Test Strategy & Execution

Programmes and projects can run into problems and over runs during the test stage of an initiative, often due to an inappropriate focus on test execution rather than ensuring the test strategy adopted is aligned to the specific initiative.

Searchlights test strategy services, provides focus during the design stage of programmes or projects to:

  • Establish a risk based approach to testing
  • Defining the scenarios or use cases that reflect the critical business requirements
  • Establish traceability from requirement, design through build and test
  • Ensure functional, non-functional and service requirements are appropriately considered within the different stage of testing – system, integration, performance, operational acceptance, user acceptance and regression

Searchlights test execution services, provides focus to ensure test execution is planned, prepared and managed effectively:

  • Establishing detailed plans, ensuring cross functional testing is executed in a timely and efficient manner
  • Ensuring data definition is centrally defined, complying with appropriate security management requirements
