Test and Assurance Methodologies

Test Assurance should be considered: when an organisation has outsourced IT projects to one or more third party suppliers or when there are multiple suppliers delivering on a programme; when User Acceptance Testing (UAT) cycles have identified defects or issues that should have been trapped by upstream supplier side testing activities; when the complexity and scale of the project is too great to have UAT as the only client side test activity; or when the supplier delivering the project has a history of delivering a high number of defects into UAT.

AmpsTek work with you and your suppliers to help you to achieve project success. Our industry standard methodologies support a clear and objective assessment of your suppliers’ testing activity and offer practical recommendations for continuous improvement.
