- How the planning service works
- Our testing planning service focuses on crafting a tailored approach to efficiently address your cloud software project's requirements. By meticulously analysing objectives and resources, we create a detailed test plan that outlines goals, methodologies, and timelines. Through close collaboration with stakeholders, we prioritize activities and establish clear communication channels, aiming to streamline the testing process and ensure high-quality software delivery.

- How the setup or migration service works
- As part of our migration strategy to the cloud or between cloud services, our initial focus lies on conducting a pre-migration assessment. This involves evaluating our current infrastructure and applications, as well as assessing their compatibility with the target cloud environment. Following this, we prioritise data migration validation as the next significant phase, ensuring compatibility, data integrity, and accuracy. Finally, in the last major phase, we perform functional, performance, and security testing of the application in the new environment.

We provide comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA) and Performance Testing services to help ensure your application's functionality, usability, and performance. Here's how we can assist you:
Functional Testing: We thoroughly test all functionalities of your application (web, mobile, or API) to ensure they adhere to requirements and user stories.
Usability Testing: We conduct user testing sessions to evaluate how intuitive and user-friendly your application is. This includes navigation, task completion, and overall user experience.
Security Testing: We identify vulnerabilities in your application that could be exploited by attackers. We perform penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and code reviews.
Automated Testing: We leverage tools like UFT, Selenium, Appium, Cypress, Postman, Rest Assured, Cucumber, TestNG etc. and other frameworks to automate repetitive testing tasks, improving efficiency and consistency.
Performance Analysis: We assess your application's performance under various load conditions, simulating real-world usage patterns. This identifies bottlenecks and ensures your application can handle peak traffic without compromising responsiveness.
Load Testing: We simulate high user loads to pinpoint potential performance issues and ensure your application can scale effectively.
Stress Testing: We push your application beyond its expected capacity to identify breaking points and improve overall resiliency.

Fighting climate change
Climate change is our generation’s greatest challenge and opportunity. Climate response accelerator is one of the three pillars in Jacobs global business strategy, focused on enabling end-to-end solutions that we co-create with our clients in energy transition, decarbonisation, adaptation & resilience and natural resource stewardship. Jacobs achieved its previous climate commitments in 2020, becoming carbon neutral for its operations and business travel and adopting 100% low-carbon electricity. In 2022, we further committed to ensuring every project becomes a climate response opportunity, to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040, and to maintaining carbon neutrality status and 100% low-carbon electricity for operations.Equal opportunity
Jacobs prides itself on being an inclusive place for all to work and makes conscious efforts to increase diversity and inclusion through our inclusion and diversity programme TogetherBeyond. Our employee networks are central to our approach which has been recognised by The Times as a Top 50 Employer for Gender Equality and Stonewall as no. 6 in the Top Employers for LGBTQIA+ people.
An example employee network is the ACE network, which sits at the heart of Jacobs drive to make Jacobs a fantastic place to work for disabled employees. They provide information, resources, and networking opportunities regarding physical, mobility and cognitive disabilities to disabled staff and to staff who provide caregiving services. Jacobs have also achieved a top score in the 2021 Disability Equality Index (DEI), a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and practices related to disability inclusion and workplace equality.
Our range of other fantastic employee networks help represent those who may otherwise feel a lack of representation in the workplace and encourage discussion on relevant topics to tackle issues around workforce inequality. These include networks covering disability support, Latino talent, Black talent, LGBTQIA+ talent, army veterans and a women network, as well as the OneWorld network, which aims to be an inclusive environment that actively nurtures and supports our diverse employees and clients across all ethnicities and cultures.Wellbeing
Jacobs values the wellbeing of not just employees on their projects, but everyone worldwide. In this regard, Jacobs and mental health professionals have teamed up to develop a free mental health check-In tool called 'One Million Lives' to help users assess their current state of mind and provide suggestions for growth. It also offers resources if someone needs more urgent help at the time of accessing the platform. It can be difficult to understand the many factors that contribute to overall mental health and to this tool allows a history of check-ins to be built, to allow users to self-assess mental health over time and identify declining mental health periods.
