SQS PractiQ® - Performance Testing as a Managed Service
System outages or bottlenecks cost a lot of money and often harm a company’s image. Fail to meet the more exacting speed and availability requirements and you will interrupt operating schedules or ultimately lose customers. That is why performance testing is business-critical. It is also far from easy: performance is not a fixed quantity; it is subject to fluctuations according to the season and the time of day and also varies for different technologies.
SQS has the skills, processes and on- as well as offshore models required to carry out difficult performance tests inexpensively and with a manageable risk. Experienced SQS testing experts are ready to spring into action in different models adjusted to the customer’s individual needs:
- Fixed resource: long-term commitment with a fixed number of testers (an annual contract, for example)
- Core/flex team: a permanent “core team” combined with a “flex team” that can be called in at short notice
- Hosted service: full SLA-based outsourcing of tests to SQS with defined teams and locations at fixed rates or as an on-demand service
By using these flexible offers companies, can reduce their performance testing costs and risks by up to a third. In the process, they benefit from the services of tried and trusted testing experts with at least five years’ career experience and thereby save the cost of a protracted and expensive build-up of in-house capacity.
