Software Testing
Testing Support for Every Phase of Software Development
Supporting upstream to downstream improvements of software development quality
1. Software Test Support
No business is immune from the risk of software-related defects, so we provide an essential variety of testing support services, from test planning and design to execution across a wide range of software used in websites, applications, and business systems, and in nearly every field and industry, including finance, distribution, infrastructure, services, embedded systems, and IoT.
2. Quality Control Consulting
Our Quality Management Office (QMO) is set up to help clients ensure quality control over their projects in a timely and reliable manner. In addition to providing planning assistance and quality analysis, we support clients with our “Quality Strategy Map” framework based on the ISO25010-defined global standard for software quality models.
3. Testing tools and automation support
We provide a variety of testing tools and services for the efficient development of high-quality software. T-DASH, for example, enables those with even no knowledge of programming languages to easily automate testing. QualityTracker offers real-time monitoring of testing progress and efficiency through test case sharing. AnyTest provides easy remote testing of actual web and application devices.
4. Educational Services
Knowing that well-trained personnel is vital to the success of any business, we have VALTES COLLEGE, a software quality education service consisting of three programs: “corporate courses,” “open courses,” and “e-learning.” These provide instruction in a host of software optimization content starting with QUINTEE, a platform that seeks to consolidate and systematize all of the quality improvement know-how you cultivate across numerous projects to assist in the fostering of expert quality control-related personnel.
Software testing industry expected to grow dramatically
The division of labor between “development” and “testing” is increasing, as testing by developers results in uneven quality. However, despite a market size of 6.2 trillion yen, the percentage of testing outsourced to specialized companies is still only 1%. The software testing industry is a blue ocean that is expected to grow dramatically in the future.
