CQA Assessment & Strategy

Altersis Performance assesses the existing QA practice as a whole and in particular the existing test automation efforts identifying gaps to optimize effort, the related costs and time to market potential.

Nowadays, agile methodologies are more and more popular in a way that being agile becomes a must for most of the application development teams. The adaptation of testing approaches, especially Performance Testing, however is way behind this trend due to a lack of proper tools as well as processes.

A key challenge is repeating the most critical test cases cost efficiently, transparently for all key stakeholders and in the shortest possible time frame.

The first step to face these challenges is a maturity assessment of the existing automation tools and frameworks, APM abilities and Performance Engineering practices. This is performed over standard adaptable questionnaires and a limited number of interviews with key stakeholders.

Altersis Performance services will then compare the findings to market best practices and against the extensive project history at similar customer sites. The combination of the findings, the comparison and the vision provided by the customer are then combined into a single report. This report will provide an evaluation of maturity in the different areas on governance, processes and tooling and give clear recommendations to reach the provided strategy. The final element of the strategy is a high-level modular roadmap including costs.

Our assessments and the defined high-level strategies are ideal tools for C-Level Directors for guidance of strategic decisions in the area of test continuous quality assurance (CQA).
