Flex Testing
As the digital revolution keeps evolving, IT-departments tend to struggle more and more with time- and budget restrictions. When unforeseen circumstances arise, companies often have a need for fast and temporary test capacity. Flex (software) testing provides an ideal solution in these situations.
The basics
- Dedicated team with different testing specialties (functional, automation, performance, security)
- Transparent pricing because of clearly defined task(s) and limited duration
- Flexible in expertise and resources
- Ideal solution for SMEs
- Proven effective for:
- Projects with a short lead time
- Ad-hoc projects
- Temporary replacement of internal resources (illness, pregnancy, vacation, …)
- Fixed priced projects
The process
We start each project with an intake during which we define the technology, the scope and the approach. Following this meeting you receive our proposal. After approval, execution of the project starts.
Each project ends with a proper debrief where we discuss the outcome and provide a detailed report. During the whole project you have one point of contact that guides you through the process.
