Test Process Consultancy

As development groups evolve the demands placed on them to deliver ever more complex solutions requires a constant awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of the quality processes that underpin these solutions.

Vero Test consultants have significant experience across a wide range of development environments and can assist organisations determine strategic approaches that will reduce development/testing costs and deployment risks.
 

Business Continuity Management Consultancy

Sarbanes Oxley, Basel II, and the Turnbull Report have all had a global impact on business in a range of markets. Flu Pandemics, military actions and terrorism are threats faced by organisations which have to be understood and controlled.

Vero Test currently has consultants working in a range of markets across South-east Asia that are helping our clients manage the unique threats they face.
 

Infrastructure Testing Services

A minor change to a complex technical environment can generate major headaches. Understanding the impact of change on areas such as end-to-end performance prior to implementing the change into the production environment will allow customers to minimise disruption to their internal and external clients. The use of intelligent capacity planning and testing tools to model and validate usage scenarios will increase the opportunity to identify and mitigate infrastructure issues in a controlled manner. The addition of intelligent monitoring solutions to external client facing systems can allow organisations to identify production issues before they impact users. Vero Test has capacity planners and network architecture engineers who specialise in the optimisation of diverse infrastructure environments.
 

Testing Services

• Test Managers/Leads

  The Lead Tester is the interface between the business, the development team and the test team. Vero Test’s Lead Testers understand how to develop test strategies that balance risk mitigation with the business objectives of cost containment and timely deployment. Their experience across a wide range of industries and environments allows them to bring a broader focus to the test project and imbue this “world view” into the test team. Mentoring of internal staff and handover of strategies and processes are an integral part of the Vero Test Service offering.

• Load/Performance Test Engineers

  Vero Test Pty Ltd Load and Performance Engineers can assist organisations and software developers identify issues of concurrency, performance and volume before these issues impact business throughputs. With the proliferation of client facing solutions, and the complexity of the infrastructure that supports them, it is critical that businesses understand the impact/s load; volume, and concurrency have on the user experience. In web enabled environments the expectation of users is that their needs will be serviced quickly, efficiently and accurately “24*7”. Modelling projected peak loads allows a business to more competently plan current hardware and software needs and schedule upgrades/additions to maximise their benefit.

• Functional Test Engineers

  Test Automation has long been seen as a panacea for quality issues in functional test groups. There is an opportunity for organisations to formalise their functional tests, integrate them into a structured regression test suite and deploy these tests at will across multiple project iterations. Often Test engineers are employed to meet a specific and immediate test goal. This leads to automated test suites that iterate well within the test project they were created for and badly when used as part of a wider regression test suite. All Vero Test Functional Test Engineers understand the need for our clients to maximise their investment in their automated testing. Vero Test uses formal coding standards within all of their test scripts, and structured handover and documentation practices to ensure a long-term benefit from an automation exercise.

• Business Acceptance Testers/Coaches

  Major releases/deployments often draw resources from within business units at times of critical load. Business users often have a strong understanding of the business functionality and little understanding of test best practice. Vero Test has a team of Business Testers/Coaches who can work with an organisation’s business acceptance testers to combine business expertise with test expertise. This approach maximises coverage and quality and often reduces test timeframes and resource requirements.

• Manual Functional Testers

  Often test environments need to quickly respond to the impact of project overruns. As one of the later links in the chain, test durations can be reduced. The addition of short term, high quality test resources can help businesses mitigate the potential reduced test windows has to impact the delivery quality.
