Software Testing Automation
Test Drift - An Agile Testing Process
At Test Drift, we provide the required testing assurance for your business.
We ensure your business processes are working as expected by leveraging automation and building a close working relationship with your software delivery teams
In todays agile world of system development, change is moved into production system components on a frequent if not daily basis.
Your business processes which are supported by these integrated components (typically cloud based systems/APIs) are at a higher risk of failing when change is introduced and they are not effectively tested.
Repeated manual testing of these business processes to provide the required quality assurance is time consuming, resource heavy and expensive.
Test Drift have developed an Agile Testing Process based on open source technologies that utilizes AI and Automation to provide the required rigorous testing needed on a daily basis.
Test Drift, thereby can provide your business with the required quality assurance at a fraction of the cost compared to the manual testing model, an end user experience that meets expectations and an increased automation capability within your organisation
