Quality IT applications are the backbone of most business processes today (whether customer-facing or internal), yet, according to Forrester Research “one-third of business stakeholders are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the quality of their software.”

Poorly tested and integrated software has a severe affect on a business’s customers, sales, partnerships, employees and financial bottom line.

Cloud computing, virtualization, service-oriented architectures, mobile deployments, and ever-changing compliance requirements all strain the performance of applications and the abilities of IT and IS organizations.

Quality Assurance and Testing is more than fixing problems after they’ve been found.

Effective Quality Assurance and Testing is a disciplined approach to preventing, eliminating, and reducing the damaging effects of defects, problems and issues.
