The Devtest Solution Team

Additional Resources

Technical Assurance Agreement (TAA)
Devtest partners with clients to manage the quality of the complex software projects throughout the development cycle, to ensure the project is delivered on time and on budget.

Built from a decade of experience gained in the development arena at Microsoft Corporation (US), Devtest brings our experience, combined resources, tools and templates to our customers to generate this partnership.

Using Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for development Devtest implements its unique Solution Team approach, which has resulted in 100% successful delivery rates in our client's software development, migration and infrastructure projects.

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.  The Solution Team works together to create this synergistic relationship through daily communication and interaction between the stakeholders.

Rather than simply testing the product at completion, Devtest employs four key practices to manage and ensure consistency in the quality and stability of the project throughout the development as listed below. 


1.
  Automated daily build and deployment
2.
  Automated testing
3.
  Defect Management and metrics / statistic tracking
4.
  Performance Testing

See the "Devtest Solution Team" for more information on these areas.

Devtest educates the development teams, business and testers on how to move from a traditional testing approach to being able to thrive in a rapid application development environment using MSF.

Projects and Technologies
Almost any project can benefit from a successful application of MSF and Devtest quality management.  Devtest projects range from smaller "quick to market" products through to multi-tier business critical applications, including Windows Dynamic Networking Architecture (DNA®) solutions, .NET web portals and workflows, migrations from Mainframes and switching to Microsoft Datacenters.

Major recent projects have included:

Development of a .NET online travel booking services.
Development of a .NET web portal for 5000 members of the VACC.
Implementation of a 4 mode data centre for ANZ ATM banking.
Development of a sales tool for 4000 Telstra customer service representatives across Australia, using MS DNA middle-tier client server.
