The Devtest Solution Team

Additional Resources

Technical Assurance Agreement (TAA)
The key to the success of our projects is the generation of an active partnership among the project stakeholders:  business management, business users, test engineers and developers.  We bring our combined practices, resources, tools, templates and experiences to our customers to generate this partnership.
Partner with Development:  Parallel Testing
Devtest engineers partner with developers from the very beginning of the development cycle, thereby flushing out defects at the earliest opportunity.
Letting Developers Develop
Our engineers possess a knowledge and understanding of technology at a development level which assists developers by reducing the overhead of investigating defects.  This frees developers to spend more time developing, and fixing bugs, instead of endless "bug-hunting".
Peers, Not Adversaries
Devtest Solution Teams facilitate daily communication and interaction between business, testing and development by building a team of peers, rather than adopting and propagating the traditional adversarial relationship (the 'wall') that exists between testing and development.
Fast Ramp-Up Time
The collective experience and knowledge of the Devtest Solution Team allows us to 'hit the ground running' when commencing a new project.  Our technical and business experience reduces the 'ramp up' time that may normally be associated with training internal teams with new or unfamiliar technologies.
Skill and Knowledge Transfer
An important benefit of a Devtest engagement is the knowledge transfer to the client's project team members in methodologies that can be utilised long after Devtest's involvement has been completed.  Devtest Solution Teams introduce MSF processes and procedures which the existing team is able to utilise and benefit from after the engagement.  In a large organisation, the Devtest team is then able to commence working with second and subsequent teams.


"In my experience, the unique expertise and passion that Devtest bring to an engagement has been a key risk mitigation factor for our customers."
