Services

Our services are designed to be flexible and modular, allowing you to select only the components necessary for your requirements. This methodology ensures you get the maximum value from your budget by driving predictability and efficiency through the test process, maximising return on investment using a risk-based strategy.

To help achieve this we provide the optimum blend of managed resources onsite, offsite or offshore, with full ownership to guarantee successful delivery.

We aim to;

1. Improve governance of vendor delivery quality
2. Establish single version of well-defined testable business requirements
3. Improve quality flowing into the test  phase of delivery
4. Reduce production defects
5. Improve feedback loop - Lessons learnt identified to stakeholders

We achieve this by following the Key Principles of :

1. Collaboration – across business user teams and vendors
2. Phased –  building block approach
3. Quality across all phases of IT delivery from requirements through to production support
4. Right First Approach – Quality starts with the start of the delivery and not at the final stages
5. Continuous Improvement through sharing of lessons

Amsphere’s knowledge-centric Test Methodology is designed to expand upon industry-standard v-model methods / techniques for different aspects of testing in order to maximise test efficiency and test effectiveness. This approach is intended to ensure that an appropriate level of verification and validation is performed at each stage in the delivery process without unnecessary costs being incurred and fulfilling the expectation that the delivered solution meets the business need without significant fault. 

Testing Methodology

A risk-based approach to verification and validation ensures that resources are efficiently deployed to maximise effectiveness.  In order to ensure correct prioritisation, a full test risk assessment will be performed in the early stages of the project.  In Amsphere’s experience the level of risk incurred in delivery increases with the scale of change, as outlined below. 

Risk Categorisation

To further increase the value of our testing services, Amsphere have the skills to manage and maintain our customer’s pre-production, development and testing environments. Quality of infrastructure build, process of environment management and control and consistency of environments across development phases all have a significant impact on the quality and timeliness of applications delivered to the business. Our service ensures that all configurations are documented, managed and risk assessed, removing the cost of duplication and enabling reuse of resources.
