Global Testing Services: Business Case

See information the way you want to.

Speed to market of new products and services is critical to maintaining your competitive edge. But the demand for faster application development presents challenges to immediate access and efficient delivery. To deliver business value, your applications must perform reliably from end to end. With the increasing complexity of software development and the impact of production defects on quality and cost, application failure is not an option.

To maintain successful, efficient operations, you need to test your business systems and applications – from the network and hardware to the software and services – for function, performance, security and quality. But ineffective and inefficient testing practices can increase system outages, putting your business at risk and reducing your growth potential.

Effective Testing Makes a Difference

Dependable, independent, rigorous testing can help your IT organization become more productive and earn a greater return on your applications and infrastructure investment. With comprehensive testing, you can:

  • Improve software quality
  • Accelerate speed to delivery
  • Reduce operational risk
  • Decrease the cost of reworking your applications

EDS Global Testing Services mitigates application failures and helps you achieve business results you can measure. How? By identifying high-value, high-risk business requirements and focusing on testing activities that minimize the risk of failures associated with those requirements.

Improve Software Quality

Because quality to us means consistent, predictable, reliable behavior, we believe quality should be a core component of your application, not just something added during the testing phase of your systems development lifecycle. We build quality into your applications by aligning our testing approach to your company's systems development lifecycle to drive defects out of the system in each phase of the lifecycle. And because quality is built into the application during each phase of its lifecycle, your applications achieve fewer defects, require less rework, are higher quality and have a faster time to delivery.

Using ambiguity and risk analysis, we drive ambiguity out of requirements in the early phase of software development – a root cause of more than half of software defects. During the design phase, we review and model your system and architectural designs and consider:

  • Cost-effective operation over the application's lifetime
  • Effective use of the targeted infrastructure

In the construction and testing phases, we conduct code walk-throughs, unit testing, code complexity analysis and code security scanning to test for security vulnerabilities.

EDS' testing approach ensures quality is built in during every phase of the software development cycle

Accelerate Speed To Delivery

Address issues before they negatively affect your application function or performance. Our risk-based, requirements-driven approach to testing achieves this by:

  • Aligning to your preferred development methodology
  • Analyzing ambiguity and risk as requirements are defined
  • Responding to changing requirements and automatically generating test cases with functional modeling
  • Identifying and removing system bottlenecks through performance modeling
  • Automating testing activities for regression testing using test automation frameworks
  • Reducing defects and rework
  • Determining the right amount of testing for your development initiatives

Reduce Operational Risk

Participating in the early stages of development projects allows our testers to focus testing activities where they provide the most value. Going beyond simply fixing code errors, we:

  • Reduce your applications' vulnerability to security attacks
  • Avert performance problems
  • Reduce defects in your applications’ design that can seriously affect your business operations

Driven to achieve zero outages, EDS testers mitigate operational risk by verifying and validating your system over and over again before approving it for deployment.
