Verification & Validation

In today's business environment, an application that fails is not just is a bad piece of software, it has an adverse impact on your business. Software quality is created and assured by efficient testing, and testing services have emerged as a critical specialized functional area within the IT domain.

Testing is recognized as a specialized functional area within the development lifecycle that is critical to business success. Experts advocate that testing be conducted independently, and industry best practices include setting up independent testing teams that function autonomously. As a specialized skill, testing is common to all vertical industries and technological domains. By virtue of its high skill focus, non-limiting attributes and independent nature, it lends itself as a prime candidate for outsourcing.

Independent testing on complex and critical applications helps in operating with zero system outages from application failures. The ability to test and validate business applications and software products is vital for helping organisations operate effectively. The main reasons for any application failure is attributed to two aspects, one, being lack of business knowledge and second, poor testing processes.
