Quality assurance and performance testing
- Quality assurance and performance testing service
- Yes
- How the quality assurance and performance testing works
- Our general software testing approach is an extension of our ISO 9004 standard and is based on ISO29119. Many of our projects leverage already certified platforms or solutions upon which we would overlay our Application Lifecycle Model approach to testing. Plan – We will plan and subsequently sign-off any actions with the client, identifying who will action the changes and providing a forward schedule of change. This would be progressed through required governance such as official Change Advisory Board (CAB) approval Develop/Configure – We will then configure the solution which may also mean performing changes directly on the production tenant. This stage also sees instructions and documentation created on how to implement the solution. Test – We then undertake agreed testing to ensure adherence to the required specification prior to handing over for supported customer User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Deploy – Once all testing is completed, we then deploy as per the approved and documented process. Maintain – We provide on-going support for the solution via the project technical team.

- How the support service works
- Aside from the support we deliver to our own proprietary products, we also operate a technical escalation service desk, which delivers L2 / L3 / L4 support across the Azure & M365 stack, maintaining our customers cloud based solutions with the highest level of skill set and business rigor. The service desk will cover any issues raised against the Azure & O365 tenancy with options for a PAYG, all you can eat offering it provides ultimate flexibility to our customers. Each service desk can be “tweaked” based on a customers needs to bring things in or out of scope. This includes things like dropping out the patching module (which we provide for on premises customers) and replacing it with Azure AD management (which our pure cloud customers use) or some SharePoint development hours instead. We also provide YellowBracelet.co.uk, BedStateTracker.co.uk, PowerCleanse.co.uk, PowerTransform.co.uk, Primary Care Online, and the NHPP. All of our Service Desk capability is delivered from the UK and by BPSS / SC & DV Cleared resources - all services listed on DigitalMarketplace.

-
Equal opportunity
When an employee is onboarded they complete our standard Equality, Diversity and Inclusion questionnaire which is then reviewed by their line manager and HR representation. We also conduct an annual Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Survey in support to support this initial activity. The yearly survey is completely optional and although staff are encouraged to complete it is not a mandatory requirement. It allows us to monitor how well we are performing in ensuring that we are an inclusive, equal and diverse workplace. More importantly, it gives us a further platform for progress and accountability. It is also an opportunity to step back and celebrate the work we’ve done as an organisation to create an environment where people are encouraged to be themselves and to speak up about the issues that matter to them. Championing inclusion and diversity, and role modelling the right behaviours must happen at all levels and corners of our organisation. This is vital if we are to really create an organisation where the principles of equality, fairness and inclusivity are woven into our DNA – whether that’s how we recruit, how we communicate or anything else. There is a particular responsibility on the leadership tiers within our service towers to lead the way in this work. This makes it important that our management team commit to investing their time into understanding what needs to be done and take personal responsibility for making sure it happens when areas of adjustment or improvement are identified. - Wellbeing
