Test Automation
 
Time-to-market, quality-to-market, cost reduction and a lack of test personnel are today becoming more important issues on the management agenda. Testing covers a large part of the activities within IT projects. Testing needs to be carried out faster, better and more efficiently in order to provide more and early insight into the quality of the information systems. Therefore it is not only desirable but it is actually a necessity to automate the test process or at least parts of it.

To enable reduction of costs and lead time of testing, and at the same time guarantee the quality of testing, the use of test tools is essential. Especially for regression tests automation of the test process offers enormous benefits.
Polteq provides the complete set of services to support you in automating the test process.

Tool selection
Purchasing test tools requires a sound preparation and selection process. The experts of Polteq have many years of experience in the use of tools of several market leaders. They can help you to select the set of tools that suits your organisation and test automation objectives best.

Implementation and realisation
Automated execution of the tests is most valuable. Particularly the automated execution of regression tests which will save a lot of time. We gladly help you with designing and developing a custom-made automated test suite to implement this.
Polteq uses a universally applicable design for developing the test suite. The design is based on the data-driven approach, using a library with test actions. A test suite developed in this way results in reusable components and test cases. This facilitates the development of new test suites.

The automated test suite will include procedures and subsequent guidelines for management and maintenance. In this way, an up-to-date test suite will always be available. If desired, this service can be outsourced to Polteq.

The introduction of test automation usually has considerable impact on the test organisation. For example, a successful test automation project is largely dependent on the structure of the test process. The experienced test managers and test consultants of Polteq can help you organise your test process in such a way that it is suitable for the use of test tools.

Courses
With the implementation of test tools the testing staff will be faced with new working methods. To actually work more efficiently they will need to be trained appropriately. Polteq has the relevant training courses available.

Tool optimisation check
To assess the possibilities for improvement of your automated tests Polteq can perform a quick review. This will directly result in actions for the short and long term optimisation of current test assets. If required we will create a business case as well.
