Software Testing

Testing is a critical part of IT project success. We have a high calibre testing practice with a diverse range of testing skills including automation, Test Management, mentoring and Agile testing approaches.

Clarus believes testing is one of the key components in delivering successful project.  However, most projects are inadequately tested or poorly tested. An ineffective and inefficient testing can lead to potential loss of revenue and customer trust.

Here is how Clarus can help:

  • Test management - evaluate the current state of testing practice and implement a testing strategy
  • Test automation - Implement web and desktop test automation using Fitnesse and Selenium
  • Test analysis - our consultants will analyse the test requirements, produce test artefacts, and complete execution
  • Testing training & mentoring - how to manage testing on Agile projects, the fundamentals of software testing

Clarus is a values-driven IT consulting firm committed existing in harmony with our social and physical environment. We value being able to control your own destiny, which is why we make microloans to people who really need some help and are less fortunate than us via Kiva. It is a hand up, rather than a hand out and these loans change lives.
