QA Team Revitalization

The Challenge:

A software company struggling to overcome poor customer satisfaction, low QA team morale, and degrading cross-functional communication and teamwork must revitalize its QA team.

The company’s lack of visibility into test coverage is causing numerous post-release quality issues, an increase in Tech Support calls, and several unanticipated maintenance projects. This is consuming development team resources and bogging down new software development schedules. As a result, confidence in the QA team is waning throughout the company, and is limiting the leader’s ability to recover momentum and morale organically.

The QA leader is under immense pressure from executive management to improve quality immediately in order to retain unhappy customers; but the QA leader is without the time, resources and know-how to do so successfully while meeting the demands of an accelerated development cycle.

Real Time Quality Assurance Infusion

The Challenge:

The release date of a major software product is only weeks away, and is in jeopardy of being missed. The project team realizes that catching up using only internal resources is virtually impossible, and upon entering the test phase of the project, discovers that they do not possess the lab resources or test tools necessary to complete testing.

In order to meet the impending release date with an acceptable level of software quality, the project team needs additional personnel, lab resources, and test tools.

Independent Verification & Validation

The Challenge:

A government entity is required by law to obtain independent verification and validation (IV&V) of software developed by a third party, This organization needs IV&V to confirm that all required functionality has been built into the software and to gain visibility into the quality of the software delivered by the third party development company.

Investment Due Diligence

The Challenge:

Prior to investing, this firm needs an unbiased assessment of the competitiveness, functionality, usability, performance and overall quality of an investment prospect’s software.

After investing, this firm needs independent verification and validation of the investment recipient’s progress against development milestones and quality objectives tied to the investment.
