Our Clients Say

We started working with ScienceSoft in early 2011 to test our core application called Careware. The application is quite complex and has many ERP and mobile elements in it.

We have worked with the team in close cooperation ever since and value their professional as well as flexible attitude towards testing. Since starting our cooperation, the test team has changed in size and people, with one tester remaining with us for already 2 years now! We currently have a team of 3 very enthusiastic and good testers with whom we are very happy.

Service Stages of Our Managed Testing Offering

ScienceSoft provides end-to-end managed testing services, delivering the service in the following stages:

Stage 1. Discovery

ScienceSoft’s QA consultant audits your existing development and QA processes and available IT infrastructure, analyzes project documentation and interviews key stakeholders to understand the testing scope and specifics and identify QA-related problems and risks. Based on the obtained information, the QA consultant prepares a detailed collaboration roadmap.

Stage 2. Transition

The QA consultant passes over the knowledge obtained at the Discovery stage to ScienceSoft’s test team, designs a testing strategy, identifies QA process improvements, and creates a plan for QA process improvements roll out. The test team sets up required tools and takes on the responsibility for the test process management and the quality of software under test.

Stage 3. Service delivery

The test team starts principal project activities comprising test planning, test design, test execution and test reporting.

Test planning

We design a consistent test strategy with regard to potential project risks and constrains, assign resources with relevant industry and technology domain specialization, choose an optimal approach to test environment configuration and more.

Test design

With an end user in mind, we design reusable, modular test cases with standardized naming and structure and prepare representative test data with regard to data privacy and security regulations.

If automated testing is in scope, we model flexible test automation architectures that stay relevant in the long term and do not require much redesigning with changing project requirements.

Test execution

The scope of software testing we execute includes but is not limited to the following testing types:

Test reporting

We provide detailed reports on the executed tests on a build, daily or weekly basis or any other appropriate schedule.

Stage 4. Service evolution

Once the set activities function well, we start to continuously review and improve the established QA processes by:

• Extending the service scope with relevant testing types, e.g., performance testing, security testing.
• Extending the service scope with relevant service elements, e.g., TCoE (Testing Center of Excellence) setup.
• Increasing the share of automated tests.

Additional Services

Along with the managed testing services as such, we can provide the following additional services:

• TCoE setup, assessing your organization’s readiness for a TCoE and creating a TCoE transformation roadmap.
• Business process validation, checking whether your software supports your business processes on a project, periodic or continuous basis.
• Pre-certification aid, verifying your application’s compliance with relevant general (for instance, GDPR) and industry-specific (e.g., HIPAA in medical and pharmaceutical industries, PCI DSS in financial services and banking) regulations and standards.
