The Open Source Test Engagement Model

Lets Get Engaged!

Open Source Testing will do wonderful things for your organization. Your testing efforts will cost less. Your test team will work more efficiently with your developers and IT managers. And, your customers, vendors, and partners will be happier with higher quality Web applications.

The problem you need to solve as a manager is how to get started with Open Source Testing. I recommend you first get engaged, with PushToTest. Hire a service company that is expert in Open Source Test tools and methodology, add their expertise to your team, and do an initial assessment to determine which tools and methods work best with your systems.

Here is what we have for you:

Step #1 Proof of Concept

PushToTest applies its test engineers to write a test script demonstrating the ability to take data from a data source and drive a Web interface and Web service (SOAP or REST), followed by database interaction to confirm the results. Follow this with the transformation into a simple load and performance test, demonstrating the ability to emulate multiple virtual users.

Step #2 Assessment - Test Architectural Review and Planning Engagement

In an Assessment, our test engineers sit down and do an architecture review and planning session with your development, test, and operations teams. We follow this agenda:

Introductions, roles, and responsibilities
Walk through your application
Testing requirements definition - use cases, work-flow, parameters
Operational test data requirements
Test operation infrastructure requirements
Test Authoring, Test Orchestration and Test Management overview

Our experts deliver an actionable assessment and plan for moving forward, including a methodology plan, QuickStart plan, process and next steps. We also score your team's ability to succeed.

Step #3 QuickStart - Putting Testing Into Practice

After the Assessment is reviewed, and you agree with the scope, cost and timing of the proposed strategy, we schedule the QuickStart. The QuickStart delivers a Statement of Work, we install and configure TestMaker Enterprise, develop test scripts and templates for the application, and provide light training for your organization to develop their own tests.
