Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: The objective of testing is verification that technical or functional modifications (through configuration, data loading or other development criteria) are implemented in accordance with agreed acceptance criteria.; ; We achieve this by integrating testing into the Iterative development cycles, otherwise known as timeboxes. This ensures regular reviews throughout the project lifecycle.; ; Setting acceptance criteria is a critical part of all timebox plans. Execution of the test cases will expose and identify any defects in the system configuration and operation, thereby allowing resolution of such defects prior to the release of the system into a production environment.; ; The review and quality control of all solutions which are created as the project matures helps to demonstrate that the quality of the delivered solutions is meeting the expected standards of the project as a whole. Before test cases can be created, the user stories (a requirement written from a user perspective) will be created by the Solution Development Team. User stories maybe generalised when multiple roles can do the same action within a system.; ; Test cases are built upon the user story and acceptance criteria. Each user story can be split into multiple test cases that cover the user story associated acceptance criteria.

  Fighting climate change

  Cohesive are putting sustainability goals into action, both internally but also externally helping support our clients’ journeys helping establish sustainability and ESG data foundations which can enable a business to be more responsible and profitable. From optimizing energy consumption and reducing operational costs to enhancing sustainability and improving carbon goals, there is a constant need for innovative solutions that we provide which drive efficiency and productivity. Internally, we are committed to reporting on relevant ESG topics aligned with leading frameworks and methodologies. We have been measuring our carbon footprint since 2006 using the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard, including emissions from office utility consumption, global business travel, and colleague commuting. We strive for efficiency in our business practices including corporate travel, colleague commuting and energy use for our offices. We are engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the world’s leading coalition for setting corporate emission reduction targets in line with climate science. Their Net-Zero Standard is the benchmark against which organizations demonstrate strong management of their climate strategy, and why we chose to work within their framework. By submitting our near-term corporate targets to SBTi we are formally committing to be a part of the movement, in line with the Paris Agreement, to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and reach a common goal of net zero no later than 2050. We encourage and support recycling and energy conservation programmes and each office participates in recycling programmes as offered by the local authorities and landlords. We have a published Carbon Reduction Plan in line with the requirements of PPN 06/21, published here: https://cohesivegroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/CARBON-REDUCTION-PLAN-Cohesive-UK-Group-Ltd.pdf

  Tackling economic inequality

  We are passionate about helping the communities where we live and work, in every country where we operate. We support both global and local initiatives, both corporately and through the initiative of our colleagues. Through corporate giving, we provide financial support for global and local organisations, such as The Hunger Project, Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross, and many others. These organisations help provide necessities—such as food, water, and shelter—to people in need all around the world.

  Equal opportunity

  We are an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, religion, national origin, age, or any other protected characteristic. This commitment extends to all aspects of employment, including, but not limited to, hiring, placement, promotion, compensation, and training. We support workplace fair practices that promote diversity and inclusion. All suppliers are expected to promote a workforce and workplace free of harassment, unlawful discrimination, and retaliation. Suppliers are expected to provide equal opportunity employment and must not discriminate on the basis of age, race, colour, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, covered veteran status, or any other status protected by law. We are committed to conducting business with integrity and upholding high standards for business ethics and responsibility. This commitment extends to our suppliers, vendors, and business partners; our Supplier Code of Conduct details our commitments to responsible business throughout our supply chain. All suppliers and their employees or consultants (sub-suppliers) must adhere to this Supplier Code of Conduct while conducting business with us and must comply with all applicable laws and regulations while conducting business with us. We provide a Whistle-blower hotline to enable reporting of any violations of the code.

  Wellbeing

  The health, safety, and well-being of our colleagues, contractors and the public is of primary importance to us. All our colleagues understand that they are responsible for their own safety and wellbeing, and that they must be alert to safety and wellbeing concerns for those around them. Our health, safety and wellbeing policy provides colleagues and contractors with information about managing health and safety hazards and risks associated with our business, premises and activities. It is structured to set out legal duties and how to comply with the health & safety policy, safe work practices and procedures. Our Mental Health First Aiders have been formally accredited to administer mental health first aid in the workplace, by attending and passing a Mental Health First Aid Course that has been delivered by an Accredited Mental Health First Aid Instructor. They must be easily contactable during core working hours, be able to be called away from their normal duties at short notice if required and be able to maintain confidentiality as appropriate whilst demonstrating an ability to relate well to colleagues. Cohesive recognises that respecting the privacy of information relating to individuals who have received mental health first aid or may be experiencing a mental health problem or a mental health crisis at work is of high importance. All mental health first aiders and HR representatives are obligated to treat all matters sensitively and privately in accordance with Cohesive’s confidentiality protocols. If at any time the Mental Health First Aider assesses there is a risk of harm to another individual, they must escalate the matter to HR and they will advise on next steps. Cohesive's Operations Board are responsible for supporting Regional Managing Directors in implementing the Cohesive HSW policy manual and applying the controls in leading their global teams.
