Software Quality Assurance & Testing Services

Centric’s software QA and testing consulting helps engineering teams increase test coverage, reduce defects, and accelerate release cadence without sacrificing quality.

TALK TO AN EXPERT

Without modern approaches to software quality assurance and testing, you can’t develop the solutions you need to keep up with customers and competitors.

If your organization is not using modern software quality assurance and testing methodologies, you’re likely experiencing chronic manual-testing bottlenecks, increased test cycle times, and escaped defects. Or perhaps you’re experiencing these challenges because you are operating in silos or starved for resources.

The best way to increase testing coverage, decrease testing cycle time, and improve quality is to leverage modern testing practices, including automation, to support rapid delivery. With the increasing use of Agile, Lean, and DevOps, testing has quickly become a focal point for accelerating delivery while improving quality.

Centric’s software quality assurance consulting team specializes in test automation, digital assurance, and application security testing, helping engineering teams ship faster without compromising quality.

With our help, your organization confidently accelerates testing velocity, reduces escaped defects, and builds the QA capability needed to sustain rapid, high-quality software delivery.

CLIENT STORY

Automating Testing to Maximize Resources

Our client, a chemical information company, needed to scale up an automation team for a large Agile program with eight teams. But both the teams’ capacity and the project budget were limited, though the company had sourced with six local contracting firms and 11 embedded contract automation resources. 

We implemented a program called Rock Star to develop innovative learning and growth capability for the Agile teams in-house. We put four employees through an intensive two-week, hands-on training class to learn engineering and automation practices, such as: 

  • architectural design patterns 
  • static code analysis 
  • best practices for designing automated tests.  

After three months, the 4 Rock Stars were as productive as the other 11 existing contract resources. Because they had learned the engineering architectural side of test design, six months later the Rock Stars were outproducing the other resources by an average of 900%.

Reduction in Defects

We engaged Centric to replace our existing QA vendor in 2019. Centric rapidly scaled up to meet our demanding schedule and seamlessly collaborated to implement our desired validation approach. Results to date have been excellent. The percentage of business found defects during UAT reduced from 48% to 15% within 9 months and has continued to decrease to 10% over the last year.
