Infrastructure & Environments Testing
Environments Testing
There is a simple message about test environments in that they affect more than just testing. How good they are affects both the development lifecycle and the processes used, production support and maintenance costs, and the overall methods and costs an organization is prepared to accept.
Similarly, for many businesses the network infrastructure enables the operation of the most critical business functions. The infrastructure must deliver optimal performance, and seamless connectivity to partners, customers and suppliers to enable the business to perform.
SQS-UK provides a simple service that will assist in the building and testing of effective environments and infrastructures that will make a difference to the efficiency of development and implementation, leading to reduced cost and faster implementation.
Adopting these test environment methods can simplify project work, make data more manageable, improve testing effectiveness and reduce costs - simply by reusing existing resources to the benefit of all.
The move towards the extreme model, shown below, of highly focused specific environments prepared and provided to the projects teams is not a high cost. Most organizations have the tools and the resources available - at present they are either shelfware or are being used inefficiently. A modest investment applied by increments, using suitable milestones, can achieve high returns when following an improvement "road map" towards the vision.
