Attest Digital are subject matter experts in test and assurance approaches and implementation. We understand the complexity of the interactions across the government digital network, particularly in healthcare, and have many examples where solutions have migrated and been maintained on to cloud safely and efficiently as a consequence of our input.
Specifically, we can offer advice and support on functional and integration testing, volume and performance testing, ready for operations testing and data migration testing. We promote shift-left approaches to capture issue as early as possible. Our objective is to continuously ensure that a service does what it's supposed to do to meet user needs efficiently and reliably.

Attest Digital provide test and assurance support models to ensure the live estate remains safe and available post go-live. In particular, we provide shift-left approaches to find issues as early as possible. We also promote shift-right approaches within production environments so that solutions can be improved once behaviour in the live estate is assessed and understood.
We also provide test and assurance frameworks for assessment purposes when onboarding new internal and third-party integrated solutions.

Fighting climate change
Attest Digital use virtual meeting technology to remain in touch with Buyers and to reduce the need to travel. Attest Directors and Associates use public transport where possible when there is a need to travel when providing their consultancy and support services.Covid-19 recovery
As an ethical provider to the UK public sector, we support organisations and businesses to manage and recover from the impacts of Covid-19, by suggesting new ways of working (for example agile testing, shift-left and shift-right test approaches) in order to catch up on the back log of deliveries.
As a micro-supplier, we have the advantage of staying close to each of our Directors and Associates. In particular, we continue to support the mental health of our colleagues by organising regular meet-ups and other activities, thus reducing the demand on health and care services.Tackling economic inequality
Attest Digital endeavour to grow to help tackle economic inequality. Initiatives already in place include (i) creating contract opportunities particularly for those who experienced redundancy before and during the pandemic, and (ii) creating employment and training opportunities, particularly for people in industries with known skills shortages or in high growth sectors (for example, technical test and quality assurance skills for integrated cloud based IT solutions).
When working with our customers, we endeavour to demonstrate collaboration with all delivery partners in the delivery of the contract, thus increasing supply chain resilience and capacity.Equal opportunity
Attest Digital are keen to create a culture that is professional, respectful and ethical, and one that actively progresses those from disadvantaged or minority groups. Our Directors and Associates are from a diverse and varied background, our ethos enabling all to gain opportunities and to progress at pace.
We have a Code of Values and Ethics which we expect our Directors and Associates to follow. This includes statements of intent along 6 main themes: respect for others, awareness (of culture), integrity and honesty, competence and accountability, collaboration and leadership.
We also have a Modern Slavery Statement in place to identify and manage the risks of modern slavery when delivering to our customers.Wellbeing
Attest Digital are firmly committed to the wellbeing of our Directors and Associates. We are determined to allow ourselves and our Associates to grow not only as professionals but also as individuals.
Examples of this include (i) during the Covid-19 pandemic when one of our Directors took time out to volunteer at their local community Covid-19 Support Hub ensuring vulnerable residents had access to shopping, medicines and social interactions, (ii) another Director regularly reached out to our wider network to ensure social contact was maintained during lockdowns, and has since encouraged and organised face-to-face meetups to remain in touch, and (iii) we regularly donate to charities close to our hearts and families.
When working with customers and delivery partners, we endeavour to ensure contracts support health and wellbeing, including physical and mental health, through close assessment of working hours, commuting distances and general working conditions. We also ensure that all of our activities demonstrate collaboration with users, communities and wider stakeholders to ensure value is added in all that we do.
