Planning

- How the planning service works
-
Expleo Test Automation specialists take a pragmatic approach to planning automation initiatives and move through initial Proof of Concept and Pilot phases to ensure that the applications under test are appropriate for automation, and to select the best tool for the technologies in scope, now and during the lifetime of the project.
They will prioritise automating the applications and functional areas that will return the most value; through reducing risk of defects, reducing the cost of manual testing, increasing test coverage, or a combination of these. They will also work with the client to plan for service continuity, carrying out knowledge transfer to client staff where appropriate. - Planning service works with specific services
