qaSignature Helps Ardais Realize Significant Savings By Building QA Automation Test Suite

Project Will Reduce Time Required To Complete Quality Assurance Testing Translating Into $1,000,000 Savings Over Next 12 Months.

Burlington, MA, November 1, 2005– qaSignature, specialists in the development of automation testing solutions for rapid quality assurance testing of software applications reported today that it has helped Ardais Corporation’s bioinformatics group successfully introduce an agile software development methodology to the development and testing of the Ardais Biospecimen Management System. The methodology requires complete regression testing of each software build, which is only possible with automated testing. qaSignature is the market leader in maintainable automation testing solutions.

“The collaboration between the Ardais software development team and qaSignature has brought immediate tangible results that quadrupled development team productivity, an accomplishment for which Ardais received a CIO 100 Award in 2003.  It will also translate into savings for future software development” commented Gregg Yost, Ardais’ VP of Engineering. Dr. Yost estimates that for the next 12 months of development, the investment made in an agile methodology with automated testing and the ability to test applications overnight with virtually no manpower will translate into $1,000,000 savings.

qaSignature’s history with agile methodologies and test automation shows that the benefits go beyond cash savings.  These improvements also translate into opportunity benefits that derive from the ability to bring the same high quality product to the market in almost half the time. “We demonstrated that our methodology produces predictable results for our clients” said Vlad Shamis, CEO and Founder of qaSignature.  “My compliments to the Ardais Team for their energy and commitment to this effort.”
