.

 

Approach

qaSignature personnel will perform a diagnostic of the quality assurance challenges. This will entail the review of relevant QA processes, current automation and additional opportunities for automation. Current processes will be evaluated for 1. Installation, 2. GUI Navigation and 3. Functionality regression. Members of the development organization will be interviewed in order to confirm priorities for automation.

The current quality assurance findings will be compared to opportunities for improvement through implementation of automation. Each area will be evaluated using a Return on Investment Model. This will facilitate the development of a prioritized list of recommended automation development projects.

The first recommendation will be the scope of the Proof of Concept. This automation will be developed in the qaSignature lab using actual client software examples as agreed upon in the diagnostic.

The deliverables of the Diagnostic and Performance Proof Of Concept will include the following:

  1. Review of Existing QA and Development Processes.
  2. A prioritized list of recommended scenarios for automation and testing
  3. A regression proof of concept using actual client software examples
  4. Presentation to client executive team, the results of the proof of concept development.
  5. Develop a business case to support recommended automation.
  6. Present draft of a fixed price proposal for the next phase of the project. The detailed scope of this proposal will be developed during the diagnostic and proof of concept phase.

We welcome the opportunity to be of assistance to your company. Please don't hesitate to communicate your questions or requests for additional information.
