Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: We help consider multiple solutions including cloud based testing. Using a variety of cloud options such as Azure or AWS and cloud hosted test tools such as LoadRunner Cloud we are able to help you plan testing services for the implementation of cloud hosting or cloud software. If you have already been advised or implemented cloud solutions we are able to benchmark and compare performance as well as automate the migration of data, even to build bespoke data transformation tools to help you change hosting or software.; If you are using a third party to move you to the cloud we can help QA their process from a performance testing perspective, making sure that before and after bench marking of critical applications are captured so you know if performance has improved or degraded with evidence. Before migration we can help clean house making sure unused baggage is not taken across. We can help with your cloud resourcing to make sure you are buying what is needed rather than overestimating usage. Once migrated, but before go live, we can conduct migration checks to ensure all data has gone across in the correct format.

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: We are a niche provider of performance testing and test automation. We provide independent risk analysis to determine the level of testing required to reach SLAs and achieve optimum performance before executing and reporting on performance testing.; ; We performance test mobile, desktop and web applications. Our automated testing greatly reduces the time manual testing requires and therefore greatly reduces costs whilst providing an easily maintained repeatable set of automated tests.; ; We are tool agnostic and are familiar with all the industry leading tools as well as open source tools.; ; Not all tests are suitable for automation and we can help you determine the ROI. We can help establish which applications or systems are most at risk according to business use and prioritise which should be performance tested. We deliver this by four clear stages - Discover, Build, Execute and Report.; ; Our consultants are able to tease our functional /non-functional requirements from the business, ensuring they are built into the test plan.; ; Non-functional software quality the key is infrastructue as code so that all the test environments, includig integration, performance and security are identical to production, meaning the risk of introcuing new defects is significantly reduced and replication production issues easier.

  Covid-19 recovery

  During Covid 19 we were able to support and retain all our staff through the crisis. We continue to support all employees not only by providing financial security but also guidance, allowing those who feel more comfortable to continue to work from home, gently encouraging people back to the work place to help give them a sense of community and belonging, supporting those who have developed mental health issues following lockdown, providing EAP support 24/7.; ; We have illustrated to staff our growth plans to show them a bright and positive future and reassure them of their positions in the company. We have acknowledged the challenges individuals have faced and what we face as a company.; ; As an agile company we were able to act in a decisive and flexible way during lockdown and now during recovery. We utilised technology such as Microsoft Teams, Google Meets to maintain seeing each other which enabled us to keep communication lines open and notice any early warning signs of stress or people not coping with the lockdown isolation. We also implemented a buddy system so that everyone had someone outside of their line manager to speak with on any subject matter.; ; We have focussed on staff retention and subsequently have not suffered the resignations other companies have. Instead we have strengthened our workforce.

  Tackling economic inequality

  As an equal opportunities employer we tackle economic inequality by employing people from all areas of the country, all genders/race/religion and paying them fairly.; ; For our temporary junior staff we pay the London Living wage as well as providing them with mentoring, training and career support.; ; Remote working has allowed us to employ people from as north as Scotland and as south as the Isle of Wight and paying salaries in line with their skill sets rather than their location.; ; We have a diverse work force with women in decision making roles and on salaries equal to their male counterparts.; ; By providing IT equipment we make sure that technology is not a barrier to progress.; ; We employ young people in a trainee/apprenticeship scheme and provide all their IT/Office/Travel/training needs to make sure they are able to work regardless of their personal financial status.; ; In the broader field of Creating new businesses, jobs and skills, as a supplier to the UK public sector, we have a responsibility to recycle taxpayers’ money in the UK economy.

  Equal opportunity

  We have an Equal Opportunities policy which underpins everything we do. Equal opportunities doesn't mean treating everyone the same but making sure the everyone has access to all opportunities. For example, have an elevator and disabled access toilets means that people who are physically challenged are able to work from the office or allowing people to work from home means they do not need to face the challenges of travelling into the office.; ; We are committed to the principle of equal opportunities and to creating a working environment which reflects a changing and diverse society, and in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect, free from unlawful discrimination, victimisation or harassment according to the protected characteristics: age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage or civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation; nationality.; ; Our commitment applies to all aspects of our business including: recruitment and the advertising of roles; terms and conditions of employment; training, career development and progression; and grievance and disciplinary procedures.

We ensure that the very best people actively choose to work with us over other companies, which in turn strengthens our offer for our clients and helps create happy, motivated, diverse and inclusive teams.; ; Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is accessible via phone/web/mobile • It gives our employees access to free 24/7 counselling and legal information. This is completely confidential. • The app also provides wellbeing tools to improve mental, physical and financial health, with personalised metrics, content and four week plans to set goals and celebrate achievements • This service also gives us access to Occupational Health Assessments so we can ensure the workplace is as good as it can be for our employees.; ; We conduct a regular “pulse” survey to specifically monitor health and wellbeing across the team (anonymously gathered) which is discussed at leadership meetings where team well being is a regular agenda item.
