SAC’s approach to Quality Assurance encompasses best practices, certified experts, a patented methodology and award-winning tools – in the right combination to meet your business objectives.

 

  Business Requirements Management

SAC’s disciplined approach to quality assurance starts with a focus on meeting the needs of the business. Early involvement of the QA function in planning and requirements definition ensures that the QA and testing efforts are aligned with the high-priority and high-risk areas of the project. We believe that early and close collaboration between development, quality assurance, operations and the line of business ensures that the QA function considers all important aspects—such as reliability, security, compliance issues and performance–of delivering high-quality applications

  Test Management

Our experience shows that a life-cycle test management improves the quality of the deployed application. By balancing risk and cost, you can deliver applications on time, at less cost, with fewer resources, and with far fewer defects. Our process allows the QA team to analyze the various business and technical risks associated with the development effort. Test scripts, test scenarios and test cycles can be designed to test high-risk areas of the project first.

  Unit, Functional and Load Testing

Our experienced consultants have extensive automation tools experience. SAC provides a comprehensive development, debugging and tuning solution, from concept to coding to unit test completion.

  Quality Discipline

Real-time metrics and comprehensive reporting of key quality and performance metrics allow IT management to manage project costs, schedules and quality levels throughout the QA and testing effort. IT management can make informed “go live” decisions, deploying applications with confidence. SAC’s approach is designed to help IT organizations deliver high-quality applications, on schedule and within budget. Many companies find it difficult to balance all three of these quality yardsticks: number of defects, project schedule and project budget. Usually one or two of these indicators are sacrificed to meet the third and more important objective. SAC provides a level of discipline that allows all three of these objectives to be achieved, on a consistent basis, project after project.
