SQS PractiQ^® - Early Error Detection with Test Case Specification

Surveys have found that about 70% of errors in software projects occur at the early analysis and design stages. That is why incomplete or inaccurate requirement specifications and inadequate testing give rise to considerable costs. Early Error Detection and correction, however, can cut the resulting costs by up to 90%.

SQS Software Quality Systems has therefore put together in Early Error Detection by Test Case Specification a bundle of services and tools that provides companies with comprehensive Early Error Detection measures irrespective of their industry, size or software landscape.

Early Error Detection by Test Case Specification components (optional)

• Test management combined with project and quality management
• Support and coaching of staff and testing teams
• Test and business analysis
• Systematic checking of documents and specifications
• Identification of errors, ambivalences, contradictions and gaps
• Documentation of defects and their solutions
• Use of SQS-TEST®/Professional to support quality assurance
• Systematic specification of test cases (SQS Test Case Specification)
• Tool support and integration of Test Case Specification (TCS) into the existing tool landscape
• Training sessions with systematic training in devising test cases
• Compiling of test cases and reduction to the essential minimum
• ROI calculation with the aid of benchmarks

For these tasks SQS has tools of its own such as SQS-TEST®/Professional TCS with stored methods that make a formalised analysis with meaningful, correlatable results possible.
