With our many years of testing experience, The Test Shop can assist you in designing a test strategy for your company that can be used as a guide across one or many projects.

• This strategy can then be used to feed into the more detailed test plan.
• The Test Shop can also provide expert analysis to help solve any test problem you may have and assist you in implementing the solution to this problem.

By using our experience test management resource, we can

• Reduced implementation time by us highlighting and using proven test practices, methodologies or test tools.

• Rapidly ramp up or down of resources as required throughout the project lifecycle, bringing in the right resources at the right time and avoiding the overheads of full-time test resources.

• Innovation and support in moving towards new testing methods and automation tools where required.

• Detailed weekly management testing reporting

• Detailed test exit report linking to the Test Plan

We can create a detailed test plan to include

• Features to be tested

• Features not to be tested

• Approach • Item pass/fail criteria

• Suspension criteria and resumption requirements

• Test deliverables

• Testing tasks

• Environmental needs

• Responsibilities

• Staffing and training needs

• Schedule

• Risks and contingencies

• Approvals

Why not let The Test Shop take the hassle out of your test scripting and execution. Our skilled professionals can

• Write all your positive and negative test cases mapping back to your requirements, showing full test coverage against your requirements.
• Execute these test case for you
  • Running new test cases against the new functionality in the latest build
  • Regression testing previously executed test cases to ensure nothing has broken in the new build.

We can automate your manual tests to allow

• More frequent tests – for example, in continuous integration testing, environment smoke tests and regression testing of new builds.
• Tests can be run 24/7.
• Increasing test coverage.
• Executing tests that are complex, difficult or time-consuming to carry out manually.
• Executing tests that are mundane and repetitive.
• Enabling your manual testers to focus on more valuable activities.
• Reducing the cost and time of executing tests.
• Increasing your confidence at 'go live'.

During the test execution stage, we will find and raise defects. We can also manage this defect process through the following stages

• Ensure visibility of the defect across the project and development team
• Prioritisation of the defect with business stakeholders.
• Escalation of the defect to the development team
• Work closely with the development team to assist them in fixing the defect
• Ensure the defect is retested against the correct build and environment.
• Ensure test scripts are updates if the fix involves process changes.
• Ensure full regression testing is conducted across the build if required.
• Assist with any defect analysis on how we can drive these defects out of future code development.
