"Using Centre 4 Testing got our project back on track. Overwhelmed with new tools as part of an Agile adoption the C4T team were instrumental on getting our delivery on schedule. They hit the ground running and we were pleased with the value delivered. I would highly recommend them".

ON-TRACK - TEST CONSULTANCY

We think you will find our approach to consultancy refreshingly different. We do not profess to be ‘all things to all people’. Neither are we the ‘biggest’. But our clients tell us we’re the best at what we do – and that’s to ensure our Consultants offer pragmatic advice and create workable strategies and solutions.   

Our experts in test strategy and test automation will help you build successful testing into your business-as-usual processes, to improve software quality and cut the cost and pain of your development and implementation lifecycles. 
 
Above all, we give you the confidence to manage risk, without breaking the budget or undoing all of the good work you’ve done.

We cover:
  •  Functional testing
  •  Usability testing
  •  Test audits
  •  Strategic test consultancy for risk based testing and test process improvement. Read more.

How it works
 
Rather than being engaged for months on end, we recommend you draw on our consultancy expertise for short bursts, to set-up, implement and then regularly review a test strategy or to mentor your automation team, for example. You can always blend our services, say by using our consulting expertise at the outset of a project then engaging a team of cost-effective contract testers to execute the actual testing for you - we’ll identify, recruit and manage that team on an end-to-end basis. This is consultancy at it’s best – pay for the precise expertise, just when you need it.
  
What next
 
We’re very pragmatic and know that it’s important to fit in with your business processes. You will also appreciate our approach to knowledge transfer – we have no desire for our clients to become unnecessarily dependant upon us. Indeed we prefer you to own your own ‘centre of excellence’ of test assets, methodology and knowledge and naturally you can draw on our experience to help set-up a structure for this if required. We can even benchmark you against your peer group if you like.
 
Whether you have a programme of testing in mind or simply need some advice or mentoring, contact us today. We’ll aim to give you more confidence in risk management immediately.
