"Q/A Testing Services - Test Automation"

Nearly a decade ago Questcon Technologies was acquired by and integrated with Howard Systems International. The result has been a case study in effective expansion and clear direction---the combination of HSI’s talent acquisition abilities and Questcon’s methodologies, proven processes and depth of QA & testing expertise created a quality-focused organization more powerful than the sum of the parts. Questcon’s subject matter experts were nationally recognized as thought leaders in the industry. They had a broad portfolio of QA & testing solutions but lacked the size and investment ability to meet the demands of a national client base. HSI brought management oversight and guidance, financial resources and a growth-oriented business plan to the merger. We are now at the top of the quality assurance pyramid. We are completely “Client Focused—Solution Driven”.

Test Automation: Automated testing can yield significant benefits to a QA & testing organization and real bottom line results to a company. As a thought leader in software test automation Questcon has been instrumental in helping clients to develop and implement a comprehensive test automation strategy to fully leverage the capabilities of automated testing. As a tool-agnostic company, Questcon’s technical staff has indepth experience with the HP/Mercury and IBM/Rational toolsets as well as those provided by other software vendors. To complement the tools we developed a hybrid automation framework, our unique TestExcelerator^SM , which we’ve used to significant advantage for our many clients. Questcon's automation experts are graded on the delivery of high quality processes, scripts, test results and mentorship of the client staff--their marks are stellar.

Questcon’s approach for assuring software quality is founded on the fact that the highest return on a company’s software investment is achieved when defects are identified and corrected at the earliest point in the SDLC. Our QuestAssured^TM methodology strives for total quality from Day One in the software development process. We know the impact of errors, the costs of response time degradation and system crashes and the downside impact these can have on your customers and users. That’s why we approach every engagement with the goal of Zero Defects.
 

I have used Howard Systems for 10 years as a provider of systems consulting services and would like to thank HSI for being an integral and successful part of the projects that have been implemented by my organization. One of the most important factors is the ongoing followup you provide to ensure my requirements continue to be met
