Take control of quality with our strategic testing practice framework

Modern organisations face significant challenges as they transform from central project teams to agile delivery teams. Whether you're modernising legacy systems or launching new services, our testing practice framework helps you:

Standardise quality: Implement consistent testing practices across all projects.
Reduce risks: Identify and address issues early in development.
Scale effectively: Adapt testing practices as your needs grow.
Build confidence: Demonstrate robust quality processes to stakeholders.
Optimise resources: Centralise expertise while distributing knowledge.

Eight pillars of technology delivery confidence

Our testing practice framework structures quality assurance across eight core elements that work together to deliver comprehensive testing excellence:

1. Strategy & Governance

Ensure consistent test strategy, governance and operating model implementation.

2. Test Approach & Process

Centralised agile test standards and methodology that can be applied across your organisation.

3. People

Build consistent knowledge and skills across your QA delivery teams.

4. Environments & Data

Implement effective environments, strategy and test data management.

5. Non-Functional Test

Apply proven strategy, standards and tooling expertise for system qualities.

6. Metrics & Reporting

Gain clear test effectiveness and efficiency insights to drive improvements.

7. Automation & Tooling

Deploy strategic frameworks, standards and tooling expertise to accelerate delivery.

8. Continuous Improvement

Optimise test processes through best practice and process improvement.

Each pillar can stand alone or work in harmony with others, allowing you to focus on your most pressing needs while maintaining the option to expand coverage over time. Whether you need support in one specific area or across multiple pillars, we tailor our approach to deliver exactly what your organisation requires.

This modular structure ensures you can:

Start with the pillars most critical to your current objectives.
Add additional elements as your needs evolve.
Scale up to comprehensive coverage when ready.

Our experts will help you determine which combination of pillars best serves your goals, timeline, and budget.
