Test Automation
Transformative services that go beyond building and executing automation test scripts
The best performing QA organizations deliver higher quality products faster and keep costs in check by automating up to 80% of their test cases. Test automation can catch defects earlier in the development cycle, improve test coverage and eliminate thousands of test execution hours. Reaching that level of efficiency means overcoming many challenges. Lionbridge helps product development firms get over the test automation hurdles.
A typical first obstacle to automation initiatives is the upfront investment. Lionbridge can mitigate start-up costs by:
- Eliminating the cost of developing test automation frameworks by providing our own pre-built templates
- Amortizing the cost of automation tool licenses over the course of a long-term engagement
- Utilizing blended onshore/offshore resource models
To reduce risk, we can offer shared-risk engagement models, and ensure that test automation software does not end up as shelfware.
Since 1987, Lionbridge’s test services group has worked collaboratively with leading product development organizations to plan, implement, and sustain their test automation initiatives. We follow a five-step process:
- Assess your QA processes and determine where test automation can deliver the greatest ROI
- Architect a test automation strategy including resource models, tool selection, and continuous process improvement
- Build a test automation framework, utilizing pre-built VeriTest harnesses whenever possible, and automation test infrastructure
- Train and deploy skilled test automation engineers that develop and execute test scripts
- Institute cradle-to-grave test case lifecycle management
For all engagements, Lionbridge can within days deploy its PlusOne™ continuous process improvement method, and provide ROI dashboards to senior management so improvements can be tracked to the P&L bottom line.
Each client's needs are unique, and Lionbridge offers automation test services at the customer site, in near-site facilities, in low-cost onshore solution centers, and from our offshore centers in Asia and Eastern Europe. Our engagement models include T&M, fixed-bid, and pay-for-performance frameworks. In all cases, our automation services are governed by mutually-agreed SLAs and productivity metrics.
Lionbridge can help you transform your quality processes so they keep pace with best-in-class organizations.
